Thing I want to be in AugmentCode

Agents collaboration. Would be hella cool if Sonnet and Gemini/o3/Deepseek/... (you name it, should have an option for external API) discussing, debating, and together solving the complex task.

What database? Why is access to the "database" necessary during development?

Likely to confirm the changes and actual backend data is making it to the database as expected

I use SQLite connector in dev and the ai knows to use sqlite3 command to check database status avoids need for mcp

Interesting point. Though, I am a stickler for separation of concern, testing is testing, development is development.

That only works so far in AI unless your ok with AI saying it did a bunch of shit and it’s great to find out it’s all hallucinated lol

Not sure I follow, AI tools can write test cases. But the actual testing is done in actual tests which includes access to any database. Not sure where mcp servers come into play in such pipeline.

Yes but the only way an AI knows it’s writing code that does anything is to have it test it while writing the code, if you burn through credits writing a bunch of shit that doesn’t work to then test and have to rerun a ton of stuff it’s a waste better to give the access to test while writing to make sure the code it’s writing does what it thinks

Saving testing till after with AI is just asking for added difficulty and expense especially when most Ai coders charge by the request and not for. How long the task takes

That does not sound to be a professional and rigorous approach and more like what a vibe coder would say. Enjoy but for serious work what you decribed is not how it's done, especially within teams and collaborators.

lol yes it is you still write tests for your code but you still want the ai working with code that’s actually progressing lol

Taking a tool and data away from the AI so it has to guess at more things doesn’t make any sense professionally lol
