Fancy schamncy sells. So does exotic. And so does healthy. The Pomegranate brand has got all three going for it, and in the end it doesn’t matter too much what the actual fruit tastes like when you can hire a team of expensive flavorologists to cut it with the right blend of tea, nectar or [‘ppucino](http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060627/20060627005375.html?.v=1).

Connect your agent
Claude Code, Codex or Cursor reads the site’s fixes over MCP, fixes a page in your code, has mttr read it again, and checks the fix landed.
