MCP gives agents a standard interface. It doesn't give them security by default.
MCP standardizes how an agent talks to a tool. It says nothing about who's allowed to call what, what gets logged, or what happens when an agent asks for something it shouldn't have. Vendors selling "MCP integration" rarely address any of that.
Who this is for
Security and compliance reviewers evaluating an MCP-based AI integration who need to know what's actually enforced — not just what protocol it technically supports.
What you get
An MCP integration with scoped permissions per tool, call-level audit logging, and policy enforcement — reviewed the way your security team actually reviews a system, not glossed over as "it's just an API."
Why this is real, not a pitch deck
Scoped by design
Every MCP integration Tioga builds allow-lists exactly which tools an agent can call — an agent that can read invoices doesn't automatically get write access to your GL.
Every MCP integration on this site is real
See the MCP page for the actual pattern — before/after comparisons and live tool-calling, not a diagram.
Built by an operator, not just a security vendor
Sukir's background managing real ERP/CRM/HR systems means the permission boundaries are scoped around how these systems actually get misused, not a generic checklist.
No "trust the vendor" black box
Call-level audit logging — input, output, and which policy check ran — is the standard every integration is built around, not an optional add-on you have to ask for.
Engagements
Every engagement starts with a 5-day Discovery Sprint ($5,000 flat, prototype included) that scopes the work before any larger commitment — credited toward the price below if you move forward.

Questions
Is MCP itself secure?+
MCP is a protocol for how an agent talks to a tool — it doesn't define authentication, authorization, or audit logging for you. Those have to be built around it, which is exactly what this engagement scopes.
What does "scoped permissions" mean in practice?+
Each tool an agent can call is explicitly allow-listed with its own permission boundary — an agent that can read invoices doesn't automatically get write access to your GL, for example.
Do you log every tool call?+
Yes — call-level audit logging with input and output is the standard Tioga builds every MCP integration around, not an optional add-on.
We already have an MCP integration built by another vendor — can you review it?+
Yes, a security review of an existing MCP integration is a fit for the Discovery Sprint, scoped to audit rather than build.
