7/10 High

MCP's Docker-packaged server model doesn't align with serverless architectures used by 95% of Fortune 500 companies. Cold start delays (up to 5 seconds), missing infrastructure templates, logging mismatches, and testing difficulties increase maintenance overhead and costs.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with MCP for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

Over 95% of Fortune 500 companies are embedded in the Azure ecosystem that relies on serverless architectures. These infrastructures are poorly suited to MCP implementations... Cold start delays of up to 5 seconds made the system too slow for any time-sensitive workflows.
