Questions this page should answer fast
- What workflow gap does a given MCP server actually close?
- How do you compare context servers, action servers, and convenience servers?
- When is a server worth the trust and maintenance overhead?
What to verify next
- Can the same workflow be solved with normal prompts or built-in tools first?
- Does the server add a meaningful capability or just a fashionable extra layer?
- Have you documented what should happen if that server becomes unavailable?
Common mistakes
- Collecting servers because examples look interesting instead of because a workflow needs them.
- Treating all servers as equally trusted.
- Adding more capability without documenting failure expectations.
