​
Example Workflows

​
Research & Monitoring

Use multiple MCP servers together to gather information: 
# Set up servers for different sources
mcpkit create https://news.ycombinator.com
mcpkit create https://github.com
mcpkit create https://reddit.com

# Then ask Claude to:
# "Search HN, GitHub, and Reddit for discussions about NextJS 14"

​
Project Management Automation

Automate your workflow across tools: 
# Set up authenticated sites
mcpkit contexts create mcpkit.sh
mcpkit contexts create github.com

mcpkit create https://mcpkit.sh --skip-auth
mcpkit create https://github.com --skip-auth

# Then ask Claude to automate workflows across platforms

​
Content Curation

Gather and organize content from multiple sources: 
mcpkit create https://news.ycombinator.com
mcpkit create https://medium.com
mcpkit create https://dev.to

# Then ask Claude to:
# "Find the top 5 articles about React Hooks from HN, Medium, and DEV"

Best Practices from Examples

​
1. Start Simple

Begin with public websites that don’t require authentication: 
# Good first examples
mcpkit create https://news.ycombinator.com
mcpkit create https://producthunt.com
mcpkit create https://reddit.com

​
2. Save Authentication Contexts

For sites you use frequently, save contexts: 
# Authenticate once
mcpkit create https://mcpkit.sh

# Reuse later
mcpkit create https://mcpkit.sh --skip-auth

​
3. Test Individual Tools

Use the MCP Inspector to test tools before using in production: 
cd mcp-stagehand-example.com
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

​
4. Combine Multiple Servers

Use multiple MCP servers together for powerful workflows:
  • Research: HN + Reddit + Substack
  • Development: GitHub + Stack Overflow + Dev.to
  • Content: Medium + Substack + Hashnode

​
Tips for Success

Pro Tips

Learn from successful MCPKit users:
  1. Be specific with URLs - Use the exact page where actions happen 
    # Instead of homepage
mcpkit create https://mcpkit.sh/team/issues
  2. Complete authentication fully - Including 2FA before continuing
  3. Test in Inspector first - Validate tools before production use
  4. Handle rate limits - Add delays between rapid requests
  5. Keep contexts fresh - Refresh authentication periodically
