…DR:* *16-year Evernote user (\~16,000 notes, full GTD system) here. The Claude MCP connection is the missing piece I’d always wanted. It sits on top and joins your notes up with email, calendar, files, and the wider web. Critically: it doesn’t replace me in GTD. GTD absolutely only works when you’re personally in it…

By enabling these 20 Claude Connectors, you can remove all friction between your apps and let Claude act…
Wants a free optionManual work…gent. Quick way to get perfect codebase context. Use planning mode. Claude without planning mode is terrible unless you prompt it right (or update its output-style and Claude md files a lot). However, if you start a new chat, put it in planning mode, and then go, Claude will absolutely cook. Don't just blindly approve…
Strong complaint…ons, known issues — and any MCP-compatible tool can read/write to it. No more copy-pasting a CLAUDE.md between tools. It's local-first, SQLite-backed, open source. Right now it's single-project/single-user — logging is manual (log_decision, log_bug_fix, fetch_context). Before I sink more time in: has anyone hit this…
Manual work…tools, data, and workflows was fragmented, brittle, and token-hungry. Every integration required custom glue code. Security was an afterthought. Context windows filled up fast. Agents hallucinated workflows or failed on edge cases. By mid-2026, the landscape has matured dramatically. Three distinct but complementary…
