The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is increasingly used for connecting AI agents with third-party applications, but its implementation presents several challenges. Many MCP servers were expedited to market due to external pressures, leading to vague tool descriptions and improper tool calls by AI agents, potentially exposing sensitive information and degrading performance. Additionally, poor maintenance as companies prioritize marketing over functionality can lead to ineffective and risky servers, with issues such as incorrect schema definitions causing operational errors. Security risks are significant, including the potential for malicious actors to exploit AI agents into exposing sensitive data and the emergence of fraudulent MCP servers designed to steal credentials. Extensive testing is crucial to ensure MCP servers meet performance requirements, though it is complex and resource-intensive. Merge is developing a platform to facilitate the integration and management of AI agents with MCP servers, aiming to streamline these processes and mitigate associated risks.
