This is why you need to know how to code. 💻
Today I ran into a problem that AI couldn't help me with.
Due to training cutoff dates, AI models don't know how to implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) unless you provide extensive context.
My issue: I was trying to run a tool that didn't require parameters but kept getting an "Error: 'required'" message. After searching for the exception source, I had to use print statements to debug my code and narrow down the location.
The culprit?
The original code assumed this variable would exist:
"required": tool["input_schema"]["required"]
But it wasn't present for parameterless tools. I fixed it by modifying the code to provide an empty list when no value was present.
AI couldn't help because it didn't understand my specific codebase and implementation details.
The lesson: Find a programming language and learn the fundamentals. Even in an AI-powered world, debugging skills still remain invaluable.
