Frequently Asked Questions: MCP Server Development
How is MCP server security ensured?
We implement security by design: Every tool and resource receives only the minimum necessary permissions (least privilege). Secrets are never stored in plaintext but managed through secure vault systems. All access is logged in audit logs, and PII data is handled according to GDPR requirements.
How does operations and monitoring work?
Every MCP server is delivered with full observability: OpenTelemetry integration for distributed tracing, structured logs for debugging, and metrics for performance monitoring. You receive dashboards for Grafana/Prometheus and alerting for anomalies.
How are updates and new capabilities managed?
We version all tools and resources semantically. New capabilities are deployed via CI/CD pipelines with automated contract tests. Breaking changes are communicated at least 3 months in advance, and we provide migration guides.
Cloud or on-premises – what's possible?
Both. MCP servers can run as Docker containers in your cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), on-premises in your data center, or locally in Claude Desktop. We advise on the optimal architecture based on your compliance and performance requirements.
