Remote MCP Servers: The Hidden Blast Radius That's Killing Your AI Agents
Picture this: your AI agent, humming along on a remote MCP server, suddenly deletes your entire repo because of a sneaky prompt injection. That's not a demo fail—it's production hell. Here's the checklist to keep the chaos contained.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Remote MCP shifts from 'does it work?' to 'what's the blast radius?'—auth, tools, and loops are make-or-break.
- Demand typed params and governors; weak scopes turn happy paths into outages.
- Multi-tenancy isn't optional at scale—segment or sprawl.
