In Stacklok's July 2026 survey of enterprise engineers, 86% of MCP use is still experimentation or local development, only 5% runs governed, enterprise-wide production, and 49% name security and compliance as the biggest blocker. OWASP lists tool poisoning (MCP03) and shadow MCP servers (MCP09) in its MCP Top 10. A team approves a server by its name; the code behind the name keeps moving. Our signed scan of the whole registry this week:
Figures: Redthread's daily signed scan of 55,375 servers in the official MCP registry, 2 November 2026. Survey: Stacklok, State of MCP in Software 2026. OWASP MCP Top 10.
A new operating model for AI-era security
One context graph runs all three teams — from code to cloud to agent identity to defend. Red proves it, Green prevents it, Blue watches it.
Agent identity — the credit file
Every AI agent in production is a privileged identity with no ID: it holds real credentials, acts autonomously, and nobody can prove what it did. Redthread issues each agent a verifiable cryptographic agent identity (SPIFFE), keeps a signed record of what it is trusted to do and what it did, and checks the tools it calls against the daily signed registry scan above. Checking a record is free — that's what makes it neutral.

Roads come before traffic rules and toll booths.
The road Live
A daily signed scan of the whole official MCP registry. It built the evidence layer (keys, key list, verify flow), a map of the tool supply (versions, hashes, provenance, fingerprints), and distribution — installers meet our signed claims before our sales team.
The vehicles Live Preview
Cryptographic agent identity (SPIFFE), signed action records, verify badges and self-serve signup are live. In preview: a Claude Code and Cursor gate and hooks, and Enforce, a gateway that checks each request and its content.
The bureau Next
Any API, site, bank or MCP server can ask four questions about any agent. Phase 0 is built: vault-sealed signing keys, an uneditable ledger, a transparency log. Each next step starts when a design partner asks.
