Redefining Developer Workflows in the AI Era with MCP | Steve Manuel
Description
The risk of letting AI do more than autocomplete? It can quickly spin out of control.
On this episode of AI Native Dev, Steve Manuel, founder and CEO of Dylibso, unpacks MCP, the protocol that keeps AI extensions safe and predictable, and dives into mcp.run, his framework for tapping into shared MCP servers without losing control.
With Simon Maple he shares:
• why plugin-safe AI might be the most significant shift in developer tooling this decade
• how mcp.run isolates compute to prevent AI-driven code from being unpredictable, letting developers experiment without risk
• the practical and surprising ways web-connected agents expand what applications can do, from automating workflows to integrating new capabilities
• why first-party code remains essential even in an AI-native world
