# Starting a remote server read-only: Best Remote MCP Servers

**Answer in brief:** Start with the narrowest access a server offers, and widen it once the agent has behaved.


## Read-only addresses

Linear offers a second address, `https://mcp.linear.app/mcp/readonly`, that can only read.[1]

## Scoped projects

Supabase lets you scope its server to one project and turn on read-only mode, and it warns that connecting a model to your projects carries security risks.[2]

## Revoke where you granted

A remote connection ends where it was approved: in the maker's settings or in your client. Note both places before you connect.
