Build your first MCP server in Python (free) and connect it to Claude, Cursor or any AI agent
Step-by-step: create a minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with the official Python SDK, expose one useful tool, test it locally, and add it to an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor. No paid tools needed.
Give an AI agent safe access to your email, files and accounts (security checklist)
A practical security checklist for letting an AI agent (Claude, Grok Bot, Cursor, n8n agents, MCP tools) act on your behalf: least privilege, approval gates, prompt-injection defences, secrets handling and audit logs.
Fix MCP tools not showing up in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code (troubleshooting checklist)
Your MCP server is configured but the agent shows no tools? Work through this checklist: test the server outside the client, check transport and config file, confirm it started and authenticated, then check the client's tool toggles and logs.
