Oh the pain when you get AI rate-limited and have to switch from 'agent' to ask/chat mode. #ai

New Post/Package: An MCP Server for @haveibeenpwned.com to plug into your @vscode.dev GitHub Copilot / Claude Desktop Clients. Query HIBP using natural language. blog.darrenjrobinson.com/a-have-i-bee...

To learn more about MCP Servers I built a @haveibeenpwned.com MCP Server using Claude as the Client. Super impressed with how quick this was to actually build with the help of a copilot. Even respecting your API Plan for rate-limiting.
