Your MCP Server Is Probably Not Being Called

We ran the same MCP servers and questions on two agent harnesses. Under Claude Code most tools were barely called at all. Here is the measured cause of it.

Giving AI Coding Agents Real Codebase Context

Codebase context for AI agents turns one index into 10 task-shaped MCP tools, cutting real agent-loop output tokens 31.6% on Codex. See how structured context works, try repowise.

Claude Code Context Management for Large Codebases

Claude Code large codebase work fails for a simple reason: the model can only reason over what fits in its context window. A big repo does not fit. A good…

Cursor Codebase Context: MCP Setup That Actually Helps

Cursor MCP works best when you stop treating it like a magic search box and start treating it like a source of structured codebase context. Cursor’s own docs…

When an MCP tool should return raw text, not answers

A practical mcp tools design rule: return raw evidence when the model needs to inspect files, symbols, or decisions. See the boundary in Repowise.

Why we ship a graph-aware MCP server instead of file readers

Graph aware mcp cuts grep loops: resolve callers, dependents, and review impact in one hop. See the token and latency math.

Ten MCP Tools That Make AI Agents Actually Useful for Code

The current state of AI-assisted engineering feels like a paradox. We have Large Language Models (LLMs) with massive context windows, some spanning millions o...

How to Set Up an MCP Server for Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline

The fundamental bottleneck in AI-assisted engineering isn't the model's reasoning capability; it’s the context window. Even with million-token windows, stuff...
