Claude Code has an MCP security problem — and your developers are already using it
Claude Code is Anthropic’s AI coding assistant — a command-line tool that developers are adopting fast.
Summary
Claude Code is Anthropic’s AI coding assistant — a command-line tool that developers are adopting fast. It connects to external services through Model Context Protocol, the standard that lets AI tools interact with Jira, Confluence, GitHub, databases and internal APIs. When a developer connects one of those services, Claude Code runs an OAuth flow, the user approves the scopes and the tool receives a bearer token it uses for every subsequent request. That token is stored in plaintext in a configuration file on the developer’s machine.
