I'm relatively new to Go, but recently got interested in how MCP servers work. I started thinking about what the architecture of such a project might look like, and decided to build a minimalist version as an experiment. I based it on my past experience writing regular REST API servers and figured it might be useful or interesting to others as well.

Hey, we built an open-source CLI in Go purposed to help you answer security questions across your cloud, code and runtime. It connects to your GitHub, GitLab, AWS, GCP, Azure & K8s using the credentials that are already in your shell, while limiting itself to read-only. The core innovation here is the trust boundary - our agent has a built-in code execution sandbox with no host or network access; it is exposed to an internal tool which we call an “action gate” that performs read-only HTTP requests to your own infrastructure. Since the cloud providers constantly expand actions and services,…

We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

I've been building a bunch of random side projects, as I'm sure we all are. Most analytics tools were either too heavy or required juggling multiple free tiers across different subdomains. After looking what's out there I couldn't find a lightweight analytics platform that worked on the free tier of fly.io. It's a single Go binary using DuckDB for events and SQLite for metadata, so there are no external dependencies to manage. Drop a script tag on your site and it auto-captures pageviews and clicks. The part I'm most excited about: it uses an LLM to automatically name raw click events into…

Hey HN, we just shipped a browser with an inbuilt MCP server! We're a YC startup (S24) building BrowserOS — an open‑source Chromium fork. We're a privacy‑first alternative to the new wave of AI browsers like Dia, Perplexity Comet. Since launching ~3 months ago, the #1 request has been to expose our browser as an MCP server. -- Google beat us to launch with chrome-devtools-mcp (solid product btw), which lets you build/debug web apps by connecting Chrome to coding assistants. But we wanted to take this a step further: we packaged the MCP server directly into our browser binary. That gives…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…
