MCP Launch Checklist

Helps first-time MCP server builders avoid auth, permission, and crash pitfalls

Problem

Many developers are starting to build MCP servers for their products but worry most about security boundaries, permission control, and abuse after launch, and there's no actionable checklist in the community.

Solution

An interactive checklist that adapts to the tool types your server exposes, generating permission, input validation, rate limiting, audit logging, and token scoping items, each with minimal implementation snippets you can paste into code.

Users

Indie developers building their first MCP server, small-team backend engineers, and AI tool founders.

MVP

Guided questionnaire for tool types and deployment environment; generates a customized checklist; each item includes a minimal code example and common mistake note; export to PDF/Markdown for team sharing; no automated scanning.

Revenue

Free basic checklist; paid tier for team collaboration, audit templates, and a continuously updated security advisory library.

Why now

The MCP ecosystem is expanding fast with many newcomers and security practices still unstandardized; a static checklist is very cheap to launch and can later add scanning.
