Products that do what Manthan a MCP server to store Concept cards with prerequisite links does
I generally am a forgetful person who remembers very little of what is read sometime ago. I also tried using many of tools related to hardcoded flashcards but they may not present the full picture. I can't share it with my friends about what i am learning easily without signin up. manthan solves for that. I can create a deck of cards that have prerequisites and since this is a MCP any ai agent which has mcp capability can do this. Its been a time saver for me to recap what is the dense things that are there in a topic. the above one is related to build things that don't scale by PG. Also…

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…

We built a reference MCP server that lets your editor/agent learn a codebase directly from source (signatures, types, AST, comments). Docs are optional. The reference impl runs on our open-source project’s codebase. Why we built it Docs are important, but they add another abstraction layer between your code and your users. Keeping them at the right quality is hard (especially at a startup), and LLM-generated docs are often mediocre until you invest real polish. Exposing code to the model in a structured way keeps answers grounded and current, and it’s always available. You can even…

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!

Hi HN — I'm the creator of FastMCP and wanted to share a new project we've open-sourced called Colin. I obviously love MCP, but I also use skills extremely heavily in my day-to-day work. Being exposed to both has made me very aware of a tension: - Anything with dynamic information, I ship over MCP. This takes work to set up and requires conversational boilerplate to refresh in every conversation. - Anything behavioral, I put in skills. They're lightweight, used automatically, and feel great. But I would never put dynamic information in a skill because keeping it up to date is a pain. And yet…

How it works: - Storage uses one SQLite database file, plus a local LanceDB index of vectors. No need for a server, cloud services, or any API keys. - Retrieval is a hybrid approach using BM25 (rank-bm25) and vector-based search (sentence-transformers) combined with a co-occurrence graph of entities, using reciprocal rank fusion. The idea is to find the right memory, not the closest one. - It plugs into the agent's lifecycle via MCP: before the agent responds, relevant memories are added to its input; after each turn, decisions and new learnings are automatically recorded. No need to…

Hello HN, we're Andrew and Stephen from Keyboard (https://www.keyboard.dev/). After building AI tools for the past year, we recently made a YouTube video on building MCP servers and realized MCP is a total game-changer. It essentially lets AI do anything by connecting to your apps. But the deeper we dove, the clearer it became that security and privacy were complete afterthoughts. Coming from backgrounds at Okta and Stripe, this made us pretty uncomfortable. We kept seeing the same pattern: every app needs its own MCP server, each storing sensitive tokens, with minimal…

We built a no/low-code tool that lets you spin up MCPs from a single prompt. MCPs give LLMs access to tools, data, and actions—but they’re hard to build and deploy. Our tool abstracts that: describe what you want, and it auto-generates and hosts the necessary components. No UI flows, no manual chaining—just prompt and go. Examples: • Pull email, parse a DocSend, check Reddit, draft reply • Extract data from a niche site + send a Slack alert • Combine tools without writing glue code Live demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uCiaQrgfoE Built over a weekend after getting…

Hi HN, for about a year now I've been experimenting with AI agents and building my own home ecosystem; from the start I set out with the idea of an agent that behaves like a member of the family, not as a personal agent, and this made me clash very early first with OpenClaw's builtin memory, then I tested dozens of memory plugins without ever finding one that fit my purpose, so like any good builder I made my own. First on OpenClaw, as a plugin, then the idea matured and since the beginning of this year the memory plugin has evolved into an agent agnostic MCP server. It has been running my…

Tired of AI coding tools that forget everything between sessions? Every time I open a new chat with Claude or fire up Copilot, I'm back to square one explaining my codebase structure. So I built something to fix this. It's called In Memoria. Its an MCP server that gives AI tools persistent memory. Instead of starting fresh every conversation, the AI remembers your coding patterns, architectural decisions, and all the context you've built up. The setup is dead simple: `npx in-memoria server` then connect your AI tool. No accounts, no data leaves your machine. Under the hood it's TypeScript +…

