The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI models like Claude to interact with various tools, but careful selection is crucial due to token costs. For solo developers, the Filesystem MCP offers high ROI by reducing logistical context loss, allowing Claude to directly read and write files. Other valuable MCPs include Git for code history analysis, Obsidian for note integration, Browser Automation for live site interaction, and read-only Postgres access for database queries. It's advised to avoid all-in-one agent servers, wrappers for unused SaaS tools, and redundant search implementations to manage token usage effectively. AI
