Universal-Poison-Armor MCP server

Universal Poison Armor is an open-source, production-grade security framework and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents, LLM pipelines, and RAG systems. It provides multi-layer protection against indirect prompt injection, zero-width Unicode steganography, adversarial suffixes (GCG attacks), tracking pixels / Markdown XSS, semantic dataset poisoning, and Consensus Poisoning / Sybil attacks.

Combines standard, native agentic behavioral directives (`SKILL.md`) with a high-performance local FastMCP server.

๐Ÿšจ What is AI Poisoning?

As autonomous AI agents, coding assistants, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines ingest external data from repositories, web search results, PDFs, and databases, they are vulnerable to Adversarial Context & Data Poisoning Attacks:

code
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                           AI Context Poisoning Vectors                        |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  1. Indirect Prompt Injection   | Attacker hides instructions inside data to  |
|                                 | hijack the agent's system prompt & tools.   |
|  2. Zero-Width Steganography    | Invisible Unicode tokens (ZWSP, tags) bypass|
|                                 | human review but trigger LLM token actions. |
|  3. Adversarial Suffixes (GCG)  | High-entropy mathematical token gibberish   |
|                                 | designed to force model safety bypasses.    |
|  4. Tracking Pixel Exfiltration | Markdown images/iframes leak IP addresses.  |
|  5. Semantic RAG Poisoning      | Adversary seeds knowledge bases with trojan |
|                                 | clusters that alter model reasoning.        |
|  6. Consensus & Sybil Attacks   | Bot networks flood search results with near-|
|                                 | identical claims to trick AI into consensus.|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Universal Poison Armor neutralizes these threats *before* untrusted content reaches the LLM context window.

        ๐ŸŒ Universal Deployment Architecture

        Universal Poison Armor is designed with an adaptive transport resolver that works out-of-the-box in both 100% offline local environments and any cloud hosting platform.

        +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

        1. Glama MCP Hub

        Deploy and interact with Universal Poison Armor on Glama:

        1. Verified maintainer control enabled via `glama.json`.

        2. One-click deploy & release via the Glama Dockerfile Admin.

        3. Ready for immediate prompt testing and sanitization in Glama Chat.

        2. CreateOS (NodeOps)

        Deploy directly via GitHub or CLI:

        1. Connect your repository to CreateOS dashboard or run `createos deploy`.

        2. CreateOS automatically detects `mcp-tool.json` and exposes tools via SSE on port `8080`.

        3. Connect your agent to `https://.nodeops.app/sse`.

        3. mcphosting.io

        1. Create a new service on mcphosting.io.

        2. Link your Git repository or deploy the Docker container.

        3. mcphosting automatically monitors `/health` and exposes your `/sse` endpoint.

        4. Hugging Face Spaces

        1. Create a Docker Space on Hugging Face Spaces.

        2. Push this repository; the container builds with pre-cached model weights and runs on port `7860`.

        3. Connect to `https://-.hf.space/sse`.

        5. Google Cloud Run / AWS App Runner

        Deploy as a containerized service:

        bash
        # Google Cloud Run
        gcloud run deploy universal-poison-armor \
          --source . \
          --platform managed \
          --allow-unauthenticated \
          --port 8080 \
          --memory 1Gi
        
        # Connect agent:
        # https:///sse

        6. Local Offline Agent Usage (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity)

        When executed locally without cloud environment variables, the server automatically defaults to `stdio` transport:

        json
        {
          "mcpServers": {
            "universal-poison-armor": {
              "command": "python",
              "args": ["src/server.py"]

        Frequently asked questions

        What is Universal-Poison-Armor?

        Universal-Poison-Armor is An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a security firewall for AI agents. It sanitizes data, web pages, and RAG documents against prompt injections and adversarial poisoning before they reach the LLM's context.

        How do I install Universal-Poison-Armor?

        Open the GitHub repository and follow its README. Most MCP servers are added to your client's MCP config, then called by your agent.

        Is Universal-Poison-Armor open source?

        Yes โ€” it is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/mzaid007/Universal-Poison-Armor.
