MCP Security
MCP server security checklist for production agents
MCP is powerful because it grants tools to agents. That also means every server should be reviewed for permissions, data access, secret exposure, and failure modes before production use.
Permission scope
List exactly what the server can read, write, execute, or send over the network. Default to read-only when the workflow allows it.
Secrets handling
Never print tokens, keys, or connection strings into agent logs. Use platform secret stores and verify behavior without exposing values.
Operational evidence
Before production, run the workflow with test data, capture tool outputs, and document rollback steps for write-capable actions.
