Weekly #26-2025: Cloudflare’s 13 New AI Servers, AI Coding Tips, and Dev Truths

Cloudflare has released 13 new MCP servers that provide instant, AI-powered access to its best tools, allowing users to build and debug serverless apps, access global internet traffic, and more. These servers connect directly to platforms like Claude.ai, Cursor, and Windsurf, enabling real-time insights and supercharging workflows. Big names like Atlassian, PayPal, and Sentry are already building with these tools. To get started, users can connect their MCP client to Cloudflare's new servers. AI coding tools have revolutionized development, but knowing when to use them is key, and developers should ask themselves three questions before using AI to generate code. AI shines at repetitive tasks, but for new or high-risk features, developers should use AI to learn and remove uncertainty before generating code. Senior developers are openly admitting to regularly Googling basic programming syntax and concepts, and this is seen as a strength rather than a weakness. The FAUN Developer Community has explained Kubernetes workloads and services through an amusement park analogy, making complex concepts more easily digestible. The debate between SFTP and FTPS file transfer protocols has been put to the test, with results showing that neither protocol is a clear winner, and the choice of client and testing in real-world environments are crucial. Overall, these developments are changing the game for app development, security, and performance.
