ANUPPUR, India (GizTimes) — A new research paper called Invisible Threats from Model Context Protocol: Generating Stealthy Injection Payload via Tree-based Adaptive Search says that modern AI systems can be tricked through the tools they trust. These systems often use something called Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect with external tools like APIs and databases. This helps them give better answers, but it also creates a risk.
