Hey everyone,
I'm looking to dive into using Claude Code as I move forward with my programming projects, now that it's available through Pro subscriptions. I'm mainly focused on areas like JavaScript, specifically using frameworks like ExpressJS and NextJS, with our pipelines set up in ADO. I want to leverage Claude Code to help streamline writing the code I need for our requirements.
Could anyone share recommendations on the best MCPs to hook Claude Code into for optimizing its effectiveness given my tech stack?

If you're looking for more of an all-in-one solution, you might want to check out Dockfork MCP. It connects you to over 9000+ libraries with just one tool call instead of two! You can find it on GitHub here: [Dockfork MCP](https://github.com/docfork/mcp).
From what I've experienced, the best approach is to connect Claude Code with command line tools instead of traditional MCPs. Ensure you can run all your pipelines and test suites directly from the command line. By doing this, you'll have a solid framework where Claude can assist you, and make sure your CLAUDE.md includes instructions on how to use those tools effectively!
I'm in a similar situation, and I have a CLAUDE.md set up that automates committing, testing, and building. Any tasks need to pass those tests before the commit goes through, which Claude handles well. It's helped me out a lot, though I still have to tweak things occasionally.
I'm new to this—could you explain what 'command line tools' are?
How does Dockfork compare to Context7 in terms of functionality?
