Three transport names, one of them deprecated, and a confusing amount of SSE still inside the transport that replaced it.

The best MCP servers for Claude Code, and the ones to skip Fourteen servers that earn their context, the exact install command for each, and the popular ones Claude Code already makes redundant. 8 min Claude connectors vs Claude Code MCP servers A connector is an MCP server with a different front door. Which door you used decides where it lives, who controls it, and how you switch it off. 8 min GitHub MCP server in Claude Code: setup, toolsets, and when not to One command to add it, the per-toolset URLs to keep it small, and the honest comparison against the gh CLI you already have. 8 min Atlassian MCP in Claude Code: Jira and Confluence, properly wired The endpoint that is actually current, why OAuth and API tokens cover different products, and the per-plan rate limits nobody mentions. 8 min Remove an MCP server from Claude Code, and make it stay gone One command removes it. Five different mechanisms can put it back, and each needs a different fix. 7 min What is MCP in AI, and what it actually replaces The protocol, the server, and the two comparisons everyone gets wrong: MCP is not an API replacement and it is not RAG. 10 min MCP transports: stdio, SSE, and streamable HTTP Three transport names, one of them deprecated, and a confusing amount of SSE still inside the transport that replaced it. 9 min DeepWiki MCP: ask any public GitHub repo a question Three tools, one URL, no API key. The setup for each client, and the honest limits of asking a generated wiki instead of the code. 7 min MCP gateway: one endpoint in front of every MCP server An LLM gateway fronts models. An MCP gateway fronts tools. Same idea, much younger category, real caveats. 6 min
