MCP server development

Give AI tools governed access to your systems through one standard interface, instead of a separate custom integration for every assistant you adopt.

What is an MCP server?

An MCP server exposes your data and actions to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard. Instead of building a bespoke integration for every AI tool you adopt, you build one server and any MCP-compatible assistant can use it, within permissions you define.

One interface instead of N integrations

Every AI tool a company adopts wants access to the same things: the CRM, the document store, the ticketing system, the database. Built ad hoc, that becomes a tangle of one-off integrations with inconsistent permissions and no audit trail — and it has to be redone when you switch assistants.

MCP standardises the interface. You define once what can be read, what can be acted on, and by whom. New assistants connect to the same server. Access is governed in one place rather than scattered across vendor configurations.

Process flow for MCP server development
  1. 01

    Inventory the systems

    What data and actions should AI tools reach, and what must stay closed.

  2. 02

    Design the surface

    Define tools, resources and prompts with least-privilege defaults.

  3. 03

    Build the server

    Implement against your systems, with authentication and rate limits.

  4. 04

    Secure and audit

    Permission mapping, logging of every call, and abuse protection.

  5. 05

    Connect clients

    Wire up your assistants and document how future ones connect.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • A running MCP server with documented tools and resources
  • Authentication, permission mapping and rate limiting
  • Full audit logging of every access and action
  • Client configuration for your current AI tools
  • Developer documentation for extending the server

Engagement shape

Four to eight weeks depending on how many systems are exposed. We usually start with two systems and extend once the pattern is proven.

Tooling

What we typically build with

  • Model Context Protocol
  • Python
  • Node.js
  • OAuth 2.0
  • PostgreSQL
  • REST and GraphQL adapters
  • Docker

Stack decisions follow the problem. This is where we usually start, not a fixed menu.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about this

Is MCP stable enough to build on?

It is an open standard with growing adoption across major AI tools, which is precisely why it is worth building against rather than another vendor-specific connector. That said, it is young — we build the server so the underlying integration layer is separable, meaning a protocol change costs an adapter rewrite rather than a rebuild.

Can we limit what AI tools are allowed to do?

That is the main reason to use MCP rather than direct API keys. Every tool is explicitly declared, permissions are least-privilege by default, destructive actions can require confirmation, and every call is logged against an identity.

Talk it through before you commit

A discovery call is a working session on your constraint, not a sales pitch.
