MCP - a open protocol for AI (LLM) to talk to other tools / systems / applications. Naive, but don’t judge me, I was judging AI capabilities with me being Naive   - So I asked Claude AI to create an MCP - An MCP the AI itself will use - Gave a website address to which MCP had to be created (with public APIs) - It Generated extensive, detailed code - I dwelled on it, fine tuned for my preference / requirements, it went ahead and did a bit more than I asked for. Website was analysed in minutes (amusing and scary) - I asked it to package it as executable package - I had configured file system MCP - So, Claude leveraged that and created a python project in filesystem and created Project with proper files and folder structure - Here comes Claude code (CC) - This python project of MCP server, was not in a running state - Asked CC to make the code runnable (of course I was in control (manual loop) of the changes it was making) - MCP server to run in local system (MacOs) needed some changes in trivial python code, CC made the changes - Interesting side part, during this whole process, it was also creating documentation, to install server, to run server and the MCP config for other tools - At times I had to say update the documentation - OOPS !! Code got changed, but what was changed ? - I asked CC to make this project version controlled. Oh my Devaa (God), it converted the project into a Git repo (local) - Created git related files, Auto committed all files. All I had to do was, say yes, go ahead - Well, we got side tracked, lets get back to MCP - So, now I asked CC to run the server (lazy to copy the command and run it in next tab terminal) - Obviously.. It had issues, and obviously it auto corrected the code - It wrote test cases, wrote test start script, tested it, committed the code and then - now it tells me, 'All fixed, Want to run?', Howdhu maga howdhu, run (yes dude yes, run) - MCP server started. I updated MCP configuration and restarted Claude Desktop - pssssttt….. curios? - :( Error: MCP server couldn’t be started - Again me being extremely (purposefully) lazy, told CC, you are being dumb, fix the startup error - I guess, I hurt its Ego. - It asked permissions for MCP server log file. whaaaat really ?, it wants to read log files now, wow. - It test ran with its test scripts, read the log, analysed like a nerd, updated the test files and code, reran until it was fixed and updated the documentation and also committed the code - What can I say, I was watching Christopher Nolan movie level events. - Finally, MCP worked, I tested few things, results were as expected.   It ain’t over, my architectural / Engineering hormones kicked in. How about containerisation ? How about productionising it ? How about Security & Authentication ? How about Performance & Scalability ? How about Operational Readiness ? How about AI Security, Gaurdrails ? Stay tuned, I will be back 🙂

When you have the best of different disciplines sitting together to solve a complex problem - how do you get them to have discourse if they all only talk in their own jargon? Specialist can provide the right answers... if you ask the right questions. This is where the Expert Generalist comes in. This skillset is particularly important in some roles like Enterprise Architects where one need to cross multiple dimensions of specialisation. On one axis, spanning the various technical disciplines such as cloud, cyber, application, storage, network, compute, etc. and on another across the organisation capabilities, i.e. sales, product, operations, finance, risk, etc.
