  "account": "A new tool called mcp-drift-monitor has been developed to detect unauthorized changes in MCP servers. The tool addresses a critical blind spot identified in a research paper on arXiv:2608.00997, which found that traditional change detection approaches fail to identify silent changes and new additions to the MCP registry. The monitor implements a periodic full catalog sweep to re-download all servers and recompute hashes. It was calibrated and verified using a panel of 19,099 servers observed over 88.6 days, and is available as a Docker image or library on GitHub.",
