Refactored the DC Comics MCP server to break tools out into their own subfolders. Makes them more independent and the associated schemas are easier to find.

Moving forward (having tried various patterns now), this structure works really well with a lot of API endpoints.

I needed a visual way to explain AI model parameters and weights so I asked ChatGPT to create a comic for me. It did a great job! Easy to understand and follow.

Was able to get the DC Comics MCP Server running. It's not perfect - but a good start.

Here's the repo. Overall idea is to show how MCP can wrap APIs and expose them to AI systems.

🦸‍♂️ Spent some time this weekend building out a Marvel MCP server. It makes access to the Marvel API accessible from Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot in VS Code, or other MCP hosts.

The main goal was to provide an example of using MCP to wrap APIs. ✨
