MCPs for Developers Who Think They Don't Need MCPs | goose
Excerpt
Lately, I've seen more developers online starting to side eye MCP. There was a tweet by Darren Shepherd that summed it up well: > "Most devs were introduced to MCP through coding agents (Cursor, VSCode) and most devs struggle to get value out of MCP in this use case... so they are rejecting MCP because they have a CLI and scripts available to them which are way better for them." ⦠## Context7: Docs That Don't Suck ā Here's another pain point developers hit: documentation. You're working with a new library. Or integrating an API. Or wrestling with an open source tool. The Context7 MCP pulls up-to-date docs, code examples, and guides right into your AI agent's brain. You just ask questions and get answers like: - "How do I create a payment with the Square SDK?" - "What's the auth flow for Firebase?" - "Is this library tree-shakable?"
