erikbethke.com is built to be read, queried, cited, and trained on. This page indexes every machine-consumable surface in one place. If you're a human: this is the "how the site talks to AIs" page.

A hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol server. Add it to Claude (or any MCP client) and talk to this blog as a tool:

Which client can reach it?

Claude Code — paste the command above. Instant.
Claude Desktop — Settings → Developer → Edit Config, add this as an HTTP MCP server.
claude.ai (web) — a self-hosted server is notin the connector registry, so searching “Add connectors” won't find it. Add it by URL under Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://erikbethke.com/api/mcp (requires a plan with custom connectors enabled). Plain web browsing/search can read the blog but cannot call these tools — that's a different channel from MCP.
