I got obsessed with MCPs, here is why. This blows my mind, and it is not what you think. It is not building with MCP but something that I think is more powerful and useful.
I built this knowledge base for YouTube with TanStack AI and Gemma 4 to run locally, then I extended it's ability through tools and data that is able to be seved via MCP and used in Claude Desktop or code.
The flexability of what you can accomplish this gives you is will.
If you are not building MCPs for your projects, you should.
