MCP is mind-blowing. Here is a genius setup that will earn you a promotion with your manager. I have multiple data sources: data in S3, MySQL, and local files. Using Spice (an open-source project), I can co-locate all of that data behind a single SQL endpoint and augment it... using MCP. Before, accessing data was slow, and I had to make multiple requests to get anything. After using Spice, I can query the data much faster (since it's mirrored locally), and I don't have to worry about where the data is coming from. Spice acts as an MCP server, so I can connect to it from my IDE or the Claude Desktop app and have access to all the data. But even more cool than that: Spice also acts as an MCP client, so it can connect to other MCP servers. This is where things get really interesting! Watch the video. I'm querying multiple data sources from my IDE and using the Google Maps MCP server for driving directions.show more

That looks pretty cool. How do you handle the auth to the data sources? Also curious - with your reach in the MCP space, any thoughts on pushing for richer UIs in MCP clients? The text-only experience feels limiting compared to what's possible with even basic HTML/images.

Markus Odenthal1 year ago

Awesome finding! My use case would be querying Slack and Confluence. Last week: I run into Kubernetes deployment issues. I solved it by checking Slack history, Confluence pages and ask colleages. Really painful process. This tool could help 🧐

I believe MCP like solutions will change everything in time

Meer Shah1 year ago

Brilliant example! I've been sleeping on MCPs thus far but time to wake up This abstracts away the programming layer, you don't see the SQL How do you trust the data to be accurate?

Caique1 year ago

Actually it has nothing related to MCP, you could easily do it with a python script. MCP is just a communication protocol. What happens on software it exposes that matters. This is the reason the protocol is not useful at all. There are tools that already translate your OpenAPI to this new unuseful protocol.

One SQL endpoint for everything? MCP + Spice just became my new favorite duo.

This is inane. MCPs are the next banger for AI. The usecase s for LLMs just got astronomical.

mike not impossible1 year ago

Very cool, thanks for sharing! It wasn't obvious to me why having the Spice MCP use the tool vs. having the the client use the tool is better?

Jazzy Script1 year ago

Seems efficient; helps streamline data access.

Co-locating data via Spice? Smart. Next: audit workflows, track latency. Modular wins—APIs > patchwork. ROI climbs when data flows, not fights. Seen this pattern scale.

And now do it in a critical business scenario at scale and in production in a non-verifiable domain. What’s the rate of syntactically invalid SQL queries and what’s the rate of syntactically valid but semantically wrong SQL queries? What’s the rate of verifiable reproducibility for a specific resultset given a series of identical queries? I am curios … #AI #MCP

Unfortunately from someone who built and hacked DBs for a long time, this is not the groundbreaking as it looks, you can do most of these things with a simple SQL query...

Radoslav Stefanov1 year ago

You can achieve the same results with some bash magic and clever local caching. If not better/faster. With less dependencies. So where is the mind blowing part? 🤔

Shiv J.1 year ago

Do you think MCP is only useful in a dev environment? Most MCP examples I’ve seen are through Cursor or IDEs. have also read a lot of your posts but trying to get an intuitive sense of why MCP is better than function calling. Are there resources you read that made it click?

$Google open-sourced MCP Toolbox for Databases. I gave it access to everything else. For context, Google's MCP Toolbox for Databases is an open-source server that lets AI agents securely query structured databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL through the MCP protocol However, most enterprise knowledge doesn't actually live in databases. It's scattered across emails, Slack threads, GitHub repos, Salesforce records, customer reviews, and internal docs. So Agents can't see any of it, which means they're working with a fraction of the context they need. I fixed that using MindsDB. It acts as a universal SQL layer that sits on top of all your data sources: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. This means you can query Salesforce, Gmail, GitHub, S3 files, Jira, and 200+ more sources using SQL syntax. The clever part is how it connects to the MCP Toolbox. MindsDB exposes everything through MySQL, so from the Agent's perspective, it's just running SQL and getting context back. It doesn't know or care that the data came from five different sources behind the scenes. This setup unlocks some powerful capabilities: → One SQL interface for dozens of enterprise sources → Cross-datasource joins (combine GitHub and CRM data in a single query) → Built-in ML capabilities for working with unstructured data → Simple MCP tools that now have massively expanded reach In the video below, the Agent queries GitHub data and a customer review database in one SQL query. So what used to require ETL pipelines and weeks of engineering effort now happens instantly. At the end of the day, AI agents are only as useful as the data they can access. This gives them a lot more to work with. I have shared the GitHub repo in the replies, where you can find more details about this.$

