Ask HN: How are you building a company-wide MCP strategy? We are moving beyond running local MCPs and are trying to map out a broader strategy - for internal as well as external consumption. I am curious how others are balancing business vision with technical reality. Specifically: * Commercialization & ROI: Executives view MCP servers as a new revenue stream (upselling like premium APIs). Is this realistic, or do MCPs eventually replace high-level APIs for agentic apps? How are you pricing this—fixed, or usage-based on "tool calls"? * Infrastructure & Deployment: Are you rationalizing multiple REST/GraphQL endpoints into singular "task-based" MCP endpoints, or just wrapping existing APIs 1:1? How are you managing centralized discovery and rate limits across the org? * Security & Governance: What do your "Human-in-the-loop" checkpoints look like for sensitive write actions? Are you using centralized MCP Gateways for secret management and audit logging? * Product Development: How are non-tech product owners defining requirements? Have you found or built a "template" for spec-ing an MCP server that goes beyond a basic API spec? |
