Vibe Coding Security Checklist: 15 Things to Check Before Real Users Touch Your App (2026)
Is your vibe-coded app secure? Probably not yet. The 15-point vibe coding security checklist we run on AI-built apps — exposed API keys, missing Supabase RLS, broken authorisation, unlimited AI spend — with the one 5-minute test that finds the worst problem.

Remote MCP Servers: Deploying, Hosting, and Scaling Them After the Stateless Shift
Local MCP servers were fine when one developer used them. The moment a team — or your customers — need access, you’re deploying a remote server. Hosting options, auth requirements, and why the stateless spec just made this dramatically cheaper.

MCP vs API: What’s Actually Different, and Why You’ll End Up With Both
MCP doesn’t replace your APIs — it sits on top of them and solves a different problem: letting an AI model discover and use your systems without custom integration code. The real differences, the false dichotomy, and a decision rule for when each applies.

Securing MCP in Production: OAuth, Agent Identity, and What a 2026 Security Review Actually Covers
MCP auth has hardened fast — resource indicators, issuer validation, CIMD instead of dynamic registration. But the gaps that hurt companies in production are mostly not in the protocol. What a real MCP security review covers in 2026, layer by layer.

How to Build an MCP Server in 2026: From First Tool to Production
Most MCP server tutorials stop at “hello world” — and most were written before the protocol went stateless. The build sequence we use for client work: scoping the tools, choosing the SDK, auth, testing against a real client, and shipping something production actually accepts.

2,000 MCP Servers and Counting: How to Choose, Vet, and Connect Them Without Getting Burned
The MCP Registry now lists nearly 2,000 servers, the protocol lives under the Linux Foundation, and MCP Apps put interactive interfaces inside the chat. A practical guide to picking connectors you can trust — and knowing when to build your own instead.