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on. MCP, developed by Anthropic, is based on a client-server architecture that defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client that runs locally or an independent process running remotely. In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core architecture behind MCP. You’ll create an MCP-compatible chatbot, build and deploy an MCP server, and connect the chatbot to your MCP server and other open-source servers. Here’s what you’ll do: - Understand why MCP makes AI development less fragmented and standardizes connections between AI applications and external data sources - Learn the core components of the client-server architecture of MCP and the underlying communication mechanism - Build a chatbot with custom tools for searching academic papers, and transform it into an MCP-compatible application - Build a local MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates using FastMCP, and test it using MCP Inspector - Create an MCP client inside your chatbot to dynamically connect to your server - Connect your chatbot to reference servers built by Anthropic’s MCP team, such as filesystem, which implements filesystem operations, and fetch, which extracts contents from the web as markdown - Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your server and others, and explore how it abstracts away the low-level logic of MCP clients - Deploy your MCP server remotely and test it with the Inspector or other MCP-compatible applications - Learn about the roadmap for future MCP development, such as multi-agent architecture, MCP registry API, server discovery, authorization, and authentication MCP is an exciting and important technology that lets you build rich-context AI applications that connect to a growing ecosystem of MCP servers, with minimal integration work.

Today we're launching Amplitude MCP MCP was made for data analytics. Ask a vague question and have an AI model iteratively query Amplitude to find you insights. Amplitude MCP exposes all of Amplitude's functionality so an agent can interact with it directly. It allows you to use Amplitude without having to know anything about Amplitude's user interface or your data taxonomy. It uses the intelligence of off the shelf AI agents, including Claude, Gemini, and Cursor, to query Amplitude data you already have to find answers. It leverages all of your existing Amplitude data and how it's used to navigate through large complex behavioral datasets. You can have conversations about your product data directly inside any AI model with MCP. It can create Amplitude dashboards and notebooks with what it finds and even make recommendations. This is the best MCP use case I've ever seen. Watching an AI agent think, reason, query Amplitude, and then repeat that process iteratively is magical. See it in action:

I'm still picking my jaw off the floor with this MCP update: Postman will now automatically build an MCP server for an API. Automatically! You select your API and the requests you want to include, and Potman will generate a Zip file with everything you need. In collaboration with Postman, I recorded a video showing how I generated an MCP server for the Google Maps API. It's glorious! Also, and before I forget: You can now test any MCP server with your Postman application. They built MCP right in, so now you can: • Connect to an MCP server • List out all of the available tools • Test any of the tools This is a 10x boost for the MCP ecosystem. If you've tried the default MCP debugger, you'll understand how huge a deal it is that you can do all of that from Postman now. Go here to give this a try:

The cool thing about local-first web apps is you don't have to choose anymore, which was one of the goals for Thymer: real-time collaboration, E2EE sync, and web access, while your data also lives locally and the app works offline. That means tools like Claude (or local LLMs) can get fast access to your workspace data. There's already an MCP plugin and here's a quick prototype where Claude Code talks directly to offline workspace data stored in the browser DB.

