Is anyone using MCP in non-coding workflows?

Feels like it makes for good marketing videos, but hard to make useful in practice.

Introducing: Notion MCP Server (hosted, v2)

We worked with the @cursor_ai team to rebuild our MCP from the ground up:
- 1-click OAuth install for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor...
- inventing a Notion-flavored Markdown that combines the power of Notion blocks with the compactness https://t.co/JbHyLeURPD

Doing lots of non-code stuff, mostly on the back of Claude Code but also using Gemini CLI and OAI API calls. A few MCPs but also some important CLI tools

Main use is a link ingestion tool that summarizes and documents the ideas behind a link, then sends me a summary email. Leverages Gmail AutoAuth MCP and Serena MCP and Filesystem. Playwright for screenshots if necessary. 

Also updates the Obsidian vault I gave it with the new learnings from the links and creates [[backlinks]] between md files. I have a separate (non-MCP) tools inside Obsidian to create semantic links. Kind of like a link keeper with automatic pattern tagging. Leveraging https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp, backlog.md, github actions (for PR)s, and a few others which are just CLI tools. 

The goal with the tool is to leverage links to develop the knowledge graph and create a context-rich personalized browsing/reading/wandering history. It's similar to my own personal flow of breaking down and ingesting links, which I used to store in Roam, and then Tana, and now Obsidian.
