We're witnessing a shift where MCP servers are increasingly hosted in the cloud, allowing for easier integration into workflows, particularly with Claude AI.

MCP servers can bridge the gap to the real world, allowing users to control physical devices, like synthesizers, through Claude.

For developers new to MCP, start by exploring an existing online server to understand the interaction patterns before building your own.

MCP's standardization allows server builders to create multiple servers that automatically work with the application, simplifying the development process.

There's a magical moment when you teach Claude something new using an MCP server, and it takes action on something meaningful to you, creating excitement and engagement.

MCP enables Claude to perform actions beyond just text output, such as interacting with other applications and even operating devices like 3D printers, enhancing its functionality.

To get started with Claude Code, simply download it from NPM using the command 'npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code', and it will guide you through the setup process.

To use Claude's computer capabilities, developers must run it in a virtual machine or container and obtain an Anthropic API key, after which they can interact with Claude through a dedicated browser interface.

The current state of MCP includes major players adopting it across their products, with over 10,000 MCP server builders contributing to a growing ecosystem.
