Why I built an MCP server to check my docs (and what it taught me)

If you’ve been following the AI space for a while, the MCP acronym might be a familiar sight: it’s an open standard for connecting large language models (LLMs) to tools and data. Without the ability to use tools and get data, AI agents are powerless, their knowledge limited to their training set and the context at hand. Giving in to my curiosity, I created an MCP server to demystify this piece of tech and gain a better understanding of its potential. Not all is rosy, but if there’s a place where doc tools need to grow, it’s this.
