Claude, TypingMind, AMP & MCP Servers: The Future Dev

Description

How do you give an agent the same visibility a human developer has, without giving it full control? Alan Pope, Senior Developer Advocate at Tessl, explains how Model Context Protocols (MCPs) give AI agents structured access to dev environments, enabling tools like Claude Code and TypingMind to read, build, and execute safely under human oversight. On the docket: • how MCPs enable hybrid collaboration, letting agents take controlled actions inside local environments while surfacing every change for review • the era of “vibe coding” is fading, with developers moving towards intentional, spec-driven prompting for precise results • outdated or abandoned MCPs are turning into hidden liabilities • how developers are uploading personal knowledge bases to let AI generate content that matches their authentic tone and style AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI. Tune in as we engage with engineers, founders, and open-source innovators to talk all things AI, security, and development.
