Model Context Protocol · weekend edition

One MCP workflow,
every weekend.

A deep dive on one Model Context Protocol server, wired into real work start to finish -- the config that worked, the parts that broke, and when it is worth reaching for. Not a news roundup. Not a leaderboard.

What's in each issue

01

The workflow

One server doing one real job, end to end -- what the task was, what the agent actually did, and what came out the other side.

02

The exact setup

The config, the commands, the permissions. Copy-paste runnable, with the versions it was tested against.

03

Where it breaks

The rough edges worth knowing before you wire it into anything you care about -- and the cases where the answer is "don't".

04

Also worth wiring

Shorter notes on servers that shipped something new, across the ecosystem -- not a changelog dump.

About

MCP is easy to install and hard to picture. Most of what is written about it answers "which server is best" -- the question that actually blocks people is "what would I use this for." MCP Weekly answers that one, one workflow at a time, across the whole ecosystem.

Published by Yaw Labs, who maintain a handful of open-source MCP servers and use a great many more.
