Marmot hits major milestone I've been solo pushing (with help of AI), to really mature out the system. And yesterday I have hit the first milestone where MySQL API is stable enough to make WordPress install and work flawlessly. System is now in a place where you can spin off a cluster, and then spin off many replicas you want to scale out. I wanted to build something that is actually hard with AI, and it's been long and tough journey trying various AI tools, and huge amount of learning. I will follow up with a blog post, but since I have all the scripts to help you guys spin up cluster and…

Built this because I'm sick of keeping documentation up to date when everyone's using AI tools now. It will not only generate missing docs / update / remove docs as they need alignment, but you can hook up the MCP to whatever agent is being used these days and it'll inform it of codebase conventions & relevant documentation, telling it to update docs as it find them or as it makes changes (in the same PR as related work), and reduces spend on tokens by getting things right the first time without having to grep the whole codebase for context or go through 5 rounds of "follow our…

Marple▲86Hi HN! I’m Nero from Marple, and we build time series tooling for Aerospace & Automotive. In 2020, we launched our first product: a sort of Grafana on steroids designed for high performance analysis. After integrating with a lot of different TS databases, we kept running into their design limits when trying to deliver the best performance & UX to our users. That’s why we are launching Marple DB today (https://www.marpledata.com/marple-db). Marple DB transforms measurements files (CSV, MAT, HDF5, TDMS, …) into a queryable lakehouse. We designed for extreme ingestion…

Viberia▲146Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

MCP360▲61Hey HN Community, I built MCP360 after spending weeks integrating APIs for an AI agent project. Each tool needed its own setup, auth, billing, and maintenance. When any APIs changed, my integrations broke. I got tired of it. MCP360 is a single gateway giving AI agents access to 100+ tools through one config block. Search engines, web scraping, SEO, e-commerce data, maps, domain tools, and more. Real example: Instead of managing Google Search, web scraping, SERP tracking, and keyword research as 4 separate subscriptions (4 bills, 4 auth systems, 4 points of failure), you connect once. Works…

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…

Hi HN! I am Ardalan, co-founder of DataMotto (https://datamotto.com), which is a proactive AI data analyst. It is an AI tool that enables people ask custom questions about their data and receive immediate data-driven answers. During my PhD in Data Science and years of experience as a data scientist and consultant, I've closely collaborated with individuals who lacked data expertise and relied on others when they need insights for their custom questions. This process was often time-consuming and frustrating. DataMotto was born out of a desire to bridge these gaps and alleviate their…
