## Separate Credentials

Even though multiple MCP servers share the same monorepo, they **must** have separate credentials and runtimes.

- **No Shared Environments**: Each MCP server (`gitea-mcp`, `jenkins-mcp`, `ops-mcp`, etc.) must be instantiated as an independent service with its own dedicated `.env` configuration file.

- **Strict Isolation**: A server will only have access to the credentials required for its specific trust boundary. For instance, `gitea-mcp` has no access to Jenkins or Ops authentication tokens.

This document defines the strict boundaries between the different MCP server packages within the monorepo.

|

The project is named **MCP Control Plane** and lives in the `mcp-control-plane` repository. It groups the following packages: `common`, `gitea-mcp`, `jenkins-mcp`, `ops-mcp`, and `release-mcp`.

## 1. Architectural Philosophy
|
||||
- **One MCP Server per Trust Boundary**: While the packages share a monorepo, their runtime services must remain entirely separate. There is no single "everything" server.
