Every tutorial makes MCP look simple:

  1. wrap a function
  2. expose a tool
  3. connect a client

But shipping something for a real product or client is usually where the boring problems appear.

If you’ve done that recently, what was the one thing that took far more work than expected?

  • tool/schema design
  • auth
  • client setup
  • UI/widgets
  • testing
  • deployment
  • debugging
  • updates after launch
  • something else

Not looking for generic “MCP is still early” takes.

What was the actual project, what broke or became painful, and how did you work around it?
