PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE

Hand off a backend with more than a dashboard link

A useful handoff explains the model, access boundaries, integrations and operating limits. The next team needs to understand how to verify the app and respond to failures.

Put it into practice

  1. Document the project identity, schema ownership and environment configuration.
  2. List server integrations, webhook receivers, secret locations and expected user policies.
  3. Walk through one denied-access test and one recovery or export rehearsal.

What this looks like

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

A contractor hands over a working frontend but leaves the webhook receiver and API key in an unowned account. The handoff identifies those dependencies.

A boundary to keep clear

Keep actual secrets in the approved secret store. Handoff notes should reference ownership and location without copying credentials.

MCPBackend context

Managed hosting and a portable export solve different operational needs. Write/storage caps block writes, while the API-request cap blocks data requests including reads. The exported runtime covers compatible CRUD, auth and row policies; it does not include the hosted dashboard, MCP server, webhooks, billing, metering or managed backups.

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.
