MCP Servers

Anatomy

What it contains

  • A local stdio command or remote server URL
  • A tool and resource surface exposed to the agent
  • Credential, environment, and network configuration

Lifecycle

How it works

  1. The client starts or connects to the server
  2. The server advertises tools and resources
  3. The agent calls a selected tool
  4. The server returns structured results

Audit lens

What Bear Brown would check

  • Credentials remain outside prompts and source files
  • Egress destinations and write capabilities are clear
  • Tool schemas constrain dangerous parameters
