Introduction

What is CyberCage?

CyberCage is an enterprise-grade AI security platform with built-in guardrails that provides real-time threat detection for AI-powered development environments. It protects against AI-specific threats by monitoring communications between AI assistants and MCP servers, blocking malicious behavior before it can cause damage.

The Problem

Without proper guardrails, MCP servers operate with zero oversight, gaining unrestricted access to:

• Your file system (source code, credentials, SSH keys)
• API tokens and environment variables
• Command execution capabilities
• Database connections and customer data

A single compromised MCP server can silently exfiltrate credentials, steal proprietary code, or execute arbitrary commands—all while appearing to function normally.

The Solution

CyberCage sits between your AI assistants and MCP servers, providing comprehensive multi-layered defense:

• Server Catalog Management - Only approved servers are allowed to run
• Request Analysis - Pattern matching + AI analysis on every request
• Response Monitoring - Detect credential leaks, data exfiltration, and prompt injection

Key Benefits

Zero Configuration

Install with one command. CyberCage automatically detects your IDEs and wraps MCP servers without any manual configuration.
