About HomeShield MCP

HomeShield MCP is a smart home security checker by Ingenious AI. It answers one question: is your home AI server exposed to the internet?

Home AI servers increasingly sit behind public tunnels and port forwards. A misconfigured tunnel turns a small server in a living room into a public MCP endpoint that anyone can reach. HomeShield MCP probes the public URL you give it and reports three facts: whether it answers, whether it asks for authentication, and whether it looks like an MCP server.

Honest scope: the check covers public exposure of endpoints you declare, nothing more. It cannot audit your home LAN or your router from the web, and a clean report is not a clean bill of health. The local-scan guide covers the checks you run yourself.
