We'll be adding the ability to run MCP Defender through a local LLM soon, so using that approach no data will leave your computer to perform a scan.

Yes, there is a delay for MCP exchange, but I imagine that most MCP calls in the future will be done in "YOLO" mode where the user prompts a large task and an agent makes 1000's of MCP calls over hours to accomplish it. This would add some time to the overall task but IMO this is a small price to pay for added security. Also, the delay will decrease over time.
