AI Agents Weekly Digest - April 19, 2025

MCP Servers, Moats, and Speedy Agent Building

April 20, 2025

Model Context Protocol stays on top + commentary on what moat you can build and a post mortem on the fastest way to build agents.

  1. 7 MCP Servers

    1. Here’s the 7 servers mentioned: Slack, GitHub, Brave (search), Docker, Supabase, DuckDuckGo, and Cloudflare

    2. I’m sure there’s many other useful servers as well, but this is a great start

    3. Matches the commentary from Jon Turow last week - lots of MCP servers, perhaps even more than MCP users

  2. A Moat for AI Agents

    1. This post claims that the real moat for AI Agents will be UI/UX

    2. UI/UX will definitely be part of the moat - but the whole moat? I don’t know about that

    3. Interesting comment about evals being part of the moat as well and the importance of good agent evals (it’s the top comment)

  3. Postmortem of someone’s attempt to build agents

    1. Compared some studio to LangGraph

    2. Sus post history tbh

Not a lot of comments on projects last week, but here’s what came out on top:

  1. A call analyzer

  2. A voice agent that talks to other people’s customer service

    1. soon we will really have “let me agent talk to your agent” be a thing 🤦

  3. Multi agent chat application
