MCP Compliance
MCP Compliance involves ensuring that a client, server, or gateway adheres to the official protocol specifications and relevant security best practices.
Core Pillars
- Protocol Adherence: Correctly implementing JSON-RPC 2.0 and the MCP-specific lifecycle (handshake, capability negotiation).
- Data Privacy: Proper handling of sensitive information using techniques like PII masking.
- Security Standards: Implementing OAuth2 where necessary and respecting roots for filesystem access.
- Auditing: Providing detailed audit logs for all tool executions.
Compliance is mandatory for many organizations before they can connect their internal data to public AI models.
