VerifiedMCP only addresses the standardization of connectivity and invocation, and is not responsible for security; responsibilities such as authentication and authorization, approval of dangerous operations, and verification of service trustworthiness must be handled by the application layer.75% similarUnverifiedAmong MCP servers that do have authentication, the majority use only static API keys, with only a very small proportion adopting the formal OAuth scheme.73% similarUnverifiedMCP is permission-based, and software companies only expose the features they are willing to open up, meaning commercially sensitive or core monetization features will almost never be included.72% similarUnverifiedUnder the old MCP specification, GitHub MCP and many distributed MCP servers could not support elicitation, because it requires cross-server communication to coordinate state and sessions.72% similarUnverifiedCredential management adopts separation of duties: clients authenticate to the MCP server via OAuth applications, tools authenticate to backends via downstream credentials, and AI clients never see backend keys.71% similar
