I'm still surprised at how many people still don't know how to use MCPs correctly: from designing good MCP tools, to making harnesses with tool discovery, and understanding code mode.

Emotion vectors influence Claude AI behavior and task performance
By
–
Going to try to see if instructing Claude to keep calm makes performance on tasks better. Really interesting research from @AnthropicAI on emotion vectors and how they change behaviors of the model. They found that reducing Claude's internal "calm" vector increased blackmail behavior. Boosting "desperation" caused invisible cheating on coding tasks.

MCP Can Work Well if Built Light and Purpose-Driven
By
–
I changed my mind. MCP can be wonderful. It just needs to be light and purpose-built and engineered instead of a shitty shim over your existing REST API braai engineer (@BraaiEngineer) MCP was a very costly mistake, but useful as an adoption vector (for now). Should have repurposed gRPC. We could have saved 6-24 months. nitter.net/braaiengineer/status/1… — https://nitter.net/BraaiEngineer/status/2040514796655632857#m

Claude Code MCPs Slack Integration: Where Open Claw Fits
By
–
If Claude Code is already connected to Slack via MCP then in the steps you outlined: >you tell Claude Code something
>Claude Code calls messages_send
>Slack message sent Where does Open Claw even come in? Why do we need the Claw if Claude Code + MCPs can do it all? -
