- Make sure the MCP layer follows the same rules as your web UI and HTTP API.
- Every MCP tool should map to a permission that a human already has.
- Use an abstract base class to handle auth checks for each tool.
- Write tools should call the same action classes as your web controllers.
Here's an example of how you can implement this:
- Create an abstract class that extends the Tool class.
- Define a permission method that returns the required permission for each tool.
- Use a token holder to authenticate the MCP session as a real user with real permissions.
Some key things to remember:
- An unauthorized tool should return an error, not partial data.
- Use a contract to define the capabilities of your analytics tools.
- Make sure your write tools don't touch models directly and call the same action classes as your web controllers.
You can test the refusal path first to ensure that a user without the permission gets an error and zero data. Source: https://dev.to/nasrulhazim/building-a-permission-gated-mcp-server-in-laravel-without-opening-a-backdoor-3jk5 Optional learning community: https://t.me/GyaanSetuAi
