MCPs: What they are and how you can use them with Hex's API

This post introduces the concept of Model Context Protocols (MCPs) and demonstrates how to build an MCP server that interfaces with Hex's public API. It details the steps for installing and configuring the `hex-mcp` package, enabling AI assistants like Cursor and Claude to search for, trigger, and check the status of Hex projects. This enhances the developer workflow by allowing interaction with Hex projects from within AI-assisted development environments, improving focus and streamlining data transformation and job orchestration.
