baseten · x · 2026-09-03
Baseten released a remote MCP server and a skill so coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf can operate the Baseten platform more efficiently.
Benchmarks show token usage, cost, and task completion time drop by 7.5% on average, and up to 57% for operation-heavy tasks. It's a notable example of platforms adapting themselves for agentic workflows rather than expecting humans to click through consoles.
