First to help customers see, govern and grow agentic commerce via MCP interactions

DataDome, the leader in AI cyberfraud protection, today announced a first-of-its-kind capability to secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server infrastructure. With a standard DataDome integration module, enterprises can now instantly gain visibility into and secure MCP interactions, enabling them to build new agentic customer experiences on a foundation of trust and security.

The Market Need: Securing MCP Servers for Trusted Agentic AI

In the wake of the meteoric user adoption of ChatGPT and similar tools, Forrester reports that 36% of U.S. consumers are interested in using AI agents to transact online.

Meanwhile, businesses see the opportunity to revolutionize e-commerce experiences for consumers. In response, enterprises are racing to deploy MCP servers, which act as the switchboard that connects users’ AI agents to business applications and data. This year alone, more than 16,000 MCP servers have been deployed across Fortune 500 companies. Yet MCP was not designed with security in mind; each deployed MCP server creates an incremental attack surface.

“Enterprises want the growth agentic AI offers, but not at the expense of unknown business risk,” said Benjamin Fabre, co-founder and CEO at DataDome. “They need fast, simple protections for this new attack surface and a way to establish trust on every agentic interaction with these MCP servers.”

How DataDome Protects MCP Servers

DataDome provides clear insights into agentic AI traffic requests and continuous protection against specific threats that may disrupt or exhaust MCP server resources. Assessing the origin, intent, and behavior of AI agents acting on behalf of consumers, DataDome helps secure agentic commerce and turn buyer-initiated, agent-mediated actions into trusted business growth.

Customers can easily integrate DataDome into their MCP server infrastructure today using a standard MCP-enabled server-side module, starting with Node.js and AWS CloudFront’s Lambda@Edge, with additional modules coming later this quarter. DataDome offers 50+ integrations for fast onboarding and time-to-value.

This protection is delivered through three core capabilities:

• Real-time visibility into agentic traffic: Instant, nuanced insight into the identity and intent of AI agents, with multi-layered detection that classifies and controls interactions precisely, without blocking legitimate users.
• Autopilot protection: Malicious agentic threats are blocked automatically at the edge before they reach MCP servers. Protection is adaptive, accurate, and continuous, ensuring operations stay secure without disruption.
• Continuous agentic AI trust relationships: By verifying identity, intent, and behavior for every interaction—human, bot, or AI agent—enterprises gain transparent decisioning, confidence, and control to enable safe, scalable agentic commerce.

“Securing MCP servers is now a business-critical requirement for safe, scalable AI growth,” said Fabre. “With DataDome, we invite our customers to innovate with agentic AI while we safeguard their infrastructure, data, and customer experiences.”
