Could you build this?
Partial A web dashboard, REST API, and GitHub Actions runner are straightforward to vibe-code, but developing robust security scanners for Model Context Protocol attack vectors requires specialized application security research.
What it would actually take: The architecture comprises a Next.js/Go web service, a CI/CD CLI tool, and a rule-based/dynamic analysis engine that validates MCP server configurations, tool manifests, and JSON-RPC endpoints. The hard part is cataloging and detecting emerging MCP-specific vulnerabilities, such as indirect prompt injections, tool parameter escalation, and SSRF via LLM tool execution. Requires specialized LLM application security expertise and vulnerability research.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
