Shawn Wang: evaluation

Transcript context

…I think, no, I don't, I don't think there's special stories. I think a lot of these, not all of them, but a lot of them originated from that hackathon that I mentioned before, where folks got excited about the idea of MCP. People internally inside Anthropik who wanted to have memory or like wanted to play around with the idea could quickly now prototype something using MCP in a way that wasn't possible before. Someone who's not like, you know, you don't have to become the, the end to end expert. You don't have access. You don't have to have access to this. Like, you know. You don't have to have this private, you know, proprietary code base. You can just now extend cloud with this memory capability. So that's how a lot of these came about. And then also just thinking about like, you know, what is the breadth of functionality that we want to demonstrate at launch? Totally. And I think that is partially why it made your launch successful because you launch with a sufficiently spanning set of here's examples and then people just copy paste and expand from there. I would also highlight the file system MCP server only because it has edit file. And basically, I think people were very excited when we had Eric who built your sort of sweet bench projects on the podcast as well. And people were very interested in this sort of like file editing tool that is basically open source via this project. And I think a lot of there's some libraries out there. There's some other implementations that like, you know, this is core IP for them. And now it's just you guys just put it out there. It's just really cool. Yeah. I really, I mean, honestly, the file system server is one of my favorites because I think it really speaks to like a limitation that I was feeling. You know, I was like hacking on a game as a side project and really wanted to connect it to like cloud and artifacts like David talked about before. Just giving cloud or like suddenly being able to give cloud the ability to like actually interact with my local machine was huge. I really love that sort of capability. Yeah. I mean, this is the classic example of like this server directly comes out of the frustration that both created MCP and that server. There was a very clear direct path of like, here's the frustration we're currently having to MCP plus the server that we both felt and Justin in particular. So that regard is close to our heart as like as a spiritual inception point of the protocol itself.…
