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:…

Hey folks, I've been building AI agents that need to talk to various APIs, and I got tired of writing custom integrations for every service. So I built the MCP-OpenAPI Server to solve this problem! It's a simple bridge that lets AI agents discover and use our existing OpenAPI endpoints through the Model Context Protocol. No need to write custom code for each service - just point it at the OpenAPI specs, choose which endpoints to expose, and you're good to go. What makes this different from other MCP servers is that it uses SSE transport instead of stdio, making it work well for multi-tenant…

MCP Playground▲160MCP Playground is a Postman-style tool for MCP — inspect servers, execute tools live, test your client, all from the browser. Four things in one place: 1. Free hosted MCP servers — four public test servers anyone can point their client at: Echo (connectivity), Auth (Bearer token flow), Error (error handling), Complex (multi-tool schemas).No sign-up, just use the URL. 2. Server inspector — paste any remote MCP server URL, see all its tools/resources/prompts, execute them live, inspect the full JSON-RPC log. HTTP, SSE, and WebSocket all supported. 3. Registry — 10,000+ servers…

TLDR: OpenAPI-MCP is a Dockerized server that dynamically generates Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool definitions directly from your Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. It allows your AI agent to seamlessly access any API without additional coding, streamlining development and eliminating repetitive manual setup.

Working in IT at a company with a change management process? How are you handling MCPs? Not at all? With very expensive tools not up to the task? How about just making it fit into your current setup! We needed to build this for inxm.ai, and realised this was the perfect time to give back to the community. Enterprise MCP Bridge is Open Source and solves Auth, Multi User, and REST apis by wrapping your existing MCPs.

Hey HN, Sagiv from liblab is here. We've been deep in the world of API tooling for years at liblab, primarily focusing on generating SDKs and documentation from OpenAPI specs. Recently, we kept running into a recurring frustration: connecting AI tools to existing APIs is way more complex than it should be. You start with a simple goal – let an LLM talk to your API – and suddenly you're neck-deep in spinning up infrastructure, wrestling with authentication, and writing a ton of custom glue code just to translate natural language into structured API calls. Then you have to maintain it all. To…

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.

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…

One MCP▲13Hey HN, I’ve been experimenting with how LLMs can dynamically use large sets of tools without needing to preload them all into context - and built one-mcp to explore that idea. one-mcp is an open source MCP server built with FastAPI that acts as a semantic index + dynamic loader for API tools. Instead of hardcoding or embedding every tool spec in an LLM session (which quickly blows up context size and costs), one-mcp lets the model search, load, and execute tools on demand — using embeddings and natural language queries. What it does: - Semantic Search for Tools: Query your API catalog with…
