Gave Claude Code the whole WSL lifecycle over MCP: create, configure, run and package distros (and Linux VMs on macOS)
The maintainer of WSL Manager, an open-source GUI for Windows Subsystem for Linux, released version 2.0 with a built-in MCP server and reports using it with Claude Code. The MCP tools expose the full WSL lifecycle to AI coding agents, from distro creation to packaging and removal.

AI Overview
- WSL Manager 2.0's open-source MCP server lets Claude Code create, configure, run, and package WSL distros plus macOS Linux VMs

MCP from the POV of a Backend Engineer
A Medium post by a backend engineer frames MCP servers as ordinary backends that simply serve a different kind of client.

wbox-mcp: sandboxed GUI automation MCP server that runs apps in an isolated Wayland box instead of taking over your desktop
wbox-mcp is an open-source MCP server for computer-use automation by LLMs like Claude. Instead of controlling the user's real mouse, keyboard, and screen, it runs the target app inside a nested Wayland compositor so automation is fully isolated. This lets developers run GUI-automating agents without losing control of their own desktop.

What I Learned Building My First MCP Server
A Medium post recounts a developer's first experience building an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. The author reports the core feature took one day to build, while making it safe consumed the rest of the week. For practitioners adopting MCP, it offers a firsthand data point that tool-safety work dominates server development effort.

Claude Code control center with multi-session terminal and config UI
A free, open-source desktop app that provides a graphical interface for Claude Code. It lets users run multiple Claude Code sessions in a split-pane terminal grid, edit all configuration files (settings.json, CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json, subagents, slash commands) from one UI, and switch model/effort/permission settings without typing commands. All data stays local.
