Re:Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production? on Friday September 04, 2026 @05:05AM (#49562233)
Linear MCP, custom made Node-RED MCP and a custom made ERP vendor MCP.

All prove great value.

Not only Opus, here's Fumble 5:

Every time I enter an elevator, I wonder whether it will be the first one I've come across that supports deselect.
I'm currently rolling out Matt Pocock's Sandcastle project so that I can have those brakes removed. What will be left is just the grilling(/wayfinding).

My current flow heavily relies on Matt Pocock's Skills and Sandcastle project. I find them highly valuable in practice: grilling(/wayfind) into a spec and extract issues. Those live in Linear projects. I'm pointing my Sandcastle set-up at such Linear projects (or loose issues), which results in an MR.

Currently at the point of self-improving the prompts and Sandcastle set-up with a retrospective pass of the logs.

Building a multi-app monorepo for apps which integrate with a Dutch ERP vendor. I'd say the size of those apps is fairly small.

Also building out an MCP server.

My workflow is also highly inspired by Matt's skills, but I'm leveraging Linear instead of Github.

/grill-me (back-and-forth alignment with the LLM) --> /write-a-prd (creates project under an initative in Linear) --> /prd-to-issues (creates issues at the project level). I'm making use of the blockedBy utility when registering the issues. They land in the 'Ready for Agent' status.

A scheduled project-orchestrator is then picking up issues with this status leveraging subagents. A HITL (Human in the loop) status is set on the ticket when anything needs my attention. I consider the code as the 'what', so I let the agent(s) update the issues with the HOW and WHY. All using Claude Code Max subscription.

Some notes:

- write-a-prd is knowledge compression and thus some important details occasionally get lost

- The UX for the orchestrator flow is suboptimal. Waiting for this actually: https://github.com/mattpocock/sandcastle/issues/191#issuecom...

- I might have to implement a simplify + review + security audit, call it a 'check', to fire at the end of the project. Could be in the form of an issue.

What is being researched? Any objective?
