Note-Taking

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol.
allows AI models to interact with external servers and tools to enhance their functionality
enables to connect your AI system to real-world data and applications through servers that can provide the necessary context or actions on demand.
MCP Hosts — such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code — provide environments where AI agents can run, execute tasks, and integrate with code editors or programming platforms.

A library or framework designed to make the development and usage of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers easier and faster.
A tool to quickly set up an MCP server, allowing developers to focus more on their application’s logic rather than having to spend time on boilerplate server setup.

Fetch logos from SVG Libararies
Website testing via Playwright (e.g., checking for console or accessibility issues).
Interact with error tracking platforms like Sentry
Editing tasks like creating timelines and clips with DaVinci Resolve.
Query databases like Postgres, allowing them to fetch data, perform schema checks, or run automated reports.
Data validation with libraries like Zod, ArkType, and Valibot
Return resources (e.g., images or PDFs) and reusable prompts. However, editor support for these features is still limited.

The MCP ecosystem is still evolving. While powerful, users need to be cautious when using random servers as some can be unsafe or incomplete.
The MCP standard is becoming more widespread, with tools available for multiple languages (Node, Python, etc.).
Future Outlook: Expect more advanced features and better support in the coming months.
