MCP bridge
Use Model Context Protocol to expose databases, docs, tickets, and internal APIs as tools to your IDE or agent runtime, with clear auth, rate limits, and audit expectations.
Separate read vs write paths: require human confirmation or secondary tokens for writes so models cannot touch production by mistake.
Document environments (dev / staging / prod) and available tools so SKILLs can state prerequisites.
For multi-tenant or sensitive data, redact and truncate at the MCP layer; in skills, list which fields are model-visible. Cap expensive calls (large scans) with quotas and circuit breakers.
- Auth: align OAuth, service accounts, and rotation with internal security policy.
- Observability: log tool call counts and failures to catch retry storms.
- Testing: staging sandboxes and fixture data per tool.
# Config checklist
- Endpoints & credential rotation
- Tool names match SKILL copy
- Timeouts & retries
