Skipped the docs: had Claude build the tutorial as a project via their own MCP server

The author's project tool (nodes, connections, tasks) ships an MCP server. After launching focus-session stats, he needed a tutorial explaining profiles, roles and badges — so instead of writing docs, he had Claude build it as a project through MCP: 6 nodes with connections and a checklist in each, then published it as a clonable community template.
It worked better than expected — "a map that explains itself." The main gotcha was naming: connectnodes takes node names, not IDs, so duplicate names would break things. He asks what others use their MCP servers for beyond basic CRUD.
