+
+## Authentication
+
+The Aiven MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) for
+authentication. The first time you use the server, your browser opens so you can sign in
+to Aiven and select your organization. The server refreshes tokens automatically.
+
+## Security and responsibility
+
+:::warning
+MCP tools can perform destructive operations on your Aiven services, including
+creating, modifying, and deleting services, databases, topics, and data. AI agents can
+run operations from natural language prompts that are easy to misinterpret. Using the
+Aiven MCP server can result in damage to or loss of data. Whether to enable MCP access
+is your organization's decision. Evaluate the risks before you grant AI agents access
+to your resources.
+:::
+
+Under the [shared responsibility model](https://aiven.io/responsibility-matrix),
+security and compliance for MCP usage are shared between Aiven and your organization.
+Aiven secures the platform and API. You are responsible for the following:
+
+- **Deciding whether to enable MCP** in your organization and evaluating the
+  associated risks.
+- **Controlling access** by scoping API tokens to the minimum permissions needed
+  (principle of least privilege) and rotating them regularly.
+- **Reviewing AI agent actions** before they run, especially for write or delete
+  operations on production resources.
+- **Configuring MCP servers securely**, including choosing
+  [read-only mode](/docs/tools/mcp#read-only-mode) where appropriate to
+  restrict the server to non-destructive operations.
+
+## Supported tools
+
+### Service management
+
+Create, update, and delete Aiven services across all supported service types.
+Browse available plans and pricing, view service metrics and logs, and manage
+service configurations and cloud regions.
+
+### PostgreSQL®
+
+Create and manage PostgreSQL databases, execute read and write SQL queries,
+and manage PgBouncer connection pools. Get AI-powered query optimization
+recommendations, view query performance statistics, and list available extensions.
+
+### Apache Kafka®
+
+Create and manage Kafka topics, produce and consume messages, and configure
+Kafka Connect connectors. Browse Schema Registry subjects and manage
+connector lifecycle operations including pause, resume, and restart.
+
+## Read-only mode
+
+To restrict the server to read-only operations, set the `AIVEN_READ_ONLY`
+environment variable to `true` in your MCP client configuration:
+
+<!-- vale off -->
+<CodeBlock language="json">{JSON.stringify({mcpServers: {aiven: {type: "http", url: mcpUrl, env: {AIVEN_READ_ONLY: "true"}}}}, null, 2)}</CodeBlock>
+<!-- vale on -->
+
+In read-only mode, the server only allows operations that read data, such as
+listing services, viewing metrics, and running SELECT queries. The server blocks
+write operations, such as creating services or modifying data.
