MCP Servers will give you superpowers.

by

I assume most of you by now have heard the term MCP server. If not, I envy you, you must have a very calm life.

I have been building and using MCP servers for almost a month now and I am really shocked by the capabilities. If you are a developer using Cursor for example, from the Agent Chat, you can basically do anything you want.

Scrape the web, fetch data from the web, add data to the web, play with browsers, databases, anything. I definitely recommend these libraries:

  • mcp-use

  • mcp-remote

  • mcp-inspector

  • openai/agents

Being familiar and comfortable with those libraries is the equivalent of raising 1M $ from VCs in Silicon Valley back in 2018. That's the kind of superpowers they give you. Are you using any MCPs yourself?

If you find the agent is doing some manual steps over and over again that's a great moment to stop and think if you can move some of what the agent does to a CLI tool or to an MCP.

Might even make a great product. Chances are if you need it others will need it as well.

I have started to use Claude Code for technical SEO and over time realized that while it works well it is a bit slow at it so I moved some of the steps (e.g. analyzing robots.txt and checking core web vitals) to an MCP and now I have the best of both worlds: a powerful agent + fast tool use via MCP.
