How do you validate if your server is configured correctly?
Use the following checklist before exposing your MCP Server in a production environment:- Task Schema Validation: Ensure required fields (task, target, params) are enforced.
- Command Sanitization: No input injection (e.g., target = example.com; rm -rf /)
- Logging: Every task should be logged with timestamps, requester, and outcome.
- Audit Hashing: Generate SHA256 for each response (optional, but great for integrity).
- Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse with tools like Flask-Limiter or Nginx throttle.
- Permissions: Limit what the server can do, no full root/system access.
- TLS: If hosted publicly, always serve over HTTPS.
