What’s the hardest part about building your MCP-Server?

We did our first launch of MCP-Builder.ai (a platform to build hosted MCP-Servers) a few months ago and since then learned so much from talking to users, getting our first paying customers and also listening to the ones we didn t close.

One thing became very clear from all those learnings:

Coding an MCP-Server is not the hardest part anymore. It s what comes afterwards.

Hosting it, keeping it versioned, making sure it stays online, debugging, monitoring what actually happens and adding proper security. Especially in bigger companies and enterprise setups, a basic MCP-Server is often not enough. Security, authentication, observability and securely connecting internal systems quickly become just as important as the MCP-Server itself.
