Recommended implementation sequence

Start with a narrow use case, define the exact data the agent may access, and choose a transport that fits the user environment.

For desktop-only workflows, stdio is usually enough. For shared teams, remote SSE or streamable HTTP endpoints are easier to monitor and govern.

Before production, add request validation, secret isolation, structured logs, and a rollback path for each deployed MCP server.
