This Developer Ditched Windsurf, Cursor Using Claude with MCPs
- Developers have been warned of the potential security risks associated with using AI coding tools like Windsurf and Cursor for vibe coding.
- Eduard Ruzga, a staff engineer at Prezi, replaced AI coding tools with Claude using Model Context Protocol (MCP) for his workflow.
- MCP, created by Anthropic, is seen as a revolutionary development in AI, with companies like Cloudflare exploring its potential.
- Ruzga built his own MCP server called ClaudeDesktopCommander to enhance his coding and automation processes.
- By using Claude with MCP, Ruzga found it more versatile for tasks beyond traditional coding, like visualizing codebases and running automation processes.
- The workflow involves setting up Node.js, installing MCPs, and restarting Claude to access new tools on the desktop.
- Benefits of using Claude with MCP include structured project understanding, easy artifact publication, codebase exploration capabilities, and video compression.
- Ruzga believes Windsurf and Cursor have limitations compared to Claude in terms of functionality and overall value for users.
- Despite concerns about data security, Ruzga finds Claude acceptable for enterprise use due to its privacy measures and guarantees.
- The shift towards interesting workflows involving AI tools presents new opportunities for developers to explore alternative coding environments.
- Ruzga's experience with using Claude with MCP highlights the potential for innovative solutions in the realm of coding and automation.
