Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Are we overengineering AI agents, or am I just lazy? 100
Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 28/01/2026MCP makes sense when you have multiple agents sharing the same remote service. Real use case, no debate. But on your laptop? Running a server so your agent can query a database is insane. Just use psql. We overcomplicated this. 120
Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 28/01/2026It's faster. It's simpler. Claude already knows how to use these tools. I kept a few MCP servers where no CLI alternative exists yet. Context7 for example. But that's the exception, not the rule. 120
Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Then I just wrote one line in my CLAUDE.md: "Use CLI tools." psql instead of a Postgres MCP server. gh instead of a GitHub MCP server. curl instead of a search MCP server. agent-browser instead of Playwright MCP server. Done. No server running. No config. No protocol. 120
Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I deleted every MCP server from my Claude Code setup. I was running MCP servers for everything. Postgres, GitHub, search, browser automation. Background processes running all day waiting for my agent to maybe use them. 100
Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I might migrate to Bluesky indefinitely with what is happening on X. Am I the only one ? 010
Stan Girard @stangirard.bsky.social · 01/12/2024New to this, X is good for Tech, Linkedin for showing off. What is this platform good for ? 130
