MCP Server Handbook Editorial policy

Editorial Policy

This site prioritizes build documentation, protocol specification references, and practical implementation patterns. Claims about what works in production are supported by documented use cases or reproducible examples.

Tool and SDK references are chosen based on their relevance to the builder's decision at hand, not on any partnership or sponsorship arrangement. Where a commercial product is referenced, the relationship is disclosed on the same page.

The editorial bar for each page is a single question: does this help a team ship a better MCP server than they would without it? If the guidance is not actionable, it does not belong here.

Sponsored content carries a clear, visible disclosure label. The editorial team retains full control over whether the content meets the site's quality bar before any sponsored placement goes live.
