Why AI Coding Agents Break APIs (And How BitDive Restores Their Vision via MCP)
· 6 min read
TL;DR: AI coding agents are incredibly powerful at reading and writing source code, but when it comes to understanding what code actually does at runtime, they are blind. They can read `repository.findAll()` in the source code, but they cannot see the 40-query N+1 explosion it causes in production. This post explores how AI routinely breaks APIs and how connecting agents to real runtime data using BitDive and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) dramatically improves their reliability.
