An MCP server is unreviewed code with your file system in scope
Treat every MCP server as untrusted code that runs with the access your agent has, because that is what it is. Anthropic docs say the directory lists connectors but does not security-audit them. A registry of approved servers with nothing enforcing it is a memo. The control that binds is a managed allowlist matched by URL or command, never by name.
The consultant who fought to keep his client off AI

Your AI can not think straight when your data lives in four different ERPs

Specialists understand MCP, context windows, and why tens of thousands of tokens disappear before you even start. Here is how to spot the difference between someone who read the docs yesterday and someone who can implement.

The real challenge is finding experienced developers who understand the protocol well enough to guide implementation decisions, even now that MCP is widely adopted.
