Original: 3 MCP servers I actually use daily (and how to set them up)
Short summary
Author shares three MCP servers (filesystem, GitHub, PostgreSQL) running in Claude Desktop with setup instructions and real-world usage examples. Each takes 2 minutes to install and enables Claude to read files, check PRs, and query databases directly. Security note: configure filesystem paths carefully.
- •MCP servers extend Claude Desktop: filesystem for code access, GitHub for PR reviews, PostgreSQL for direct queries
- •Each server installs in 2 minutes via mcp-hub CLI and claude_desktop_config.json setup
- •Real usage examples show practical workflows; security warning about filesystem path permissions
