A 2026 walkthrough for wiring RAG into Claude Code 2.1.x: when agentic grep stops scaling, how to attach a hybrid BM25 + dense vector MCP server, how to wrap a retrieval CLI in a custom skill, and how Anthropic's contextual embeddings technique pushes recall above 92%. Anchored to claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-7, and Claude Context 0.x.

Build a project-scoped Claude Code subagent that drives Playwright in a real browser, scoped to its own MCP server so the main session never sees the 25 browser_* tools. Covers the .claude/agents/browser-tester.md frontmatter, mcpServers inline definition, allowed tool list, isolation: worktree, the Playwright Test Agents init flow, and the Sonnet-vs-Haiku model choice.

Wire an EF Core 10 DbContext into a Model Context Protocol server so Claude Code, Cursor, or any compliant client can run safe, scoped queries against your database. Covers IDbContextFactory lifetime, read-only projections, schema discovery tools, AsNoTracking, parameterised filters, row-level scoping, and the destructive-tool gates you need before letting an agent touch UPDATE.

Cursor's new @cursor/sdk public beta exposes the same runtime, harness, and models that drive the desktop app, CLI, and web UI as a TypeScript package. You get sandboxed cloud VMs, subagents, hooks, MCP, and token-based pricing in a few lines of code.

Microsoft's new Microsoft.AgentGovernance package wraps MCP tool calls with a policy kernel, a security scanner, and a response sanitizer. Here is what each piece does and how the wiring looks in C#.

Take an existing Semantic Kernel plugin with [KernelFunction] methods and turn it into a Model Context Protocol server other agents can call. Covers the drop-in WithTools(kernel) bridge, the native [McpServerTool] rewrite, parameter binding, dependency injection, and the gotchas that bite during the cutover.

cowork-terminal-mcp v0.4.1 bridges Claude Cowork's sandboxed VM to your host shell. One tool, stdio transport, hard-pinned Git Bash on Windows.

Build a working Model Context Protocol server in C# 14 / .NET 11 using the official ModelContextProtocol 1.2 SDK. Covers stdio transport, [McpServerTool] attributes, dependency injection, the stderr logging trap, and registration with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and VS Code.

Build a working Model Context Protocol server in Python using the official mcp 1.27 SDK and FastMCP. Covers Pydantic schemas, the stdio stdout trap, mcp dev / mcp install, and registration with Claude Desktop and Claude Code.

Step-by-step guide to wrapping any command-line tool as a Model Context Protocol server using the TypeScript SDK 1.29. Covers the stdout trap, child_process patterns, error propagation, and a full working git server.
