When using ZhiPu GLM Coding Plan with Claude Code, I noticed my monthly quota draining faster than expected. The culprit? Built-in MCP tools — web-search-prime and web-reader — were consuming coding conversation quota for every web search and page fetch.

TL;DR​

Replace ZhiPu's built-in web-search-prime and web-reader MCP services with Tavily MCP. Result: free 1000 searches/month with zero impact on coding quota.

While building AI Agent systems for clients, we found that different tasks require vastly different model capabilities and costs: vision models for image analysis, lightweight models for text completion, and local models for internal data queries. MCP (Model Context Protocol) turns each capability into an independent tool that AI clients invoke on demand.

TL;DR​

Build a custom MCP Server in 30 minutes with Python FastMCP, connecting any OpenAI-compatible API based on scenario and cost. This article demonstrates the full workflow using the Doubao vision model, with extension templates for text generation, image generation, TTS, and more.