I built a simple multi user, multi board, Task/Kanban MCP server. I have been looking for something like this to manage development agents, but I wasn't seeing anything that felt like what I wanted. So I set down and decided to vibe code an alternative. While it was an experiment at first I have been using it daily for my personal development projects and I really think there are others who might be looking for exactly this. It's 100% a WIP, but it is also very usable. I have a demo instance running at https://mootasks.dev. If you find this interesting I'd appreciate a star.…

A friend and I built this as a side project to help us collaborate on files with our agents. Claude / Codex kept outputting .md and .html files which are great until we needed to share them, so we built this small website to help with that. Agent can either use an HTTP + Skill or an MCP which also uses MCP Apps to add widgets to Claude Desktop / Mobile chat. Would love any feedback and hopefully this helps someone else as it did us!

Hi HN, For 4 years I've worked on the psychology of learning following a CompSci degree with an AI minor from back in 2019. I love the future of effective learning that is coming. This is a way for you to study for specific exams, lectures and videos. You upload your content, and get specific, citing flashcard exercises delivered in a fun way. Not only can you view the timestamp in the video that a question was generated from, for example, but your answers are used to inform a "Compilation stage". The Compilation stage uses your choices of answers (and wrong answers), as well as data on when…

I haven't seen anything like this so I decided to build it in a weekend. How it works: You see a bunch of things pulled from Wikipedia displayed on cards. You ask yes or no questions to figure out which card is the secret article. The AI model has access to the image and wiki text and it's own knowledge to answer your question. Happy to have my credits burned for the day but I'll probably have to make this paid at some point so enjoy. I found it's not easy to get cheap+fast+good responses but the tech is getting there. Most of the prompts are running through Groq infra or hitting a cache…

We built InsForge because we wanted to use pure prompts to build a production-grade app faster. In practice, AI isn’t reliable enough when generating code or configuring backend pieces like schema, RLS, auth, or functions. Postgres MCP and Supabase MCP are a good starting point, but they felt more like API wrappers for agents than something designed to guide AI safely through backend tasks. So we built our own MCP server on top of Postgres and added a set of context-engineering tools to make prompt-driven workflows more predictable. It gradually turned into a Postgres-based BaaS. Key…

Hey HN, I pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and use Gemini through work. Four vendors, four separate conversation histories, four profiles of how I think. None of them talk to each other. Switch providers and you start over. So I built a system where the memory is mine. I run a knowledge graph in Postgres (Supabase, free tier) with pgvector for semantic search. A small MCP server reads and writes to it. That server sits behind an MCP Gateway on a $6/month VPS, along with Brave Search and a GitHub server. TypingMind connects to the gateway as a BYOK client -- any model, any device, same…

I’m a math grad student. I wanted to create ephemeral calculator documents and spreadsheets that I can quickly use along with AI and embed in blog posts. I ended up making a bunch of collaborative calculators that support embedding, shareable live links, and an MCP interface.

This is my attempt in building a memory that evolves and persist for claude code. My approach is inspired from Zettelkasten method, memories are atomic, connected and dynamic. Existing memories can evolve based on newer memories. In the background it uses LLM to handle linking and evolution. I have only used it with claude code so far, it works well with me but still early stage, so rough edges likely. I'm planning to extend it to other coding agents as I use several different agents during development. Looking for feedbacks!

I got the idea of [mindmap.so](http://mindmap.so/) out of my own frustration of managing my personal notes in Notion and Miro in parallel. I have built it 3 months back on top of excalidraw, posted it in Reddit a couple of times, and never looked back (was using it only for personal use). Little did I know that the small and nimble tool that I created has crossed 2000+ users (was so surprised when I saw the dashboard last week). It was all organic and word of mouth . Having 2000+ users trusting a product is no easy feat. That’s when I thought may be I should put some more…
