> Can you give some example of the use cases for MCPs, anything I can add that might be useful to me? How "useful" a particular MCP is depends a lot on the quality of the MCP but i've been slowly testing the waters with GitHub MCP and Home Assistant MCP. GH was more of a "go fix issue #10" type deal where I had spent the better part of a dog-walk dictating the problem, edge cases that I could think of and what a solution would probably entail. Because I have robust lint and test on that repo, the first proposed solution was correct. The HomeAssistant MCP server leaves a lot to be desired; next to no write support so it's not possible to have _just_ the LLM produce automations or even just assist with basic organization or dashboard creation based on instructions. I was looking at Ghidra MCP but - apparently - plugins to Ghidra must be compiled _for that version of ghidra_ and I was not in the mood to set up a ghidra dev environment... but I was able to get _fantastic_ results just pasting some pseudo code into GPT and asking "what does this do given that iVar1 is ..." and I got back a summary that was correct. I then asked "given $aboveAnalysis, what bytes would I need to put into $theBuffer to exploit $theorizedIssueInAboveAnalysis" and got back the right answer _and_ a PoC python script. If I didn't have to manually copy/paste so much info back and forth, I probably would have been blown away with ghidra/mcp. | ||

any one of these MCP's can have some supply chain risk where all it takes is one prompt injection to extract your chat history. | ||

Something I did yesterday with my own setup. "Please find 3 fencing clubs in South London, find out which offer training sessions tomorrow, then add those sessions to my Calendar." That kicked off a maps MCP, a web-research MCP and my calendar MCP. Pretty neat honestly. |
