LeakShield AI: An MCP-Powered Proactive Data Leak Containment Agent

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by NullPointers at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

Proactive Data Leak Containment Agent is an MCP-powered security assistant that continuously monitors developer files for exposed credentials. When a secret is detected, the agent automatically quarantines the affected file, updates the MCP security state, logs the incident, generates a detailed forensic report, and displays live security statistics. This demonstrates autonomous threat detection, containment, and incident reporting using the Model Context Protocol.
