PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE
Your agent is changing the wrong project
Project identity needs to be explicit before a coding agent makes backend changes. Similar project names and copied examples are not a reliable substitute for the actual project identifier.

Put it into practice
- List accessible projects and confirm the intended identifier, environment and owner.
- Inspect the existing schema and API contract for that exact project.
- State the target in the change request and verify the resulting schema there after the operation.
What this looks like
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Two projects are named recipe-app, one for experiments and one for launch. The agent needs the selected ID to avoid applying the same instruction to the wrong database.
A boundary to keep clear
Do not infer production status from a name alone. Keep environment ownership and intended deployment context in the project notes.
MCPBackend context
MCPBackend's remote MCP server manages supported project configuration through your authorized account. Your running app uses the separate data API. A successful connection does not prove every tool call succeeded: inspect tool results, verify the project identity and read the current schema before a change.
Take the next step
Inspect the current project contract, try the change with disposable data, and verify the result through the same credentials your app will use. Record the expected response and one denied-access case before release.
