The Mathanga truth: Law over politics
Over the past few days, social media has been awash with polarized debates regarding the Industrial Relations Court (IRC) consent order that reinstated former Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) Deputy Governor, Henry Mathanga, effective January 1, 2026.While certain political factions have attempted to frame the judicial resolution as a political payout, the actual legal history...
MCP tool calling under the hood
When you ask an agent to create a Jira ticket, and a few seconds later the ticket exists, we usually say that the model called a tool. That's useful shorthand, and I use it too, but it can make the process sound more direct than it really is. The model almost certainly didn't interact with Jira's services directly. What it most likely did was generate a structured request asking the harness, which is the application wrapped around it, to do those things on its behalf. I want to walk through what actually happens during a tool call, using a simple example prompt:

Produktdatenqualität im Magento 2 Shop mit KI verbessern

What MCP Actually Means for Digital Marketers
Building the Ghost MCP server
The last two posts here were about the skills in this plugin — one learns my writing voice from my published posts, the other revises a draft section by section. Neither can do anything without a way to reach Ghost: to read what I've already posted, create a draft, update one that's already up. That's the rest of the plugin, a small MCP server wrapping the Ghost Admin API. The server reaches Ghost with several tools create, read, update, images, and site info. Everything that takes judgment st

Providing version-specfic context to an LLM using an MCP can greatly improve productivity and reduce cost.
Adding OAuth to an MCP Server: From API Keys to Browser Login
MixCraft started with static API keys—generate one from the web portal, paste it into your Claude Code config. The mx_ prefixed keys had no expiration, lived in shell history and dotfiles, and revoking one meant generating a new key and updating every client. Service tokens from third-party APIs expired after an hour with no refresh mechanism, so users would get silent failures mid-session. I needed to replace the whole auth model with OAuth. But worse, it didn't work well with claude.ai because
Fortresses, Pipes, and Brains
Workday's CEO called AI agent startups "parasites." Linear shipped a native AI agent that understands software development workflows. These are two ends of a spectrum, with most of the industry stuck in the middle — exposing data through MCP without embedding any intelligence. The companies that win will be the ones that make AI native to their domain workflow.
MixCraft - Adding Claude Skills to the music assistant
MixCraft connects Claude to Apple Music. The infrastructure post explains why the server is hosted remotely — Apple Music requires server-side JWT signing with a private key, so a local MCP server wasn't an option. This post covers the other side: the Apple Music integration itself, the adapter pattern that makes the server extensible, and the Claude Code plugin that ships alongside it. The source is at github.com/schuettc/mixcraft-app. The Adapter Interface The MCP server doesn't call Ap
MixCraft - A hosted music assistant MCP
Several months ago, I was looking for some new music and decided to give Claude a crack at finding me some new music. i'm trying to make an album based playlist. It should consist of 3 (mostly) complete albums. Right now I have Hum - Downward is Heavenward and Weezer - Pinkerton. These two go together very well. Is there a third album we can include in this? This fairly innocuous prompt resulted in Claude suggested a completely unknown to me band that very quickly became one of my
The Ghost in the Training Set
LLMs have statistical momentum: even when they know a new standard like Streamable HTTP exists, they often revert to the legacy patterns they saw most in training. Here is how to use "strong anchors" and "zero-prompt pruning" to keep your agentic systems from being haunted by 2024.
