MCP vs OpenAPI Plugins vs Custom Tool Calling for AI Agents: Which Should You Pick in 2026?
Use custom tool calling for one app you own end to end, MCP for any integration you want reused across Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT, and OpenAPI plugins only as a bridge when you already have a spec. MCP is the cross-client standard in 2026; plugins are legacy.
Claude Code vs Cursor vs Copilot Agent Mode: Where Each Wins in 2026
Claude Code wins on raw agent quality and predictable flat pricing, Cursor wins as the editor you live in with the best multi-model routing, and GitHub Copilot wins when the work starts and ends on GitHub. The June 2026 token-billing shift is the tiebreaker for cost.
Claude Code vs Cursor vs Aider for a .NET 11 Repo in 2026
For a large .NET 11 / C# 14 solution, Claude Code wins on agent quality and runs anywhere a terminal does. Cursor wins if your team wants a GUI and tab completion, as long as you can live without C# Dev Kit. Aider wins on cost and openness.
Fix: MCP Servers Stopped Working After a Claude Desktop Update on Windows
After an MSIX update, Claude Desktop on Windows reads claude_desktop_config.json from a virtualized path while Edit Config opens the old %APPDATA% one. Edit the file under AppData\Local\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc and restart.
Claude Code's Dynamic Workflows Fan a Single Prompt Out to Up to 1,000 Subagents
Anthropic shipped Opus 4.8 on May 28, 2026 with Dynamic Workflows, a research preview in Claude Code that writes a JavaScript orchestration script to run tens to hundreds of subagents in parallel, capped at 1,000 per run.
Fix: "Claude reached its tool-use limit for this turn"
This banner is a pause, not a failure. It maps to the API's pause_turn stop reason (default 10 server-tool iterations). Click Continue, or in code re-send the assistant response. Full fix here.
The Dart and Flutter MCP server: one command to give Claude Code your running Flutter app
Dart 3.12 ships dart mcp-server, the official MCP bridge into the Dart and Flutter toolchain. Register it once in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex CLI and your agent gets hot reload, pub.dev search, and live widget introspection without copy-pasting a DTD URI.
Fix: HTTP MCP Server URL Won't Connect in Claude Desktop (stdio vs HTTP Transport)
Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json only validates stdio servers. Drop a 'url' field in and it silently strips the entry, crashes on startup, or boots with zero tools. Use a custom connector for remote URLs and mcp-remote as a stdio bridge for local HTTP servers.
