About 3ilm-mcp
3ilm-mcp is an MCP server for AI agents, security researchers, and audit tools, organizing verified smart contract findings from Sherlock contests. It provides acceptance rates and accepted and rejected examples across 12 vulnerability patterns.
Key features
- 01Search 12 vulnerability patterns
- 02View pattern statistics and acceptance rates
- 03Browse patterns ranked by volume
- 04Review accepted and rejected examples
Use cases
- 01Compare acceptance rates for a bug class
- 02Understand Sherlock contest triage outcomes
- 03Find examples for smart contract audit research
MCP support
It exposes vulnerability search, pattern details, and pattern listing tools to MCP clients, using verified findings from Sherlock contests.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project README3ilm MCP Server
MCP server exposing 3ilm, a curated knowledge base of 1,032 smart contract vulnerability findings from 10 fully-reconciled Sherlock audit contests.
Built for AI agents, security researchers, and audit tools that need structured data on which bug classes get paid, at what rates, and why.
What it is
3ilm (Arabic: علم, "knowledge") contains:
- 1,032 verified findings from 10 Sherlock contests (fully reconciled against contest outcomes)
- 12 vulnerability pattern categories with real acceptance rates, not estimates
- Accepted and rejected examples per category, to learn what passes triage
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_vulnerabilities | Keyword search across all 12 categories. Returns matching patterns with acceptance rates and examples. |
get_pattern_details | Full stats table for one specific pattern: totals, acceptance rate, Sherlock-specific note, examples. |
list_patterns | All 12 patterns ranked by volume with 🟢🟡🔴 acceptance indicators. |

npx 3ilm-mcp
Add to Claude / Cursor
Claude Desktop (add to claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"3ilm": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "3ilm-mcp"]
}
}
}
Cursor (add to .cursor/mcp.json):

}
}
}
Example queries
Ask your AI assistant:
- "What is the acceptance rate for oracle manipulation findings on Sherlock?"
- "Show me all vulnerability patterns and their payout rates"
- "Search for reentrancy vulnerabilities: what percentage get accepted?"
- "What does a accepted flash loan finding look like vs a rejected one?"
Data source
Same underlying dataset as vulnerability-acceptance-rates.json, CC0, downloadable directly, no server required. That file is the canonical, publicly reproducible source; the numbers here are copied from it, not independently computed. Findings are reconciled against actual contest outcomes, no scraping, no estimates. See METHODOLOGY.md for the exact reconciliation method.
The 12 patterns: fee-miscalculation, dos-griefing, reentrancy, trusted-actor, overflow, staleness, rounding, access-control, oracle-manipulation, mev-slippage, liquidation, flash-loan.
How this relates to bug-bounty-intelligence-mcp
Both MCP servers read the same verified data. They differ in scope:
| 3ilm-mcp (this repo) | bug-bounty-intelligence-mcp | |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern search / acceptance rates | Free | Free (list_vulnerability_patterns) |
| Full-repo contract scan | Not offered | $5 USDC via x402 (scan_contract) |
| Cost | Always free, no paid tier | Free tools + one paid tool |
| Best for | Just want the pattern data via MCP, nothing else | Also want an actual scan of your own contracts |
If you only need to query acceptance rates, either server works identically for that. Use 3ilm-mcp if you want the smaller, free-only package; use bug-bounty-intelligence-mcp if you also want the paid full-repo scan tool.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
