A PostgreSQL MCP server can maintain availability during failover while still providing incorrect answers. This occurs because connection retries may target a replica that is lagging behind the primary. A conversation can then incorrectly combine results from before and after the failover, leading to a seemingly complete but flawed final answer. To prevent this, developers should implement consistency contracts for workflows, such as eventual consistency with a lag budget or read-your-writes, and ensure that partial results are discarded if a consistency boundary cannot be proven.
