So far, we’ve covered: why MCP exists what MCP is what tools are Now let’s answer a key question: When the model decides to use a tool… who actually runs it? An MCP server is: The component that exposes tools and executes them. An MCP server is not just your backend.

I spent a weekend connecting every MCP server that sounded useful. By Sunday night I had 11 running, a claude_desktop_config.json that scrolled off the screen, and an agent that was technically capable of doing almost anything. In practice, it was doing almost nothing useful. What I learned had very little to do with which servers are "good." The MCP ecosystem has exploded. There are directories w
MCP vs Skills: a practical decision guide for builders I need my agent to do X. Skill or MCP? If you build agents on Claude or anything MCP-compatible, this is the question that actually matters.

The landscape of mobile development is shifting beneath our feet. For years, "Smart Apps" were simply thin clients for powerful cloud APIs. If you wanted to understand the sentiment of a sentence or find similar documents, you packaged a JSON request, sent it to a server, and waited for a response. But the era of the "Cloud-First" mandate is being challenged by a new priority: Privacy-Centric, Low
