Provisioning worked after two fixes. The MCP hid the real errors, so apply ran through Cursor's Run tool, which suggested the fix.
Terraform via MCP in Cursor
The author used Cursor with the tfmcp MCP server to run terraform init, plan and apply, provisioning a Postgres database, schema and app role locally.
The author migrated 10+ Lambda functions from Node.js 14 to 20 in one pass and fixed a broken docker-compose file by auto-retrying until clean.
Cursor workflows for DevOps
Cursor was used by a DevOps engineer with rules files, MCP plugins, and auto-run commands to refactor configs, debug builds, and migrate infrastructure code.
The author runs 14 containers including Vaultwarden, Immich, Plex, and Readeck, with daily USB and weekly S3 Glacier backups costing about twenty cents per month.
Self-hosted home server setup
Claude Code, installed on a Beelink mini PC over SSH, set up Docker, Caddy, and a set of self-hosted services at home.
The initial sort took a few minutes and left no loose files in the main directory, in about 20 minutes of active work.
Downloads folder cleanup
Claude Cowork scanned a Downloads folder of 2,200 loose files, proposed an 11-folder structure, and sorted the files after the author approved the plan.
Notion now tracks 18 agents and 78 logged runs; separately, an unsubscribe agent cleared 47 vendor mailing lists in two weeks.
Notion control plane for agent fleet
The author built AgentOps, a Notion control plane that tracks, queues, logs, and alerts on their 18 OpenClaw agents.
A dashboard and chatbot that merge tasks from calendar, mail, Linear, GitHub, Slack and meeting notes into one scored, prioritized view the author uses daily.
Daily planning agent across work tools
The author built Plan My Today, a read-only agent and MCP server that pulls tasks from many work tools and prioritizes them for the day.
The author reports Claude Code operated apps that have no API, completing the Calculator-to-Notepad task and saving result.txt to the Desktop.
Claude Code desktop app control
Claude Code, given permission to control the author's Windows PC, opened Calculator, did a sum, and pasted the result into a saved Notepad file.
Gila ordered fresh office groceries through the ChatGPT Instacart app, using the card already on file, with a human approving first.
Office grocery ordering via ChatGPT
An OpenClaw assistant named Gila collects office grocery requests from Slack, then uses ChatGPT's Instacart app to build the cart and post the link back.
From their phone, the author found lost desktop files, got key emails summarized, and ran Notion and spreadsheet tasks, cutting inbox clutter.
Dispatch phone-to-desktop tasks
A Fortune editor used Claude Dispatch, a Cowork feature linking phone to desktop, for a month to pull files, triage email, and prep meetings.
The folder was renamed and deduplicated, the report draft needed only light editing, and the notes became a structured draft with the synthesis done.
Busywork day handed to Cowork
Claude Cowork sorted a 200-file folder, built a weekly metrics report from several sources, and turned messy notes into a structured draft.
The task finished in 19 minutes, with numbers formatted in the spreadsheet and a screenshot trail of every step.
Wallet data into spreadsheet
Claude computer use pulled wallet data and dashboard numbers across the author's desktop, then summarized them in an open spreadsheet.
The Codex agent resolved the issue in 40 minutes, and the ops agent confirmed the fix in Slack.
Slack issue triage to Codex fix
An internal ops agent triaged a Slack issue, passed it to a Codex agent, and then verified the fix back in Slack.

Lindy for recurring ops work
Lindy, connected to Slack, Notion, Gmail and Calendar, analyzed a guide library, built a staff meeting deck, and created a Notion guide idea from Slack.
Codex traced the kills to the Linux OOM killer on a 2 GB droplet with no swap, and listed fixes without changing anything.
Find why a process dies
Codex CLI, run on the author's Mac, connected to their Ubuntu server over SSH and checked kernel logs to find why Claude Code kept dying.
On a payment service v2 to v4 test, it caught an outdated SDK, returned DO NOT SHIP YET, then SAFE TO SHIP in simulation.
Pre-deploy release gatekeeper agent
The author built SHIPCHECK, a ReAct agent that queries a Sanity Content Lake over MCP to check whether a service upgrade is safe before deploy.
Users resolved issues by talking to Devin, engineers only merged when needed, and Devin Review caught bugs.
Devin as feedback triage bot
Devin triaged every app feedback and feature request in a dedicated Slack channel, with read-only access for debugging, and let non-technical staff coauthor PRs.
It reported nearly 28GB of RAM used, 22 Python processes and 10GB on iCloud, then asked permission before closing anything.
PC memory check by text
A Grok Bot monitored the author's PC and texted a breakdown of memory use while they were away at lunch.
