A clean order for MCP decisions
Do not start with a server catalog. Start with one workflow, prove the value, then widen the tool surface only after identity, scope, approval, and logging are clear.

Which approved server exposes the smallest useful tool set?
- Policy
Which identity, scopes, approvals, and logs control the workflow?
- Pilot
What will prove value before broader access is enabled?
