Optimizing MCP Usage: Patterns for Building, Enhancing, and Debugging with CIDX MCP
1. Creating New Applications
Use the MCP to accelerate setup and architecture planning.
“Create a dashboard using React and D3.js. Use the MCP to find starter templates and data binding patterns.”
“Spin up a Next.js and Tailwind CSS project with animations. Refer to the MCP for setup and animation integration examples.”
2. Adding New Features
MCP helps identify best practices and relevant code snippets fast.
“Add real-time chat to our app using WebSockets. Search the MCP for integration guides and performance tips.”
“Implement internationalization (i18n) support in our site—consult MCP to find libraries and configuration examples.”
3. Fixing Bugs and Refactoring
Let MCP guide troubleshooting, patching, and improving code quality.
“Resolve a layout bug in mobile Safari. Search the MCP for Tailwind and cross-browser layout fixes.”
“Refactor our data fetching logic to improve performance. Use MCP to explore best practices in SWR or React Query.”
4. Integrations and Auth
MCP aids in correctly wiring third-party services.
“Set up GitHub OAuth login for our web app. Use MCP to locate the latest secure integration flow.”
“Add Stripe for payment processing—check the MCP for secure webhook and checkout patterns.”
