Been working on my plugin based architecture for SMCP today. Today's milestone was getting it more easily integrated into Claude Assistant's specific flavor of stdio. Here's Claude checking my email with the SMTP/IMAP plugin.
A lot of you aren't really understanding what SMCP is all about.
What is SMCP?
SMCP (Sanctum Letta MCP) is a server that lets AI assistants like Claude use command-line tools and scripts. It acts as a bridge: you write tools as simple scripts, and SMCP makes them available to AI assistants.
Why it's useful:
Instead of giving Claude direct system access, you expose specific tools (email, file operations, APIs, etc.) through SMCP. Claude can call them when needed, and you control what's available.
Example: You have an email script. SMCP exposes it as a tool. When you ask Claude to "check my inbox," it uses your email tool through SMCP—no manual steps.
Key benefits:
- Security: AI only accesses tools you explicitly enable
- Flexibility: Add new tools by dropping scripts into a folder
- Works locally: Run on your machine (Claude Desktop, Cursor) or remotely
- No coding required: If you can write a script, you can make it an AI tool
Think of it as a controlled way to give AI assistants superpowers—they can use your tools, but only the ones you allow.
How it works with UCW and AI-generated plugins:
SMCP pairs with UCW (Universal Command Wrapper). Here's the workflow:
1. AI writes a script — You ask Claude to create a tool (e.g., "make a script that backs up my files"). Claude writes a Python script.
2. UCW wraps it — UCW converts that script into an SMCP plugin by adding the metadata SMCP needs (command descriptions, parameters, etc.).
3. SMCP auto-discovers it — SMCP scans your plugins folder, finds the new plugin, and makes it available to AI assistants.
4. AI uses it immediately — The tool is now available. You can ask Claude to use it, and it will.
The magic: This creates a feedback loop. AI creates tools → SMCP exposes them → AI uses them → AI creates more tools. You can give AI broad access to create and use tools while keeping them isolated and controlled.
Example flow:
- You: "Create a tool to check my server status"
- AI: Writes
- You: "Check my server status"
- AI: Uses the tool it just created through SMCP
It's like giving AI a workshop where it can build and use its own tools, all within your controlled environment.

Bankless interviewed former crypto policy advisor Corey Frayer. I found it as infuriating as Uniswap's Hayden Adams did.

Fascinating if a bit infurating to watch. Some takeaways:
1) Just like Amanda Fischer tweets, an increasingly clear picture is coming forward - they didn't make a real attempt to understand the technology, mostly operated off vibes and things seemingly looking similar to other things on first glance - no consideration at all about self-custody, immutable code, the difference between something running on a server vs a blockchain
2) Zero willingness to disambiguate between the software developers, frontend, protocols, DAOs, etc
3) His definition of what "real" DeFi would be is so narrow he had to use the phrase "immaculate conception" to describe it. Basically dismisses everything other than bitcoin as centralized
4) He doesn't not understand how Uniswap upgrades work and seems to assume we make changes to the protocol codebase after deployment. This is not true. Each deployment is an entirely new codebase, old one continues to exist forever, and users have to choose to migrate funds to it. This is maximum decentralization, probably beyond hardforks.
5) When asked why they don't just hire some smart contract devs to understand how Uniswap works and if we have control he basically just acknowledged they dont understand how it works or make any attempt to. Says it would require trippling their budget. They employ literally thousands of lawyers to sue people, and only needed one dev lol
6) He says "come in and register" was in good faith and not a trap. So point to one crypto project that did this, was successful at it, and built a real business that is currently operational (you can't)
7) Glad he acknowledged it LOOKS really bad that all of Genslers texts magically disappeared even if he tried to play it off as an accident. If 2 years of my texts disappeared when they had a preservation notice against me they probably would have recommended criminal charges

I'm cooking.
I had hoped to have gotten further in this tech demo this week, but I had a bit of client work and a lot of biz dev pop up. Hopefully I'll bull thru it this weekend.
I'm super excited about it, though.
