Evolving the Stack
The right stack today won’t be the right stack in six months. Your work changes. Better servers get published. Things you thought you’d use turn out to be impractical; things you added tentatively become essential.
Build a habit of noticing when you’re copying information into Claude that you do repeatedly. That’s a signal that something should be an MCP server, or at least a CLI tool. Each time you automate that copy-paste, you get a small, permanent improvement to every future session.
That’s how the stack compounds. Not by installing everything at once, but by adding the right thing at the right time and keeping the noise down.
You now have the full picture: what MCP is, how to install servers, which ones are worth installing, how to build your own, and how to design a stack that works. The rest is practice.
