MCP itself is &#8220;an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems,&#8221; giving agents access to tools and data sources rather than hardcoding integrations per client (<a href=\"https:\/\/modelcontextprotocol.io\/docs\/getting-started\/intro\">Model Context Protocol docs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>For game publishing, Playgama MCP (<a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/mcp\/\">playgama.com\/mcp<\/a>) connects developer tools via Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1, leaving moderation, deleting, and payouts strictly to a human.<\/p>\n<p>Concretely: verify the URL you&#8217;re pasting into your AI client matches the vendor&#8217;s documented endpoint, not a copy from a third-party marketplace. When the client shows an OAuth consent page, read it &#8211; it should name your account, the connecting agent, and where it will send you back; anything asking for your cabinet password directly, on a domain that isn&#8217;t the vendor&#8217;s own, is not legitimate. Prefer setups where read-only tools are separated from write actions, and where the most destructive operations (deleting assets, rolling back builds, submitting to moderation, anything touching payouts) are deliberately kept out of the agent&#8217;s reach and left for a human to click. Check that access tokens expire on a schedule and that idle connections lapse rather than staying valid forever, and look for a page in the vendor&#8217;s dashboard that lists every connected agent with a way to revoke each one independently.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/modelcontextprotocol.io\/docs\/getting-started\/intro\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
