# What should a team review before connecting Claude to internal tools through MCP?

We’re considering connecting Claude to a few internal systems through the [Model Context Protocol](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/116790/what-is-mcp-model-context-protocol), but I’m not sure what a sensible security review should cover before anyone enables it. How do teams decide which tools Claude can call, what data those tools can expose, and whether actions should be [read-only](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/105419/what-is-the-difference-between-read-only-and-const-keyword) or allowed to make changes?

I’d also like to hear how people handle approval prompts, access logging and testing with non-production data. Practical lessons from deployments would be more useful than a generic list of security principles.
