## Security
186+
187+
### Public Information Only
188+
189+
The server provides access to:
190+
191+
- Public SpiceDB and AuthZed documentation
192+
- Publicly available API specifications
193+
- Open source schema examples
194+
195+
The server does **not** access:
196+
197+
- Your AuthZed or SpiceDB instances
198+
- Your authorization data
199+
- Your application schemas
200+
- Any private information
201+
202+
### Verify the Endpoint
203+
204+
Always confirm you're connecting to:
205+
206+
```
207+
https://mcp.authzed.com
208+
```
209+
210+
When using third-party marketplaces, verify the domain name before connecting.
211+
212+
## Troubleshooting
213+
214+
**Connection issues**: Verify the URL is `https://mcp.authzed.com` and your client supports remote HTTP MCP servers
215+
216+
**No search results**: Try broader terms, check spelling, or use `list_resources` to see available content
