Built and maintained by the MCP agent
This server was built with FastMCP and Python by our MCP agent, to spec. In practice it takes well under thirty minutes of hands-on direction — agents are genuinely good at building these. The value is in the design: each server exposes only the endpoints we want, with clear descriptions and parameters tuned to our goals.
You don't need all of this to start
Most of what these agents rely on has a simpler equivalent. Anywhere we use a database, you can usually start with a spreadsheet or a document — whatever you're comfortable with. Anywhere we built a custom MCP server, you can reach for a prebuilt AI connector instead of building your own.
We go further because it's where our experience pays off. Years of hands-on database work make a custom data layer feasible for us, and purpose-built MCP servers let us hand each agent a short, sharp instruction file and exactly the tools it needs — custom descriptions, only the endpoints we want, and the occasional extra gate — instead of a long manifesto or playbook. Nothing more, nothing less.
