  A lot of people use MCP servers to connect Claude to tools. I'm not generally a fan. MCP servers load a lot of information into context and often don't do everything that the API can.

• How to use ApyHub to Build a Serverless Function in NodeJs?

  Once deployed, thoroughly test your serverless function to confirm it behaves as expected. Invoke the function manually from the cloud platform’s console or use tools like Postman, Apidog, or Fusion ( Fusion is ApyHub’s own API Client ) to test HTTP-triggered functions. Ensure the function executes correctly and handles errors gracefully. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
