Practical MCP Server Architecture Guide: 5 Design Patterns
TheTuringPost · x · 2026-07-05
TuringPost recommends what is considered one of the most practical MCP papers for building MCP servers. The paper points out that tool selection accuracy drops below 90% when the number of tools exceeds 10–30, and suggests treating MCP servers as a software architecture problem. The researchers identified five emerging architectural patterns: Resource Gateway (exposing existing data sources via MCP), Tool Orchestrator (coordinating multiple tools behind a simpler interface), Stateful Session Server (maintaining session/workflow state across requests), and more.
