Central to this evolution is the &lt;strong&gt;Model Context Protocol (MCP)&lt;/strong&gt;, an open standard introduced by Anthropic, which enables these agents to securely access external tools and data through dedicated &lt;strong&gt;MCP servers&lt;/strong&gt;. However, deploying these servers in a production environment introduces unique security challenges, demanding a rigorous approach to prevent vulnerabilities like &lt;strong&gt;instruction splitting&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;data exfiltration&lt;/strong&gt;. This guide provides developers with practical strategies for building and securing production-ready MCP servers, ensuring safe and reliable agentic operations.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
