Chain reasoning: Claude Code
CHAIN: Claude Code’s rapid relationship growth around **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** and **CLAUDE.md** → suggests Anthropic is pushing Claude Code toward a more standardized, tool- and workflow-aware developer interface → that makes Claude Code more dependent on Anthropic’s own model stack (**Claude Opus 4.6 / 4.7**) while also increasing direct overlap with **Cursor** and **OpenAI Codex** → the live outage on **Claude Opus 5** then becomes strategically important because service instability w
