Your coding agent knows your codebase. It knows nothing about your users.

Your coding agent knows your codebase. It knows nothing about your users.

Short summary

A product builder exposes their feedback board over MCP so coding agents like Claude Code can read user demand signals directly. Key design decisions include limiting to seven tools (five read, two write), scoping tokens to single workspaces, and keeping write actions non-destructive. The core insight: MCP lets agents discover and chain tools themselves, unlike REST APIs where you build the integration glue.

  • MCP enables agents to self-discover and chain tools, unlike REST where you write the glue
  • Limit exposed tools to reduce agent errors, context bloat, and blast radius
  • Scope auth tokens to single workspaces; prefer cheap-to-reverse write actions
