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. It is: a layer on top of your backend designed specifically for LLM interaction It has three main responsibilities: It tells the sys
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
Most agency onboarding fails before the kickoff call happens. Not because the team isn't good. Not because the client is difficult. Because nobody collected the right context upfront, and the kickoff call becomes the place where everyone discovers what they don't know yet. The intake form is the fix. Not a 3-question "tell us about your project" form. A real one. Here's the framework we use — 27 q
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 two patterns get pitched as alternatives. They are not. They solve different problems. Most production agents need both. Here is the decision rule, the framing for each, and the anti-patterns I keep

What if managing your bookmarks felt like talking to a colleague? Not clicking through menus, not filling out forms, not dragging items between folders. Just saying what you want done. That's what prompt-based bookmark management looks like. LinkaGoGo connects to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — giving your AI direct access to your bookmark
