About

Hi I'm Cole Medin and I'm your guy for learning how to make a huge impact with AI agents and AI coding assistants. AI is no doubt the future of not just software development but the whole world. And I'm on a mission to master it and share everything with you. Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI. I'll be uploading videos weekly - at least every Wednesday at 7:00 PM CDT!

Video Description

Everyone knows that if you aren’t using an AI coding assistant, you are going to fall behind no matter what you are developing. But what people usually don’t know is how to actually use AI coding assistants (Windsurf, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, etc.) effectively. Having a well defined process for coding with AI is crucial to consistently get high quality output, and a huge part of that is having the right MCP servers. In this video, I'll show you my top 3 MCP servers I swear by that I use no matter what I'm coding. These are the servers I won't live without, and yeah, if you start using them yourself, I'm pretty sure it'll be the same for you. :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you're a lean business looking to compete with companies 10x your size, check out Databutton - the AI app builder for businesses that you can use to replace an entire development team: https://databutton.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the full RAG AI Agent example I built in this video with Windsurf + my 3 top MCP servers: https://github.com/coleam00/ottomator-agents/tree/main/foundational-rag-agent My full process for using AI coding assistants: https://youtu.be/SS5DYx6mPw8 And here is the Google Doc I cover in that video for my full process: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12ATcyjCEKh8T-MPDZ-VMiQ1XMa9FUvvk2QazrsKoiR8 Crawl4AI (RAG) MCP Server: https://github.com/coleam00/mcp-crawl4ai-rag Brave MCP Server: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/brave-search Supabase MCP Server: https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-mcp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 00:00 - Introducing My Top 3 MCP Servers 01:10 - MCP Server for RAG (Documentation Knowledge) 02:37 - MCP Server for DB Management (like Supabase) 03:42 - MCP Server for Advanced Web Search 05:13 - Installing the MCP Servers in Our AI IDE 07:00 - Databutton 08:34 - Building a Full AI Agent with Our MCP Servers 14:28 - Results after Our First Prompt 15:59 - Final Results & Demo 19:14 - Final Thoughts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI.
