MCP Server Development

We build MCP servers that expose your systems as safe, well-defined tools for AI clients. Expect strict schemas, RBAC, audit logs, and deployment hardening so agents can act without dangerous access or data leakage.

Overview

What this service is

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a way to expose tools and data sources to AI clients in a structured, consistent format.

We build MCP servers that wrap your internal APIs, databases, and services with strict schemas, permission checks, and audit logs.

Delivery includes deployment hardening and handoff notes so the tool surface stays safe as it grows.

Standard

AI delivery standard

Quality and safety practices we ship with AI builds so the system stays measurable, maintainable, and production-ready.

Logging + tracing

Conversation and tool traces with request IDs, error visibility, and debug-friendly runbooks.

Guardrails + safety

Tool allowlists, PII-safe patterns, refusal behavior, and escalation routes for edge cases.

Evals + regression tests

Golden queries, scorecards, and regression checks so quality improves over time instead of drifting.

Cost + latency controls

Caching, prompt discipline, retrieval tuning, and routing so your app stays fast and predictable at scale.

Documentation + handoff

Architecture notes, environment setup, and next-step roadmap so your team can iterate safely after launch.

Security-first integration

Secrets isolation, role-based access, audit-friendly actions, and minimal data retention by design.

Benefits

What you get

Expose tools safely for agent workflows

Reduce one-off integrations with standard interfaces

Keep permissions consistent via RBAC and policies

Improve auditability with logs and traceability

Ship tools faster with reusable schemas

Reduce risk of unsafe actions and leakage

Features

What we deliver

Tool schema design

Define tool contracts with stable schemas, validation, and versioning so clients can rely on predictable behavior.

RBAC and permission checks

Role-aware access controls so tool actions and data reads follow your existing security model.

Safe execution + validation

Parameter validation, allowlists, and approval patterns for sensitive actions.

Audit logs + tracing

Traceable tool usage with logs for debugging, compliance, and incident response.

Secrets and environment isolation

Safe secrets management and environment separation so tools don’t leak credentials or cross boundaries.

Deployment hardening

Rate limits, network controls, monitoring, and rollout discipline for production MCP deployments.

Use Cases

Who this is for

Internal tools as agent actions

Expose business APIs as safe tools for AI agents with permission enforcement and audit trails.

Ops automation tool surface

Wrap operational workflows (refunds, updates, approvals) as constrained tools with validation and approvals.

Data access with safety boundaries

Expose read-only or filtered queries to AI clients while preventing leakage across roles or tenants.

Multi-tool orchestration

Provide a clean tool catalog for AI workflow orchestration across systems.

Enterprise rollout readiness

Add governance, logs, and deployment controls for scalable adoption across teams.

AI Case Examples

Micro case studies (anonymous)

A few safe examples of outcomes we build for real operations—no client names, just results.

Secure Mobile Solution in Australian Defence Ecosystem

Problem: Secure data workflows were required in a regulated environment with strict access controls.

Solution: Hardened architecture with strict auth, encrypted storage, and audit-friendly engineering patterns.

Outcome: Deployed securely within a regulated ecosystem with clear handoff and operational guidance.

AI Knowledge Base Across 2,000+ Pages

Problem: Teams needed fast answers across long PDFs, but search was slow and results were inconsistent.

Solution: RAG with hybrid retrieval and reranking, plus grounded answers and safer fallback behavior.

Outcome: Reliable answers with <10s response times and measurable improvements on real queries.

Ops Automation with AI + n8n

Problem: Manual approvals and CRM syncing created delays and data inconsistencies across tools.

Solution: Event-driven automation with validation gates and AI-assisted classification where it improved routing.

Outcome: Reduced manual workload significantly with more reliable workflows and operator visibility.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

APIs are great, but MCP provides a structured tool interface designed for AI clients. We often wrap APIs into MCP tools with better schemas, permissions, and observability.

Yes. Many MCP deployments start read-only, then expand to controlled actions with approvals as confidence grows.

We use allowlists, strict validation, RBAC, approvals, and audit logs—plus eval tests for common failure cases.

Yes. We implement rate limits, secrets isolation, network controls, and monitoring for production posture.

Yes. We deliver tool catalogs, schemas, and runbooks for safe maintenance and extension.

Start with the highest-value read actions (search, lookups) and one controlled write action with approvals.