MCP is an absolute game-changer. (Together with DeepSeek, MCP is probably the hottest thing in AI over the last 6 months.) I use Cursor to write code 90% of the time. I built an MCP server to connect the Cursor agent to GroundX, an open-source RAG system, and I'm not going back. This is officially insane! Here is what I did, step by step: First, a little bit of context. I maintain an end-to-end Machine Learning System with several pipelines to process data, train, evaluate, register, deploy, and monitor a model. I've written a lot of documentation explaining how the system works and how to modify and maintain it. There's also the documentation of the few libraries I used to build the system. I'm a massive fan of GroundX, an open-source enterprise-grade RAG system you can run on your servers or deploy to any cloud provider. I've been working with them for a long time. GroundX offers two services. First, the "ingest" service uses a custom, pretrained vision model to ingest and understand your data. I used this to process all the documentation I have for my code. Markdown files, source code, HTML files, and even PDF documents. Everything I've written related to my project went into GroundX. Their second service is "search," which combines text and vector search with a fine-tuned re-ranker model to retrieve information from the data. I needed to connect Cursor with this service, and that's where MCP came in. I built an MCP server with two tools: 1. The first tool would go to GroundX and retrieve the available topics. Splitting the data into topics (or "buckets," as GroundX calls them) allows me to use the same setup to serve documentation from different topics. 2. The second tool would search GroundX under a specific topic for the context related to the supplied query. The magic happens after connecting the MCP server with Cursor. Now, I can ask any questions related to my project, and Cursor's AI agent retrieves the list of available topics from the RAG system and then searches it to provide relevant context to the model. I went from getting mediocre, sometimes wrong answers to 100% truthful, complete answers. Here is the crazy part:

Been using Paper MCP with Claude Code today and I’m kind of blown away! I tested importing Figma designs, then iterating on them using live Supabase data (via MCP). It genuinely feels like a glimpse of where design is heading. would love Paper to add something like agentation from Benji Taylor, so Claude Code can target frames and layers directly.

English is the most powerful language in the world. MongoDB just added support for MCP, and literally anyone can now query data without knowing anything about databases. If you know English, you are all set. I recorded a quick video to show you how I connect to a sample Airbnb database and run different queries: • How many listings? • How many listings in the US? • What's the list of countries in these listings? It takes 10 seconds to configure Claude, Cursor, WindSurf, or any other AI assistant to connect to MongoDB's MCP Server. By the way, the server supports much more than queries: • You can explore your collections • You can fetch schema information • You can generate app code snippets • You can manage your databases • You can handle cluster/user/admin tasks Here is a link to the MCP server GitHub repository: This is huge for developers. It's even bigger for non-developers. Thanks to the MongoDB team for collaborating with me on this post.

"If you're an analytical SaaS company, it's over. It's over." - Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora "What is an analytical SaaS company? It is a company that says, “I'm going to collect a lot of data for you and analyze it for you.” I don't need you to analyze it for me. I can run models against the data and analyze it myself. Think about it: almost every SaaS company has a marketplace. You can buy applications from the Salesforce Marketplace. What do those applications say? “You have Salesforce data. I'm a marketplace app. Use me, and I'll help you analyze that data.” But I don't need to do that. You don't need those applications anymore. I can simply run an LLM against the data. Therefore, all the additional functionality that has traditionally been sold to us as incremental software modules may no longer need to be sold separately. I would much rather have an LLM run against the data." ---- From "All-In Podcast" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

wtf is MCP? Paul Klein IV, CEO of explains "Model Context Protocol" (MCP) in plain terms: "There's this new way that people are exposing tools to AI & the 'Model Context Protocol' is one of those ways that you can standardize & give your AI a set of tools to call. BrowserBase has a way to expose the browser to your agent via MCP or MCP server. More & more developers are trying to find ways to integrate more functionalities to their AI agents & BrowserBase's browsers are one of those primitive functionalities, & the MCP is just one way to integrate it into your software." Paul Klein IV From 🅱️'s GitHub: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you’re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.
