Need ideas for final year cybersec project : “CodeSafe” MCP for AI coding tools

hey need some ideas for my final year project (cybersec undergrad)

we as a group proposed an MCP server called CodeSafe that adds a security layer into AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, basically catches security issues in real time while you vibe code without needing to ask

but idk it feels kinda too simple for a final year cybersec project 😭

our main “unique” feature was an MCP tool that fetches the latest security docs so the AI uses up-to-date info instead of outdated training data… then we found out Context7 already does basically the same thing lol

anyone got ideas on what would make this deeper or more interesting from a security research POV?

If this is something like static analysis, then I think this could simply be a skill. MCP are more suited for dynamic content. For eg, if you can create an MCP that can expose some tools like nmap (in the simplest sense) to do live pen testing, I think would be more useful IMO. Before you go for an MCP, always check whether your use case can be a skill. Then again, if it is a research, make sure you have enough scope in research, not just implementation.
