Technology CLI-Anything: Make Any Software Agent-Native [2026]
CLI-Anything wraps any app in a thin command-line shim so AI agents can drive it like grep or git. Here's how it works, why CLIs beat prompt DSLs, and where it fits next to MCP.
Technology REA: Reverse Engineer Anything With AI Agents [2026]
REA is the open-source MCP server that lets Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor reverse-engineer binaries, Electron apps, APKs, and live browsers. Here's what it does, how to set it up, and the legal line nobody else is drawing.
Developer Tools MCP vs Function Calling in Agents [2026]: When to Say No
MCP backlash is real. Here’s my decision framework for when to use MCP vs function calling in agents, and when a bespoke tool API beats both on ops, security, and debugging.
Cybersecurity MCP OAuth Security: Tool Impersonation, aud Mismatch, Token Replay [2026]
A threat model for MCP tool servers using OAuth: how tool impersonation and audience mismatch happen, how tokens get replayed, and what to validate and log in 2026.
Frontend and Mobile How to Build a Browser Based AI Agent (Safe-by-Default) [2026]
A practical browser AI agent architecture that stays local: Worker planner, Wasm sandbox, IndexedDB memory, and a service worker tool bridge with real guardrails.
Cybersecurity MCP Server Security Best Practices: Checklist + CI Linter [2026]
A practical MCP server security test plan: authn/authz models, tool allowlists, prompt-injection regression tests, rate limits, audit logs, and a CI-friendly permissions linter.
Cybersecurity How to Implement OWASP Agentic Top 10 Controls [2026]
A control-by-control guide to OWASP agentic top 10 controls: where to gate tool calls (MCP/client/server), what to log, what to block, and what belongs in CI vs runtime.
Developer Tools How to Secure MCP Servers: Auth + AuthZ [2026 Tutorial]
A gateway-grade blueprint for MCP servers: authenticated discovery, PKCE/OAuth done right, tool-scoped permissions, audit logs, rate limits, and secret handling—with runnable Node/Express code.
Cybersecurity LLM Supply Chain Security Checklist: Lock Down Agents [2026]
A CI-ready checklist to treat models, MCP servers, tool plugins, and prompt packs as real dependencies. Pin, sign, attest, sandbox, and monitor before your agent ships malware.
Technology Claude Code Security [2026]: Risks, Safe Setup, Team Policy
Claude Code is safe only if you treat it like a junior engineer with terminal access. Here’s the 2026 playbook: permissions, sandboxing, egress controls, MCP allowlists, retention settings, and incident response.
AI and Machine Learning MCP vs OpenAI Function Calling 2026: Which Tool Protocol Wins?
MCP wins for multi-model, cross-vendor agent ecosystems; OpenAI function calling wins for teams already deep in the OpenAI stack. Your choice depends on how vendor-locked you're willing to be.
AI and Machine Learning MCP: The USB-C of AI — How Model Context Protocol Is Connecting Everything
From a quiet Anthropic open-source release to 100 million downloads per month, MCP is becoming the universal standard for connecting AI agents to tools and data.
