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:…

Hi HN, Gabriel, Co-Founder at Permit.io. We're releasing Permit MCP Gateway today, an authorization proxy for MCP servers. TL;DR - we built an MCP Gateway that developers love and CISOs trust. Watch more[0] Now, after your little hate on using fancy copy on HN, to the real thing: MCP is in a strange place. Developers are debating whether it's overcomplicated compared to CLIs or skills files. Meanwhile, enterprises are adopting it by default because every agentic system that acts on your behalf, Cursor, Claude, Copilot, internal agents, needs a stable infrastructure for connecting to tools.…

MCPSafe▲6We've been scanning MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to understand the security posture of the ecosystem. After 306 servers and 1,211 vulnerabilities, here's what we found: - 69 critical vulnerabilities - 32 servers using eval() on untrusted input - 31 SQL injection vulnerabilities - 32 servers with hardcoded API credentials 10.5% of servers have at least one critical vulnerability. MCP servers run with your permissions. AI agents trust them implicitly. A prompt injection can exploit them remotely. MCPSafe (https://mcpsafe.org) lets you scan before you connect. Free tier…

We previously open-sourced a rubric for assessing APIs for agent-readiness (carefully designed by some colleagues who are deeply involved with the OpenAPI initiative). We hosted a nice web app for scoring an API according to this rubric (a mix of deterministic and LLM-based assessment), and learned people were hacking it into their CI/CD pipelines for regression testing and longitudinal tracking. So we just released a nice CLI to make that easier, with a decent free tier.

Hi HN, We’re building security tooling around agentic AI systems. Today, we're releasing our public MCP catalog with detailed risk analysis for every MCP server we've found on the internet: https://mcp.armor1.ai/mcp-directory We all love agents and the power that MCPs unlock: suddenly your AI assistant can query databases, manage files, call APIs, and interact with the real world. But when we started adopting MCPs ourselves, we kept running into the same nagging questions: Is this MCP safe? Where is my data actually going? Could it execute destructive actions? Is it…

Got tired of every MCP example being overly verbose, or needing Docker or Mac-only scripts, so I threw together MCP-123. Point it at a tools.py, run `server.run_server(...)`, and the client auto-discovers/calls functions with OpenAI. I hope this is useful to you all.

As AI agents autonomously write and deploy code, there's no standard for verifying that what they shipped actually satisfies business requirements. OQP is an attempt to define that standard. It's MCP-compatible and defines four core endpoints: - GET /capabilities — what can this agent verify? - GET /context/workflows — what are the business rules for this workflow? - POST /verification/execute — run a verification workflow - POST /verification/assess-risk — what is the risk of this change? The analogy we keep coming back to: what OpenAPI did for REST APIs,…
