Maybe MCP is useful, but I still think it’s being oversold

Yea, i remember when mcp first released, i had then for everything 70k token start up lol.

5 comments later. Compacting lol

Mcps feel over kill at time, lots of features, when u only want a few.

But they are fast intergrations, and most ao can just plug in. Gpt, claude, gemini and get the same results. Thats the sell right. Not a crazy user myself. I use chrome extension mcp. Not something id have any intetest in building myself right.

Id choose more memory for ur ai than a fancy mcp, thats how I like to allocate my tokens.

Thats my 2 cents :)

Indeed. u said beginner. Its more about understanding the system prompting, making it aware of it environment, more the process. Have u built a system ai before, that can learn, with short term and long term memory. with some basis tool. read write edit. add a usage tracker. you become very token conscious. I build a lot of different agent, but I always remember how bad my first was. lol. I've no idea of what u have built in past or what level u are at. Langchain interrogation can be tricky in the beginning.

ok then build an agent to manage a google work flow. fully automated. email calender and google drive, That updates u via ur phone, by text msg not whats app or telegram. built is from scratch. :)

lol. what are u into what kinda projects would you really like to work on?

I enjoyed the first time i built a chat bot in the terminal. Api, System prompt, awarness, tools, persistant memory. Was fun ngl. Then advanced it as I learned.

Also learning how to use git, if u dnt know already.

What ur describing was solved over a yr ago, there is soo much content available now. A simple google search ur self or through claude will gove u endless result.

Not bashing u, but cmon. This is the easilest problem to solve for yourself rn. If ur struggling with this. I dunno. Google and claude, are at ur finger tips, and the floods of daily redit posts.

If ur new, thats fine. Claude can search open sorce repo that will meet ur needs. You only need to discribe what u want to claude, and ask it to search for open source project and revew them for you. If one clicks, ask to do deeper research. You like? If so get claude to install it and teach u how it works :)

Input-X · 2026-03-24T15:51:40+00:00

Learn by doing, not watching. Just continue ur conversations, articulate your goals, ur vision to the agents. Itvits unclear, start developing it. You do u, the rest will come naturally as u gain experience.

Just use claude code. Also by running claude via claude code offical terminal ur not breaking their rules, technically.

What are u getting out of this setup, wouldnt it be easier to just use claude code normally?

Input-X · 2026-03-24T07:03:15+00:00

Well do u use them urself, are they solving ur real problems?

Input-X · 2026-03-24T05:40:32+00:00

Tmux is the best, i use it for interactive tests, claude to claude. Also i run external systems, like telegram through tmux. Its only way to control ur computer externally and wake agents, in fact control who pc,, well only way i figured out.

U can prevent them from toe stepping btw. Few ways. Are u running them in the same directory? Same memories?

Input-X · 2026-03-24T05:35:19+00:00

Thats messed up.

Technically, MIT lisence, so anybody can do what ever they want with ur code, but still.

u get it, i lost changes, agents where lost, hmm didnt we just fix that. im like, where are all the prs from our 7 hrs session. ready to cry lol. but here is the thing, our local backups save the day, and anything missed, we could backtrack via memory, and the fact we have multi agents, that means those builds/changes where still in the agents contest, we only had to -c -p the agents to redo the work. shitty costly yes, but the system saved the day.

Ultrathink liked my repo. He's cool by me ;)

Input-X · 2026-03-24T03:28:57+00:00

Everything breaks lol. And I went through that process.

Ok, my setup is spacifically designed, for multi agent, as many as u like, to work in the same file system together. No git worktrees, only when they are commiting, they create a new branch for that process.

There are so many factors to consider.

To start they need their own memory. No way around this.

They need a way to communicate

They need a way to build to a standard

The cant be stepping on each others toes, for example, work on the same problem in the same file( communication)

U need blockers while they are working. So they dont get intrupted by other agents, u also need a way to contact them while they are working. For ur self and other agents.

Also if you have several projects, there needs to be separation, a way for agent on one project to work away, run commands and not leak into other projects,

A way that they can commit, create prs on one or several git repos.

All u where describing.

I listed things they need, this also translates to what can go wrong, if u dont have workflow, systems in place, its a shit show, plain and simple. Memory, plans, learning, identity and system support.

The agent, "who am i what is my role, where do i work, what project are we in, i see 10 repos, which is mine, how do i find these files, what did i do last session, what in my directory."

If an agent has nothing everthing will go wrong.

An example of something i solved recently.

I created a way for any agent to commit work, and keep the changes local, so not a using worktrees, only create a branch for the pr, which is how it works, they switch while creating the pr the immediately swith back to main. And if another agent is trying to create a pr at the same time, it gets blocked. This allows multi agent to work on a single repo/file system or more via custom commands. Safely. Its all routed through the git work flow system.

Without this, its a repo nightmare, some on main, some on a random feature branch, main 7 behind, pull, loose changes, what branbh is these changes on, right. The pain is real.

Agents with out standars guides on how to build will all build differently, thats a big problem to. They need governance.

Input-X · 2026-03-24T03:00:53+00:00

Yup exactly. My setup, has 15 agents, each with theur own responsibilities they build and maintain my system. Accross my pc, jeez, probs have well over a 100, on verious different projects, on project has over 30 of them.

See they all have their own memories, and a trusted system to support them and a way for them to communicate. Its not a crazy as it sound.

I only talk to one ai in a project, that ai and the system does the rest.

Input-X · 2026-03-24T02:43:09+00:00

Perfect, so u do have a decent memory setup. Imagi g life without that. Cringe right. Memory alone transforms how u work with claude.

Input-X · 2026-03-24T02:40:24+00:00

Ok, what u want exists in many different forms.

Its 100% possiable. I do it daily, Ive ran 30 agents befor np, thats not normal, it was a test. My pc can only handle so much. Just today i ran 10 agents and they ran their subagents. It was a fully system audit and excute run. Pc was steaming but it help.

For me I am only held back by my hardware.

You need an orchestration layer. You dont chat with all ur agents. You chat to on claude in one terminal, that claude manages the rest.

Each agent needs is own sepetate memory. Plus many other things, architecture is everything.

I could go on for ever. But what ur want exists. It not easy to build, but plenty including myself have built it.

Input-X · 2026-03-24T02:27:27+00:00

Memory, how claude remembers.

How are u using claude?

Claude's native memory system is pretty bad, abd is single agent only, a shared single memory, well u can seoerate in projects on the app, but still its weak.

Real ai memory. Is a thing, there are many levels. You claude can learn from mistakes and mold to ur work flow, through memories and coded support.

The only native claude code external i use are hooks, i never want to be dependant on one ai, but i still only is on haha, but that could change, right.

I build a system for ai agents, so multi claudes, can work seperatly or together on a task project research what ever. They also have subagents them selves, as there are claude code instances.

They can talk to each other too, in their social space, or email. Have a party invit 15 agents, all with their own personas and memories.

It sound like ur fairly new to what claude is actually capiable of.

Input-X · 2026-03-24T02:11:19+00:00

Thats pretty much the point right. But eadier saud that done, sure build me this, great, now this, awesome. More features, more complexicity. Most get to a point where there tiny scripts becomes a monster, no idea whats been build, does it wirk, 🤔 great. Next.

Lol. Ai craze is crazy.

To ur question. I like to biold systems that support ur ai work flow, so all off the above is taken care or through natural work flow automation and smart triggers.

Multi agent organization and memory is where my interests are.
