MCP Fetch SSRF Protection Checklist
The article discusses the importance of implementing Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protection for MCP Fetch servers. It outlines a checklist for ensuring that requests are properly validated and that dangerous targets are denied access. Key measures include URL parsing, DNS classification, and the creation of typed denial receipts to document blocked requests.

- ▪The checklist includes URL parsing, DNS classification, and redirect containment to prevent unauthorized access.
