What do you use to host your public MCP server? We use Kong and they have lots of security plug-ins to choose from. For example https://developer.konghq.com/plugins/bot-detection/

Cloudflare Workers — the whole thing is a single stateless worker in front of a vector index, so I get TLS, DDoS filtering and bot scoring at the edge without running any infra myself. The tradeoff is you're limited to what the platform exposes; something like a gateway with pluggable security policies would matter more once there are write-capable tools involved. Mine is read-only search, which keeps the attack surface pretty boring — probably why my logs are mostly scanners looking for a WordPress that doesn't exist. Thanks for the Kong pointer, will take a look.
It's always a trade-off between serverless and how much customization we want. The Kong plug-in is easy to customize for us.
