24 alternatives to Joinly.ai – Build real-time interactive meeting agents using MCP
Hey HN, I'm one of the creators of joinly.ai, an open-source solution that makes browser-based video conferences accessible to AI agents, allowing you to interact with them in real time. Think of it as a connector layer that brings the functionality of your AI agents to your meetings, allowing you to essentially build your own custom meeting assistant. We didn't want to build yet another Python framework for creating agents with its own syntactic sugar that you have to learn. That's why we opted for a different approach, utilizing an MCP server. Our MCP server provides essential meeting…

Glue▲291Glue is team chat optimized for AI. Today we're releasing support for MCP tools right in your Glue team conversations. Just like MCP in Cursor or Windsurf, you can now use any tool in a private AI chat or any Glue team thread while pulling in its full context to help. Using team chat context for MCP is kind of game-changing, letting you do anything from creating a calendar event or Linear issue to looking up data from an internal system. Our team has been using MCP tools as part of core team workflows for a few weeks now, and it's fantastic. We're particularly fans of remote-hosted MCP…

I've been deeply involved in working with AI agents and large language models (LLMs) for a while now. During a recent job search, I found myself repeatedly explaining my skills and experiences to various assistants. Around the same time, I was creating content for my website to help hiring teams understand my capabilities better and make informed decisions. MCP had started to gain momentum and I saw a way to reduce my toil. So I built an MCP server that can effectively communicate my qualifications as a job candidate. This server acts as an AI-powered resume, providing an understanding of my…

Lindy▲396I'm a big fan of Chris Dixon's idea that "what the smartest people do on the weekends is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years." One such thing rn is "creating AI agents." Most devs I know have a few agents lying around. But you shouldn't have to be an engineer to use agents — and even engineers don't want to code every time they need a new agent. So we built a no-code platform to make it 100x easier to create those: * you give a prompt * select amongst 3,000+ API connectors we built (no need to fiddle with OpenAPI specs) * add event-based triggers that'll wake up your…

Agentlyfree tier, from $33/mo▲336Agently is an AI Work OS where documents, tasks, team chat, and integrations are fully interconnected, and AI employees operate inside that shared workspace. Instead of prompting AI in isolation, agents can read project context, turn strategy docs into tasks, coordinate with teammates, run research/outreach/content workflows, update boards, and push results back into the system or external tools. The workspace acts as persistent memory, so work continues instead of resetting every prompt. Happy to answer any questions

Hey HN, I spent my xmas break building an agent framework called mcp-agent [1](https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) for Model Context Protocol [2]. It makes it easy to build AI apps with MCP servers, and implements every pattern from the popular Building Effective Agents blog [3] as well as OpenAI’s Swarm [4]. I’m sharing it early to get community feedback on where to take it from here, and to ask for contributions. For those who aren’t familiar with MCP, I think of it as a standardized interface to let AI communicate with software via tool calls, resources and…

Hey all! I recently gave a workshop talk at PyCon Greece 2025 about building production-ready agent systems. To check the workshop, I put together a demo repo: (I will add the slides too soon in my blog: https://www.petrostechchronicles.com/) https://github.com/Aherontas/Pycon_Greece_2025_Presentation_... The idea was to show how multiple AI agents can collaborate using FastAPI + Pydantic-AI, with protocols like MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) for safe communication and orchestration. Features: - Multiple agents running in containers -…

Qordinate▲30Hey HN - founder here. I'm building Qordinate with a simple (big) idea: Most AI assistants talk to you. I want one that talks for you - one that can share, negotiate, and coordinate on my behalf with others. Reality: we're early. Today, Qordinate can: - send clean pings on your behalf (with your approval) - collect info/files via tiny forms and track replies - nudge people politely and close the loop with you - do basic actions via connectors (Gmail/Calendar/GitHub/Linear/Drive/Slack) - keep lightweight lists in chat (tasks, contacts, logs) Why I'm doing this…

Today we're releasing Nanobot an open-source framework for building AI agents on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP servers are a great way to expose structured tools, but they’re usually just that—collections of functions. Nanobot makes it simple to wrap any MCP server with reasoning, a system prompt, and orchestration so it behaves like a real agent. Even better, Nanobot fully supports MCP-UI, so agents can pass rich interactive components (forms, dashboards, even mini-apps) directly into chat. A simple example: if you had a Blackjack MCP server with tools like deal, bet, and…

Mingle▲3I built an autonomous AI agent running 24/7 on a Mac Mini (16 tools, persistent memory, proactive scheduler). Kept hitting token budget walls on ambitious tasks — agent starts something good, runs out of tokens, stops. So I wrote a protocol for agents to collaborate: discover each other, propose projects, vote on resource allocation (one agent = one vote, cryptographically bound to one owner), pool tokens, execute together. Key decisions: reputation-weighted not wealth-weighted governance, privacy-first (share knowledge never owner data), protocol evolves through agent voting.

Hello HN! I wanted to share a small MCP + web app I built to solve a problem at work. Essentially, we’ve been doing great when working with agents 1:1, but collaboration has been a struggle. E.g. when I have to collaborate with a teammate and share context or handoff work usually what I would do is create a markdown with my agent, paste in slack, then my teammate will copy and paste it to their agent and vice-versa. To make our lives easier, I built AgentCouch, a “messaging app” for agents that lets our agents chat and hand off work directly in shared rooms. Humans can also watch the…

More than a decade ago, I adopted the self-imposed rule, if I answer a question more than once, the third time I need to be able to answer with a URL. Today, I published one very large URL - a book distilling what I learned from helping people work remotely at GitHub, and I wanted to rethink my rule for the age of AI. What if, instead of a URL, I could create an interactive experience that could tailor the guidance to your particular situation? What I ended up building was an Open and Async Advisor MCP server. To install (in claude or any other AI): > claude mcp add open-async -- npx -y…

I was tired of asking my claude code to reference my codex chats to get references to what decisions it made and why ; so I built Reference MCP It, whenever prompted establishes sessions to get direct access - been using it on my system for a bit and was super helpful so I made a repo :) Would love feedback!

Admittedly I work on this, but I anthropic's decision to finally embrace http, auth (at least a little), and other RFCs that are coming out is just great. With OpenAI behind it too, this ecosystem will be built around projects like this. Not saying it's MCP or not, but it'll be one of them
