    The MCP Server Production Checklist

    By NexaMarTech Team6 min read

    Ten things every MCP server must do before you connect it to a real AI client.

    The MCP Server Production Checklist

    You wrote an MCP server. Great. Now here is what stands between you and a stable integration.

    The list

    1. Stable serverInfo.name and semantic version
    2. Every tool has a clear description — LLMs pick by description
    3. JSON Schemas validate against real payloads
    4. OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (or clearly documented bearer)
    5. Rate limiting per client
    6. Idempotent tool calls where possible
    7. Structured error responses (JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant)
    8. Health endpoint separate from SSE
    9. Logging with correlation IDs
    10. A public tester link so integrators can self-serve

    Run each item against our MCP Tester before every release.
