The Model Context Protocol explained practically — with a real working example you can deploy today
Most Claude Code tutorials tell you to install MCP servers.
This one shows you how to build one.
Because once you understand that MCP is just a JSON-RPC server with a specific protocol, the entire ecosystem opens up. You can connect Claude Code to any internal ...
How a simple CLAUDE.md file replaced 15 minutes of context-setting every morning
Every morning I was spending 15 minutes typing the same things into Claude Code.
"Here's what we're building. Here's the tech stack. Here's how we handle authentication. Here's the naming conventions we use."
Every. Single. Session.
Sound familiar? If you're using Claude ...
You want to build an AI-powered feature. Maybe a chatbot, an image classifier, or a recommendation engine. The first decision you'll face is: should I use someone else's model or train my own? This post breaks down both paths, when to pick which, and the real-world tradeoffs nobody tells you about upfront.
