A PILE OF MCP CONNECTORS IS NOT A CONTEXT ENGINE

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Your team connected Slack, Jira and GitHub over MCP, and engineers still spend their time steering agents to the right answer. This article looks at why: connectors fetch from one tool at a time, so every agent stitches the pieces together itself, trusts the first doc that looks right, and adds a search to your token bill each time. Read what changes when a context engine sits on top of your connectors: the same coding task finished 83% faster at 48% lower cost.
