News Summary

• This summer, I’ve been playing a bit with writing an MCP server for Defold editor.
• The idea was to give Claude access to evaluating Lua code in the editor scripting context, so it can use the APIs available for querying and modifying game content.
• The best word to describe the experience is entertaining — it has a very vague idea of the available APIs, and prefers to experiment by evaluating code instead of browsing documentation.
• It was entertaining because it was inaccurate, but still trying really hard, and eventually succeeding.
• I think, as novelty wears off and agentic LLM approaches mature, the need for accuracy will increase dramatically.
