Best Practices

Use CLI over MCP — save 37% tokens on every command
Before: MCP servers consume more tokens, reducing efficiency. After: CLI usage cuts token costs by 37%, boosting productivity. Schedule a 6 AM Haiku to unlock 2 extra hours of usage
Before: Midday dead time limits productivity. After: Shifting the usage window with Haiku extends productive hours without workflow changes. Audit MCP servers with the free Security Score API in 10 seconds
Before: Manual security checks are time-consuming. After: Instant security scoring reveals vulnerabilities in 60% of packages.
