Hi everyone, in this article, I’ll talk about one of my recent assessments which invoked an MCP component.
The server is still in production, therefore, I’ll not be showcasing screenshots. I’ve also modified the name of some core features as this is a well known company globally.
Let’s first start with an overview. The web application, which was sort of a CMS for hedge funds, allows administrator users to access some features of the web application through an MCP server. All they had to do is configure an AI client, such as Claude Desktop, with the MCP endpoint such as https://llm.example.com/mcp
Provided that the MCP endpoint was configured, we would be redirected to the https://oauth.example.com/ endpoint to authenticate ourselves. We would then pass our credentials.
Following successful authentication, we could see the list of tools exposed by the MCP endpoint on our AI client (Claude Desktop).
We could then use it to interact with the website and fetch our data.
