Claude Code + MCP: Query Databases and Manage GitHub Issues in Plain English

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is what turns Claude Code from a code editor into a full development agent. Connect your database, GitHub repos, and Slack — then control all of them with natural language. What MCP Enables Once configured: "Show me all users who haven't logged in for 30 days" → Claude runs a SQL query against your SQLite database "Assign all Critical-tagged Issues in the v2.0 milestone to me" → GitHub API calls happen automatically "Post the deployment result to #deployments with the version from package.json" → Claude reads the file, then calls the Slack API No switching tabs. No API docs. Just describe what you need.
