Running an MCP server
Most reference servers run with a single command (npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /path or a uvx/docker equivalent) and are wired into your client's MCP config (Claude Code/Desktop, IDEs, agent frameworks). Since the 2026 stateless revision you can also run them behind a standard load balancer — see Ep. 1 of the podcast.
⚠️ Ops note: an MCP server is an access grant. Scope filesystem roots, DB credentials and API tokens to exactly what the agent needs — treat every server like an IAM policy, not a convenience.
