There&rsquo;s a ceiling of how effective they can be if they&rsquo;re running in a boilerplate environment, with no customized context or guidance.</p>https://dylanwatt.com/posts/2025-06-05-mcp-heel/Tue, 03 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700https://dylanwatt.com/posts/2025-06-05-mcp-heel/<p>I&rsquo;ve been getting into personalizing Claude desktop for more much more detailed, powerful responses.</p> <p>Model Contect Protocol (MCP), is a way to expose tools (APIs) to an AI agent to get custom data, or do custom actions.
