| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Syntax today. |
| 0:03.0 | We're going to be talking about S-tier MCP servers for developers. |
| 0:08.4 | These are going to be MCP servers that work really well in general development flows |
| 0:13.1 | to help you build stuff, to make things, to vibe code, any of that. |
| 0:17.8 | And by no means is this an exhaustive list or anything like that? But these are a |
| 0:22.9 | handful of MCP servers that I've used personally that I have really enjoyed and that have made |
| 0:29.5 | my time working in code a lot better with agents. My name is Scott Tolensky. I'm a developer from |
| 0:35.8 | Denver. With me as always is West Boss. What's up, |
| 0:38.3 | Wes? Hey, stoked to talk about this. Feels like we've had a bazillion MCP episodes, but there's just |
| 0:44.3 | like this never-ending well of stuff to talk about, especially now like OpenAI just announced a whole bunch |
| 0:49.7 | of their agents' SDK. We'll have a show on that, but it's never ending. Yes, it's never |
| 0:56.0 | ending. And one thing that I've personally felt is that, like, yes, MCP to me always seem like |
| 1:03.0 | an interesting idea, something that could be really advantageous to use. But we have sort of |
| 1:09.3 | reached a point where MCP servers are doing so much and so many |
| 1:14.7 | good things, they've gotten really good that I'm finding their utility to be more and more |
| 1:21.0 | something that I rely on every single day when I am using agents to code. |
| 1:30.3 | I actually, we should have Kent C Dodds on the show. |
| 1:32.7 | He's been doing a ton with MCP servers. And he and I chatted a whole bunch at the VSCode Insider Summit about MCP. |
| 1:38.3 | And his thoughts on MCP overall had like really shaped how much I've dove into adding these tools into my |
| 1:46.9 | workflow lately and it has really paid off. So before we get going, let's talk about Century. |
| 1:54.9 | This show is presented by Century. Century.I.O. 4.S.Syscine up again two months for free. What is Century? It's the perfect place to fix your bugs. Make sure your application's running smooth. I'm going to talk about a newer MCP server that they've released recently beyond the just the already awesome Century MCP server that is like awesome. |
| 2:17.7 | S-tier development tool. |
