MCP in Production

Deploy MCP servers in production: scaling, monitoring, error handling, and reliability patterns.

4.6 — Production MCP Patterns

Pattern 1: Server-Per-Domain (Avoid Tool Flooding)

Server-Per-Domain Pattern
Rule of Thumb: Keep each MCP server to 5-10 tools max. Beyond 15-20 tools, model accuracy for tool selection drops significantly. If you have 50 tools across 5 domains, build 5 servers of 10 tools each — the model selects better, and you can deploy/update each domain independently.

Pattern 2: Tool Versioning
