The Ones That Sound Useful But Aren’t
Slack and Teams servers get installed, used a few times, and removed. Reading Slack through Claude adds a step without saving one — you still have to know what you’re looking for. The exceptions are specific, narrow use cases: “summarise this channel’s last week” or “find any messages mentioning project X.” For those tasks they’re useful. For general browsing, they’re not.
Image generation servers are fun once. Then you realise you can just use the image tools directly. The indirection of going through Claude to call an image API doesn’t add much.
Notification servers create more noise than signal. Claude deciding to send you a notification is rarely better than you seeing the thing directly.
