It is a great tool, thank you, I like using it, as it gives claude an ability to do surgical edits, making it more like a human developer.

Life saver! I was paying for both Claude + Cursor which felt duplicated. This solves that perfectly. With MCP + web search, it writes code with the latest updates. So good when Cursor doesn't work or fast requests run out.

I had 76 errors in 23 files in my Svelte 5 project. Used desktop-commander, sequentialthinking, and tree-sitter to fix them all. Never resolved type errors this quickly with AI before!

Switched from Windsurf to Claude MCP and love it! No more token limits or cascade issues. Can code as much as I want without worrying about costs. This is much more than just code editing!

Been using this MCP daily for a couple of months now and onboarded a bunch of buddies onto it as well, a go to in my arsenal, great work!!

Played with DesktopCommander today, replaced FileServer and continued my project. The diff-based editing is awesome - could continue longer in the same chat before hitting limits. Great!
