Actually useful MCPs

I'm a web developer and find the playwright MCP to be genuinely useful. My LLM is able to navigate my site, measure the size of elements, see console errors, network requests, etc. This is the only MCP I've ever installed and haven't yet had any cause to use others. But I'm interested in hearing what other professionals are using.

    I'm not using any yet. I might use the Playwright MCP except that on exe.dev, the agent already has Chrome integration.

        Uh, I haven't tested with it. But I'm just working on my own personal websites and I'm unlikely to do anything fancy that would break it. I should check that sometime.

    For anyone out there using Linear for project management, me and my team have found their MCP integration incredibly useful. When tasks are small and well defined, Claude can generally do a B+ implementation with no other context than “read this linear issue and get to work.” Of course, YMMV, and I’d imagine it depends a lot on how heavily your team uses Linear day-to-day.

    Not for development but I integrate with Hevy to let an LLM manage my gym workouts. It monitors my progressive overload progression, plans around my other sports, if I miss a workout it’ll redistribute my exercises, things like that.
