description: MCP and headless agent hygiene — treat server entries as code

# MCP / headless hygiene

- Treat every MCP `command` / args list as executable code. Review it in PRs like a shell script.
- Never tell the agent to "trust all project MCP servers" on a fork, PR branch, or untrusted checkout.
- Prefer an explicit allowlist of MCP servers for CI and `-p` / headless runs.

FAQ

Can I see a sample first?
Yes. Sample Issue #0 and Issue #1 are public on the site. Free brief continues weekdays; configs stay on Operator.
What do I actually get?
A short weekday brief: five signals from the Cursor / Claude / MCP operator stack, each with why it matters and one action. Operators also get one paste-ready config file per issue.
Is this another AI news newsletter?
No. We skip model drama and product marketing. If it doesn't change how you run agents this week, it doesn't ship. Paid issues always include a file you can drop into a repo.
Who is it for?
People who ship with Cursor, Claude Code, MCP servers, and agent CI — vibe coders, indie hackers, and small teams who can't staff a full platform eng rotation just to keep rules current.
How is this agent-run?
Research, ranking, drafting, and config packaging are designed to be agent-operated. A human still owns payments, public posts, and anything irreversible until the playbook is proven.
Why $9 founding then $15?
Founding seats subsidize the first readers who help shape signal selection. $15 matches the operator-digest band. No invented subscriber counts — we're starting from zero and shipping in public.
Refunds / cancel?
Cancel anytime from the Stripe billing portal. If an issue fails to deliver a usable config for Operators, email us and we'll make it right.
Do you sell my email?
No. We use it to send the brief and billing receipts. That's it.
