A2A: Adversary to Adversary?

When do you choose Agent2Agent over MCP or subagents? It all has to do with administrative boundaries.

Using AWS's Official MCP Servers with LocalStack

AWS ships a fleet of official MCP servers that let agents write IaC, validate it, and invoke Lambda functions. Point them at LocalStack instead of real AWS, and an agent can build, harden, deploy, and test the cloud app locally. Here is how we wired them up and what happened.

Give Your Coding Agent a Real Cloud to Break

We gave Claude Code the LocalStack MCP server and a production bug report about a broken dead-letter queue, then watched it deploy, reproduce the failure from App Inspector traces, fix the pipeline, and prove the fix, without touching an AWS account.

Stateless MCP is cheaper to scale

MCP’s 2026-07-28 specification removes protocol sessions and the `Mcp-Session-Id` header, making remote MCP servers cheaper and easier to scale. This post explains the old session model, why it required infrastructure such as sticky routing and Redis, and how stateless MCP preserves application state through explicit handles.

You can't prompt your way into policy

Putting policy inside plain-language instructions gives the model a lot of (expensive) work to do before it can act, and there are no guarantees about safety. Furthermore, other prompts in the context window may be pushing in a different direction. Here's a vision for a better governance model via a context graph.

experai gets machine-readable output, opencode/MCP integration, and AT Protocol weight publishing

The CLI now supports --json and --support for scripting and tooling, an opencode plugin and stdio MCP server expose it as agent tools, and a new publish-weight command writes trained checkpoints to a PDS as chunked blobs.

The Audacity of decay: Why the MCP must not mutate its constitution for Chakwera’s catastrophic ambitions

The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) stands at a knife-edge of existential self-destruction. A ferocious rebellion is brewing from within, as long-time loyalists, veteran institutional figures, and parliamentary powerhouses unite in an aggressive, unapologetic chorus demanding one thing: Lazarus Chakwera must step down. The party cannot and will not be dragged into the 2030 General Election...

Chakwera never again, says MCP loyalist

Context graphs, MCP tools, plain text, making users awesome, and events!

"Context graph" is a term I hear a lot. It needs to graduate from vague buzzword to actual term of art. I think we're almost there:

MCP tool calling under the hood

So when we say that an AI called a tool, what usually happened is a little more specific than that phrase suggests. Here's a deeper look into that plumbing.

ATProto MCP server is now functional

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

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

Will AI tools manifest more intent based API?

While LLMs provided a significant leap in capability, how 'agentic' we should be with them has been of significant interest over the last years.

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.
