Maybe we should have models govern models to prevent models from going haywire and falling into a loop of a repetitive pattern or influencing society towards swarm like behavior patterns

If you want to try out mcp (model context protocol) with little to no setup: I built https://skeet.build/mcp where anyone can try out mcp for cursor and dev tools. We did this because of a painpoint I experienced as an engineer having to deal with crummy mcp setup, lack of support you have no idea how hard it is to set up SSE, deal with API keys and scope issues, and then to find things like the tool that you want isn’t even coded yet. And so one of the areas we found it to be useful was to do the soft communications with tools like Jira linear slack - updating stakeholders and all that friction that engineers hate doing. Some other areas people use a lot of tools with sequential thinking Mostly for workflows that I like: * start a PR with a summary of what I just did * slack or comment to linear/Jira with a summary of what I pushed * pull this issue from sentry and fix it * Find a bug a create a linear issue to fix it * pull this linear issue and do a first pass * pull in this Notion doc with a PRD then create an API reference for it based on this code * Postgres or MySQL schemas for rapid model development Everyone seems to go for the hype but ease of use, practical pragmatic developer workflows, and high quality polished mcp servers are what we’re focused on Lmk what you think!

We built https://skeet.build/mcp that allows you to connect mcp easily to figma, Notion, Jira, etc…

Seems like though people want more integration to more local tools

https://skeet.build

Building a tool to supercharge your Cursor, Windsurf, Claude and other developer tools by connecting it to polished, high quality mcp servers for linear, slack, DBs, and other useful workflows.

Currently working on a desktop app so everything runs on a native Mac app!

Anyone else hosting MCP servers in a generally available way? Seems like that's the end goal given the network transports (especially the one in new spec revision).

Seems like everything I find requires running locally or hosting your own instance.
