Learning to build a personal website with AI
Currently, I don't know how to code and am learning how to build my own personal website from scratch using AI.
I am documenting everything I learn about building a website using AI on this blog.
First thing I am covering is Model Context Protocol (MCP).
MCP is a universal connector that made scaling simpler.
Before 2025, if we wanted to connect our database, files, an app, etc. to an AI tool, we would need a custom integration with each connection we would make. Scaling was complex.
Anthropic changed that when it introduced MCP to the world in late 2024.
Here's an example that explains it simply:
[assuming 1 separate MCP servers per database]
1 AI tool, 5 databases
- With MCP: 6 connections
- Without MCP: 5 connections
2 AI tools, 5 databases
- with MCP: 7 connections
- without MCP: 10 connections
3 AI tools, 5 databases
- with mcp: 8 connections
- without mcp: 15 connections
20 AI tools, 5 databases
- with MCP: 25 connections
- without MCP: 100 connections
