mcp-usefree tier, from $25/mo▲581Hi HN, Luigi here. We maintain mcp-use an open-source TypeScript framework for building MCP servers and MCP Apps: https://github.com/mcp-use/mcp-use MCP is now (finally) stateless so we rewrote mcp-use v2 from scratch for the 2026-07-28 MCP spec revision: https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28/ Thanks to the rebuild: - Throughput: +27% → from 8,615 to 10,982 median ops/sec - Cold launch: 2.2x faster → from 151.6 ms to 68.1 ms - Clean install: 82% smaller → from 404.6 MiB to 74.4 MiB Benchmark with methodology here:…

Most of the MCP servers that I’ve seen are tools implemented in standalone projects. To onboard more tools (especially agents and multi-agent workflows) to MCP, I’ve been thinking it’s important to allow AI engineers to continue to prototype in their existing agent frameworks and deploy with minimal conversion when ready. We created the automcp library, which you can add as a dependency to existing projects (CrewAI, LangGraph, Llama Index, OpenAI Agents SDK, Pydantic AI, mcp-agent currently supported but more coming soon). You just need to run a CLI command to create a run_mcp.py file, make…

Hey HN, Sagiv from liblab is here. We've been deep in the world of API tooling for years at liblab, primarily focusing on generating SDKs and documentation from OpenAPI specs. Recently, we kept running into a recurring frustration: connecting AI tools to existing APIs is way more complex than it should be. You start with a simple goal – let an LLM talk to your API – and suddenly you're neck-deep in spinning up infrastructure, wrestling with authentication, and writing a ton of custom glue code just to translate natural language into structured API calls. Then you have to maintain it all. To…

Hi HN! We built Zalor. It turns an OpenAPI spec into an MCP server, so you can make your APIs callable by Claude or ChatGPT without writing any code. Here's a list of specs you can try: https://github.com/ZalorAI/test-data/tree/main/openapi, but feel free to use your own. For background, MCP is a protocol that standardizes how you connect tools to AI assistants. We're both engineers at large software companies, and when we worked on MCP integrations we saw how long setup took and how often the spec was changing. So we built a platform to handle the MCP…

TLDR: OpenAPI-MCP is a Dockerized server that dynamically generates Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool definitions directly from your Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. It allows your AI agent to seamlessly access any API without additional coding, streamlining development and eliminating repetitive manual setup.

Hey HN, we’re building an open specification that lets agents discover and invoke APIs with natural language, built on the OpenAPI standard. agents.json clearly defines the contract between LLMs and API as a standard that's open, observable, and replicable. Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: https://youtu.be/kby2Wdt2Dtk?si=59xGCDy48Zzwr7ND. There’s 2 parts to this: 1. An agents.json file describes how to link API calls together into outcome-based tools for LLMs. This file sits alongside an OpenAPI file. 2. The agents.json SDK loads agents.json files as tools for an LLM that…

Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

Your AI agent is burning 6x more tokens than it needs to just to browse the web. We built OpenBrowser MCP to fix that. Most browser MCPs give the LLM dozens of tools: click, scroll, type, extract, navigate. Each call dumps the entire page accessibility tree into the context window. One Wikipedia page? 124K+ tokens. Every. Single. Call. OpenBrowser works differently. It exposes one tool. Your agent writes Python code, and OpenBrowser executes it in a persistent runtime with full browser access. The agent controls what comes back. No bloated page dumps. No wasted tokens. Just the data your…
