"Far be it from me to accuse Anthropic of this. When they designed MCP, the idea was to quickly and easily extend chat interfaces with tool functionality (and a whole bunch of other stuff that folks ignore in the protocol!). For that context, it’s actually a good fit for the job (bar some caveats that can easily be fixed).

No, the dünnbrettbohrer of the MCP world are the implementers of the MCP servers themselves. Right now, it’s the peak of the hype cycle of inflated expectations, meaning a lot of people are selling low-code, or no-code, dressed up as MCP — but it’s still the same old shenanigans under the hood.

What I would like to achieve today is to give you simple guidance on when, how, and where to use MCP without shooting yourself in the foot (such as with Github’s latest MCP server disaster, an exploit that left private repository data vulnerable to attackers)."

Dark Sky is gone. NOAA continues to be cut. And yet, one guy rebuilt a weather API used by 40K+ devs & 80M+ requests/month — in his spare time.

This is a story about resilience, infrastructure, and kindness as punk rock.

🔧 Ah, the art of teaching robots to dial your #APIs 📞, complete with "real" code and diagrams! 🤖 Apparently, by 2025, we still need a step-by-step guide to teach our LLMs how to read a phonebook and make a call. 🚀 Because, you know, #AI can do everything... except understand your inventory.

This is where I'm too smart.

I'm not kidding, you know?

I am too smart for all of the commercial corporate interests and that whole oppression via agency or by augmented means against true software developers.

We pinpointed this problem about lack of access to #APIs years ago.

They accused us of not knowing what we were talking about and of being "out of touch" with the needs of clients by saying in so many words that we were daydreaming about new possibilities.

Today I just feel bitter.
