If you’re using Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any other AI tool with MCP servers, you’ve probably got API keys sitting in plain text config files, servers running unverified npm packages, and tool descriptions that could be manipulated to make your AI do things you didn’t intend.

Unlike chat interfaces where you ask questions and get answers, Claude Code can actually do things on your computer—read files, write code, run commands, and deploy infrastructure. Think of it as pair programming with an AI that can type. ...
This is where I’ll be writing about AI, technology, and where things are headed. More to come.
