I Finally Understand What MCP Is For
If you’re a developer, you’ve probably heard about MCP — the Model Context Protocol. It’s the hottest thing in AI, and posts and videos about it are appearing everywhere.

Normally I prefer causing trouble to getting in trouble, but this time the temptation is just too great. In my last blog post, I described how I made an Android app that was a front-end on the ICNDB web site, the Internet Chuck Norris Database, only to receive a take-down email from Patton Boggs, LLP,…
