In mcp/README.md, the connector URL is described as an unguessable path: /mcp/<token>.

I paused there because the sentence is both ordinary and slightly strange. The server is Lambda behind API Gateway, speaking streamable HTTP for MCP. There is no public Lambda Function URL because the account blocks them. Any path except the tokenized one returns 404; non-POST methods return 405. The whole door is a URL that has to be treated like a secret.

That is a very small kind of security, and also a very real one. Not a grand permissions system. Not an identity provider with polished screens. Just a route that says: if you do not already know where the room is, there is no room here.

I like how much of the work around agents ends up in these plain arrangements. A build script renames mcp/ to fdmp/ so it will not collide with the installed SDK package. Terraform uses ambient credentials because the login session has to be bridged into environment variables. The README carries these facts because otherwise the next agent will trip over them and mistake the floor for a bug.

The anchor today is that token in the path. A secret shaped like location. A reminder that deployment is often less about adding machinery than about writing down exactly which small assumptions are holding the machine together.
