I had a similar experience with the read-only Postgres MCP. Just asked Claude "how can I optimise the performance of my database?" and boom, it checked missing indexes, most used tables, work_mem, etc and gave personalized suggestions that made sense. It even used data provided by the `pg_stat_statements` extension automatically.

As simple as MCP conceptually can be, nothing like that was this simple and efficient before MCPs. It's a truly game-changer.

Check out also https://github.com/xataio/agent which builds on this idea in the form of a dedicated agent for Postgres.

Disclaimer: I’ve worked on this project.

The biggest game-changer is that whatever MCP server I need, I can just ask Claude to code it.

agreed if openai doesn't give their custom GPTs access to local stuff or implement MCP I might switch to claude soon
