Readit Newsaberoham commented on Remote MCP Support in Claude Code anthropic.com/news/claude... · Posted by u/surprisetalk
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've found this from an old-school systems geek to be useful https://github.com/giantswarm/mcp-debug -- especially its REPL mode

at least this one does:
> Postscriptum: Yes, I did slap an Apache 2 license on it. Is that even valid when there's barely a human in the loop? A fascinating question but not one I'm not eager to figure out myself. It is however certainly something we'll all have to confront sooner or later.
The research shows the US Copyright Office hasn't caught up with `claude` code: they claim that prompting alone doesn't create authorship, regardless of complexity. Without "substantial" human modification and creative control over the final expression, the code lands in public domain by default. Not that it matters here, but anyone could theoretically use Ronacher's library while ignoring the Apache 2 terms entirely.
What makes this fascinating is that Ronacher knows this ("Is that even valid when there's barely a human in the loop?") but published anyway. It's a perfect microcosm of our current predicament - we're all slapping licenses on potentially unenforceable code because the alternative is.. what exactly?
