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.
