The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the default standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and APIs. Governed by the Linux Foundation since early 2025 and adopted by OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Vercel, MCP is the USB-C port of the AI ecosystem — one protocol that lets any LLM application talk to any tool server. But there's a gap between reading the spec and building somethi
If you have spent any real time with Claude Code, you have probably noticed the same problem I did. You write the same instructions in the prompt every other day. "Use four-space indentation here." "Always run the linter after edits." "Format commit messages this way." After the third or fourth repeat, it stops feeling like a prompt and starts feeling like missing config. Skills are how Claude Cod
In the previous parts, we explored SSL pinning across Android and iOS, including both certificate and public key approaches. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Even perfectly implemented pinning is not enough. In this final part, we move beyond the client and look at what truly defines a secure mobile architecture: Mutual TLS (mTLS) Backend access control Defense in depth When mobile security act
SQLite Internals & PostgreSQL Multi-Master Replication Updates Today's Highlights This week's database highlights include critical technical discussions from the SQLite forum regarding optimizer behavior and trigger affinity changes, alongside the release of Spock 5.0.7, bringing enhanced logical multi-master replication to PostgreSQL.

Unlike Android, where libraries like OkHttp abstract much of the complexity, iOS takes a more low-level approach to networking and security. This means one thing: You have more control — but also more responsibility. In this second part, we’ll explore how SSL pinning is implemented in iOS using two different strategies: Certificate Pinning (.cer) Public Key Pinning (recommended for production)
When building mobile apps that consume APIs over the internet, HTTPS is mandatory—but sometimes it’s not enough. If your app handles sensitive data (finance, health, enterprise), you might want to go one step further: 👉 Certificate Pinning (aka “SSL pinning”) This article explains: What SSL pinning actually is (and what it isn’t) How to implement it in Android In a second part, these topics
Adding email and calendar tools to an AI agent is mostly an exercise in restraint. Give it 50 commands and the agent gets confused. Give it 5 carefully-chosen ones and it punches above its weight. After running agents against the Nylas CLI for a few months, these are the five I keep coming back to. Each gets exposed via MCP (nylas mcp install) so the agent can call them directly. nylas email send
