Why MCP Won

I built https://skeet.build where anyone can try out mcp for cursor and dev tools without a lot of setup.

I build APIs for my day job and mcp isn’t the same as just porting over APIs.

I 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.

Mostly for workflows that I like:

• 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

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

Lmk what you think!

Great coverage. I was first hesitant to watch the 1hr45min long video. But well worth it!
