How to Set Up and Use Audit Database
The Audit Database (audit-db) is a community-maintained, open-source repository of structured security audits and compliance assessments for Model Context Protocol servers. It stores standardized JSON manifests and detailed markdown reports covering findings, severity ratings, CWE references, tools used, and reproduction steps. Organizations can query the database to evaluate MCP server safety before deployment, submit their own audit results, and programmatically integrate findings into their security toolchains using the included Python utilities.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9 or higher installed
- Git installed to clone the repository
- Node.js 18+ for TypeScript-based tooling in the repository
- Familiarity with JSON schema and MCP server concepts
- A MCP-compatible AI client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the audit-db repository
Clone the community repository to get the full database of audit results and the included Python utilities.
git clone https://github.com/ModelContextProtocol-Security/audit-db.git
cd audit-dbExplore the audit database structure
The repository organizes audits in a standardized directory layout. Each audit contains an audit-manifest.json with fields like audit_id, auditor, target, findings_summary, tools_used, compliance_checks, and references. Browse available audits to understand what has already been assessed.
ls audits/
cat audits/<server-name>/audit-manifest.jsonValidate an audit submission
Before submitting your own audit, use the provided validate-audit.py tool to check that your JSON manifest conforms to the required schema. This catches missing required fields such as Finding ID, Severity, Category, and CWE reference.
python tools/validate-audit.py --path path/to/your/audit-manifest.jsonRebuild search indexes
After adding new audit entries, regenerate the search index so the database reflects the latest findings. This is also useful after pulling upstream changes.
python tools/generate-index.pyAdd audit-db as an MCP resource in Claude Desktop
Since audit-db is a data repository rather than a running server, the most practical integration is to point Claude Desktop at the local checkout so the AI can reference audit findings. Add the path to your local clone in the MCP configuration.
Audit Database Examples
Client configuration
Because audit-db is a data repository, a typical integration uses a filesystem MCP server pointing to the local clone so Claude can read audit manifests and reports.
{
"mcpServers": {
"audit-db": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/absolute/path/to/audit-db"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Ask Claude to reference audit findings from the local database to support deployment decisions.
- "What security findings exist for the GitHub MCP server in the audit database?"
- "Summarize the compliance checks and severity ratings for any audited filesystem MCP servers."
- "Which audited MCP servers have critical severity findings with CWE references?"Troubleshooting Audit Database
validate-audit.py reports missing required fields
Open your audit-manifest.json and ensure all required top-level keys are present: audit_id, auditor, target, audit_metadata, findings_summary, tools_used, compliance_checks, and references. Use the provided template in the repository's /templates directory as a starting point.
generate-index.py fails with a FileNotFoundError
Run the script from the root of the repository (cd audit-db) so it can find the /audits directory. Make sure the audits folder exists and contains at least one valid subdirectory with an audit-manifest.json file.
Claude cannot read audit files through the filesystem MCP server
Verify the absolute path in your MCP config points to the repository root (e.g., /Users/you/audit-db not a subdirectory). Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config file.
