Securing MCP: How to Build Trustworthy Agent Integrations
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the backbone of how AI agents interact with the outside world. It gives agents a standardized way to discover tools, trigger actions, and pull data. MCP dramatically simplifies integration work. In short, MCP servers act as the adapter that grants access to services, manages credentials and permissions, and..…
