This is great. As someone who has made a few MCP servers in the last few months, MAN this spec moves fast; well ahead of Anthropic's internal support for it, and well ahead of documentation for implementation. It's like the Javascript community suddenly got automatic code creation agents, and went to town..
That said, the original spec needed some rapid iteration. With https support finally in relatively good shape, I hope we'll be able to take a year to let the API dust settle. Spec updates every three months are really tough, especially when not versioned, thoroughly documented, or archived properly.
Yeah, security really is an afterthought with most of these tools, but man the community is moving insanely fast — probably because most of these people are using these automation tools to develop their MCP servers in the first place.
It’s interesting to see other tools struggling to keep up. ChatGPT supposedly will get proper MCP client support “any day now”, but I don’t see codex supporting it any time soon.
Aider is very much struggling to adapt as well, as their whole workflow of editing and navigating files is easily replaced by MCP servers (probably better as well, as it provides much effective ways of reducing noise vs signal), so it’ll be interesting to see how tools adapt.
I’d love for Claude Code (or any tool for that matter) to fully embrace the agentic way of coding, e.g. have multiple agents specialize in different topics and some “main” agent directing them all. Those workflows seem to be working really well.
This is great news; remote MCP support should be open and accessible.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been using WitsyAi: it’s fully free, open source, and serves as a universal desktop chat-client (with remote MCP calling). You just need to BYO API keys.
Remote MCPs are close to my heart; I’ve been building a “Heroku for remote MCP tools” over at Ninja[2] to make it easy for people to spin up and share MCP tools without the usual setup headaches.
Lately, I’ve also been helping folks get started with MCP development on Raspberry Pi. If you’re keen to dive in, feel free to reach out [3].
I'm using https://xander.bot, which already leverages MCP connection between Claude Code and Linear. Really awesome stuff, how it knows how to gather context from Linear.

I've found this from an old-school systems geek to be useful https://github.com/giantswarm/mcp-debug -- especially its REPL mode
List of servers to connect to here: https://github.com/jaw9c/awesome-remote-mcp-servers
Thanks!!!

This is great, we have recently released on the blackboxai vscode agent a live call with the coding agent
Will be trying the MCP with the live call as well, i think it should work
