If I understand correctly MCP is the interface to connect any API to LLMs.

Now a lot of people use it to add context to their model. And also tool calls?

I am using continue.dev not Claude but I imagine this tech stack will be ported everywhere.

As a python Dev I don't quite yet understand though how and what service I should be running. Or be using. Tbh. Can anyone ELI5?

I’ve made one MCP server for fun https://altonote.com/.

it allows publishing any text or claude artifact directly from the claude.

I have made it mostly for fun and as an experiment to try what is possible.

Any actual evidence of it being better? Because publicly available evidence points to the contrary, where it repeatedly fails to complete the most basic of tasks.

I meant "better for me on the projects in the long run, since I can do refactoring cheaper"

Counterpoint: AI has help me refactor things where I normally couldn’t. Things like extracting some common structure that’s present in a slightly different way in 30 places, where cursor detects it, or suggesting potential for a certain pattern.

The problem with vibe coding is more behavioral I think: the person more likely to jump in the bandwagon to avoid writing some code themselves is probably not the one thinking about long term architecture and craftsmanship. It’s a laziness enhancer.

100% this. I did this many times too. Often I wouldn’t bother with cleanup or refactor before, but now it’s way easier, faster and cheaper to do it.

And it’s better in the long run.

Mail app (part of macOS)

Folder per research topic for a bit of structure.

In the Todo folder, 1 email is 1 todo. Reply can be used to change the todo or add more information. When task is finished then email is moved by replying done to the email and rules will take care of the rest.

With Safari I can email an article to myself that is basically only the article and not the whole website.

Search in Mail app is amazing.

I have ~20k emails now in my notes folders.

Also part of many mailing lists. Discourse forums often have mailing mode. Mail is basically my second brain. I find things that are important quicker in Mail then via Google. Rust mailing list (via discourses mailing list mode) is a life saver. Beauty of it is, all emails are on my disk so it also works offline.

Total emails in my mailboxes come close to ~500k now.

Also from other places I can send notes to myself with special email addresses.

pretty cool. I don't use it like that, but can see it being useful.

I like Safari send to mail feature too.

I made small Mail app macOS extension called alto.mail. Thinking what features can I add to make it even more useful.
