Engineering essays from the Korva team — AI memory, MCP, Spec-Driven Development, and what it takes to ship real software with AI assistants in production.
RSS feedModel Context Protocol has become the standard way for AI coding assistants to connect to local tools. Here is every editor with first-class MCP support today, what their config looks like, and how to wire them up to a single shared server.
AI assistants are great at generating plausible code and bad at noticing when their output drifts from what you actually asked for. Spec-Driven Development with explicit human approval gates fixes both. Here is the workflow that ships in Korva v1.0.
Stateless AI assistants force teams into repeating the same conversation every session. We argue the missing piece isn't a smarter model but an infrastructure layer that gives AI engineering memory — and we walk through what that layer looks like in practice.
