When selecting an MCP server, it's crucial to consider not just the initial adoption but also the long-term portability and exit strategy. The real dependencies extend beyond the basic endpoint to include tool schemas, identity mappings, database configurations, semantic definitions, and policy enforcement. A thorough evaluation should involve a portability exercise, where a read-only workflow is exported, rebuilt in a new environment, and tested with various scenarios. This process helps identify undocumented steps, non-exportable policies, and vendor-specific identifiers, ultimately ensuring that your team retains ownership of the workflow. AI
