I recently switched from VS Code to Cursor as my main editor. Been a software engineer for 15+ years, worked at big tech and early-stage startups. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of hype around MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations with Claude on X/LinkedIn. Some cool demos, like MCPs for browser debugging and Firecrawl MCP, have caught my eye.<p>That said, I tend to be skeptical of hype, so before I sink time into this, is anyone actually using MCP servers as part of their dev workflow? If so, which ones, and how are they actually helping?<p>I feel like just adding a CLI tool to Cursor’s rules file and telling it how to use it might be just as effective. But maybe I’m missing something?<p>Would love to hear from real users, not just polished demo videos made by people building MCP servers. If you use MCP servers in Cursor (or anywhere else), let me know what you use and why?
I built <a href="https://skeet.build" rel="nofollow">https://skeet.build</a> where anyone can try out mcp for cursor and dev tools without a lot of setup.<p>We did this because of a painpoint I experienced as an engineer having to deal with Jira and Linear - updating slack and all that friction. I noticed I copy and paste a lot to cursor and so spent time building this app.<p>Mostly for workflows that I like:<p>• start a PR with a summary of what I just did - slack or comment to linear/Jira with a summary of what I pushed
• connect to Postgres and build CRUD api from the table schema
• pull this issue from sentry and fix it
• pull this linear issue and do a first pass
• pull in this Notion doc with a PRD then create an API reference for it based on this codebase, then create a new Notion page with the reference<p>Everyone seems to go for the hype but ease of use, practical pragmatic developer workflows, and high quality polished mcp servers are what we’re focused on<p>Lmk what you think!
We're prototyping an MCP for RevenueCat. The goal is to provide an onramp for developers to setup their integration, add new product etc. w/o having to leave their dev environment. Still ways to go but initial results are very cool.
I know this is a fast evolving space, but I'd love to learn more about what exactly is possible here. The API doesn't seem to be very well documented.
