Not only is this a boon for our clients,
I have now been delegating data entry tasks to AI which can use the MCP connectors to much more effectively take tedious work off my plate.
For our purposes yes, and the MCP.cr repos isn’t maintained. We moved everything we use into action_controller to reduce duplication of effort and drift
Can’t recommend spider-gazelle enough, I’ve been experimenting with it at work and it’s been absolutely great!
Many popular Crystal frameworks take a heavy inspiration from the Ruby ecosystem because of the similarity of the syntax, and I’ve always felt that because of it they left one of the strongest features of the language on the table, which is the type system. Spider-gazelle is the opposite, it’s not only very type-safe, but it also leverages the type information to give you a bunch of other niceties.
It’s hability to automatically generate OpenAPI specs for the app is a game changer. It allows you to automatically generate clients, interactive documentation and mocks that are always in pair with the served app. Being able to automatically generate a type-safe client for the front-end team became so important for us at work that we choose frameworks by this feature alone.
I haven’t played with the new MCP features yet, but they look really nice too. Overall, a great framework! Can’t thank the maintainers enough for it!
