01
Async agent-to-agent messaging over MCP primitives
02
TDD applied to MCP servers: tools are testable functions

Flows built on this research

MCP & Tooling

Testing MCP Tools

Bring TDD discipline to MCP servers: unit-test handlers, protocol-test the surface, and contract-test against a real host.

MCP & Tooling

Tool Permissioning Tiers

Classify tools by risk and enforce tiered permissions: auto-allow, session-allow, always-ask, and never - enforced in the harness.

Production MCP server deployment with health probes

containers:
- name: mcp-server
  image: "{{ .Values.image.repository }}:{{ .Values.image.tag }}"
  ports:
  - containerPort: 3113
    name: http
  resources:
    limits: { cpu: 500m, memory: 512Mi }
    requests: { cpu: 100m, memory: 256Mi }

livenessProbe:
  httpGet: { path: /health, port: 3113 }
  initialDelaySeconds: 10
  periodSeconds: 30
readinessProbe:
  httpGet: { path: /health, port: 3113 }
  initialDelaySeconds: 5
  periodSeconds: 10

MCP servers as first-class services: a Helm chart treating an agent-communication server like any production workload, with liveness/readiness probes and resource budgets.
