Security best practices:

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a newly introduced open protocol and may be susceptible to security issues or vulnerabilities. Follow your organization’s security policies and review configurations carefully.

Your MCP client configuration contains sensitive secrets (API keys). Treat the configuration file as a secret:

  • Do not commit it to source control (Git)

  • Do not share screenshots that include keys

  • Restrict file access permissions on your machine

  • Rotate keys immediately if you suspect exposure

  • Use dedicated, least-privilege keys for MCP only
