Installs 5 essential MCPs for Claude Code, including GitHub, Gmail, Notion, Slack, and Linear, to enhance its functionality

Original Description

Most Claude Code users never connect it to anything. Which is wild because there are MCP servers that completely change what Claude can do. The five I use every day are GitHub, Gmail, Notion, Slack, and Linear. Once they're connected, Claude can manage repos, draft emails, search your Notion workspace, summarize Slack threads, and update your sprint board, all from one conversation. Each one takes about a minute to install.
