Claude Desktop enhanced with three daily-use MCP servers for file, code, and database access

The author details three specific "MCP" servers they actively use within Claude Desktop to enhance its capabilities. These servers include a filesystem server for direct project file access, a GitHub server for code reviews and issue tracking, and a PostgreSQL server for database querying directly within the chat interface. Each server is easily installable via the `mcp-hub` command and requires a brief configuration restart of Claude Desktop, though a warning is issued about the potential security risks of the filesystem server.
