I created an enhanced fork of the popular MacProxy project called MacProxy Plus, which makes it possible to browse the modern web on vintage hardware. You run MPP on a machine on your local network and configure the Mac (or other vintage computer) to use it as a proxy server. MPP converts HTTPS to HTTP, strips out CSS, JavaScript, and other tags the Mac's browser doesn't recognize, then serves super-simplified HTML that actually loads pretty fast on the nearly 40 year old machine. Custom handling is enabled by "extensions" (individual python scripts) which intercept requests for given…

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.…

Spanly▲77Hi HN, I'm Tim, solo founder of Spanly (https://spanly.com). I spent the last year working on MCP gateways, and debugging them with nothing better than HTTP-level APM was painful. Spanly runs its own MCP server and monitors it with itself, so I've been the first user of everything below. Spanly is observability for MCP servers, the protocol that lets agents like Claude and Cursor call your product's tools. It's a sidecar proxy, so it works with any language and requires zero code changes. Live demo (no signup): https://app.spanly.com/share/demo Sidecar source…
