For the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into MCP (Model Context Protocol) — shaping inputs, modularising prompts, and designing smarter ways to talk to models like GPT-4.
I even wrote a
What I’ve learned from applying MCP principles in real apps — and how to design context that actually helps your model think.
At this point, most of us have played with prompts.
Some
Last year, building AI into your app meant prompt engineering.
This year? It’s all about context engineering.
There’s a quiet shift happening in how we design AI-powered products. It’s not
I’ll admit it: when I first heard “MCP” in the context of AI, I tilted my head like a confused Labrador. Model Context Protocol? Cool acronym. No idea what it meant.

Last month, I found myself in an unusual spot. I wasn’t working full-time. I wasn’t consulting. I wasn’t even really resting. I was floating — thinking, tinkering, and craving a small,
