How Claude Code Connects to External Tools Through MCP

Claude Code is more than an AI coding assistant that reads files and generates code. Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it can connect to external tools, APIs, databases, and services, extending its capabilities beyond the local development environment. But how does this connection actually work? This article explores the engineering behind MCP, from its client-server architecture and tool discovery process to request execution and external API communication. It also examines how Claude Code handles authentication, permissions, security risks, and reliability when interacting with external systems, revealing how a coding assistant becomes a connected engineering agent.

How Telegram Talks to a Billion People at Once (Without Falling Over)

Telegram moves billions of messages a day across a custom-built backend that skips most of the standard cloud playbook – no managed databases, no conventional load balancers, just a purpose-built protocol and a web of data centres designed so no single failure takes the system down. This piece breaks down exactly how that architecture works, from home data centres and message routing to why a famously small engineering team has been enough to keep it all running.
