The last article was when I would leave the DOM. This one is the object. Drag it. Switch glass to chrome. The GPU paints the SKU; the copy around it stays HTML. How I wire that island in Next.js – and why it still does not live on the homepage.
MCP is the USB port for AI tools: a model lists functions, calls them with a schema, and gets data back. It is not a chatbot and it is not a reason to buy a gateway. When a ten-person company should wire it this month, when a form is still the right product, and how I would connect Figma, Next.js, and a bounded agent.
ChatGPT is down and the deadline is not. How to tell in five minutes what actually broke, what to switch to, when a local model helps, and which work you should still be able to do with no LLM at all.
