👉 Links: Web Development with AI Bootcamp Waitlist: https://diydevs.io/ Private Coaching: https://bubble.io/coaching?coach=jdev In this video, we’re exploring the growing buzz around MCP servers (Model Context Protocol) and examining whether they’re truly groundbreaking or just the latest AI fad. We’ll look at what MCP servers are, how they work in practical scenarios (like integrating GitHub, Stripe, or Linear), and the key benefits/drawbacks of using them. You’ll see a hands-on example of connecting a Linear MCP server to Cursor. 💡 What We Cover What Are mCP Servers? – The basics of how this open standard aims to unify how AI agents access external tools. How Do They Work? – A step-by-step walk-through, including examples of calling external APIs (e.g., GitHub, Stripe, and Linear). Practical Use Cases – Real-world scenarios where MCP servers might streamline tasks in your coding environment. Are They Worth the Hype? – My honest take on whether you should jump on this trend, or keep an eye on alternatives as everything evolves.
