Tip #12: MCP — the USB-C of AI tools
One open standard for connecting agents to external systems across all tools.
Tip #13: Give your agent a browser
Chrome DevTools MCP lets the agent click, inspect, and test web UIs from your terminal.
Tip #14: Your CLI tools are already AI tools
gh, git, jq, curl work without MCP — the agent just calls –help.

Every connected server costs tokens every turn. Be selective.
