From Zero to MCP: How I Automated My Entire Workflow

Before MCP

Every task was manual:

  • Write SQL, copy results, paste in chat
  • Open files one by one for AI to read
  • Manually create GitHub issues
  • Check servers in terminal

After MCP

Everything happens in one chat:

  • Hey Claude, what are the top selling products this month?
  • Read the config file and tell me what needs fixing
  • Create an issue for this bug
  • Check if the container is running

The Setup

I installed 5 MCP servers in 10 minutes:

  1. PostgreSQL — database queries
  2. Filesystem — file access
  3. GitHub — repo management
  4. Docker — container status
  5. Brave Search — web lookup

Finding Tools

Browse 900+ at mcphello.com with quality scores and one-click install.

The Result

I went from 2 hours of context switching per day to near zero. MCP is a game changer.
