☕ MCP Morning — Wed, Oct 14, 2026

New MCP servers, one agent story, one config to paste. ~3 min.

🔥 Trending & new MCPs

1. SolidCraft — open-source parametric 3D CAD in pure Rust, with a built-in MCP server (solidcraft-cli mcp) so agents can model, measure and inspect parts headless. Why it matters: the #1 MCP launch on Hacker News in the last 48h (133 points). CAD is a new frontier for agent tooling. Claude Code: claude mcp add solidcraft -- solidcraft-cli mcp · ⭐ 1,847

2. moodle-mcp — lets agents use a real Moodle LMS: courses, assignments, forums, grades, files as markdown. Created Oct 12. Why it matters: brand new, and the README says it was tested live against Moodle 3.7 → 5.x. Useful for students, TAs and edtech builders. · ⭐ 11

3. codebase-memory-mcp — a local MCP server that indexes your repo into a persistent code knowledge graph (162 languages, single static binary). Why it matters: the project reports ~120× fewer tokens than reading files one by one in its five-query comparison. If your Claude Code bill hurts, try this. · ⭐ 46,526

4. chrome-devtools-mcp — the official Chrome DevTools server for coding agents. Why it matters: your agent can open the page, read the console and check the network tab, so it can confirm its own frontend fix. Config below 👇 · ⭐ 53,481

🗞️ Agent news

AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software (Ars Technica) A Harvard study of Jellyfish data covering 700+ software firms found that adopting AI coding agents brought +30% lines of code, +20% commits and +23% PRs. It found no significant change in Jira issue or epic resolution. Review time grew 49%, and the share of PRs needing changes nearly doubled. Takeaway: the bottleneck is now review, so put your time into tests and review tooling. (HN discussion)

📋 Copy-paste config: Chrome DevTools MCP

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (Cursor) or claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chrome-devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Only need basic browsing? The README's slim mode uses "args": ["-y", "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest", "--slim", "--headless"]. Source: official README.
