MCP server review assesses JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance, transport patterns (stdio, HTTP/SSE), capability advertisement, and consent workflows against the official implementation checklist and protocol patterns. Load the MCP references and spec, then validate error handling, input/output validation, credential usage, and logging against production standards.

Security validation covers secure credential usage, input/output validation, error handling practices, and consent workflows. Review transport layer choices, capability advertisement accuracy, and logging to prevent exposure of sensitive data in production deployments.

Yes. Architecture validation cross-checks your design against the latest MCP spec, transport patterns, and production best practices. It covers versioning enforcement, health checks, performance considerations, and scalability requirements to confirm production readiness.

Synthesize patterns and best practices from official MCP references—implementation checklist, protocol patterns, and common pitfalls—to plan features, resources, and prompts. This ensures your design aligns with JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance and proven architectural patterns.

MCP supports stdio and HTTP/SSE transports. Review transport patterns from official references to understand capability advertisement, error handling, and logging implications for each. Choose based on your deployment model and scalability requirements.

Common pitfalls include improper error handling, weak input validation, insecure credential storage, missing health checks, and inadequate logging. The common-pitfalls reference documents these issues with production-readiness implications and prevention strategies.
