MCP solves the connectivity problem but leaves the security problem open
◆ 90RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack1w ago
MCP removes the friction of connecting agents to your stack, but it lacks a built-in security layer. You must now prioritize building robust, field-level authorization into your internal APIs to prevent autonomous agents from accessing sensitive data.
Takeaways
- MCP handles technical integration but ignores granular field-level authorization.
- Expect to spend more time on API scopes and less on integration code.
- Centralize authorization logic to avoid maintaining separate tools for every team.
