    I’ve been building and using agents heavily lately. The Model Context Protocol ecosystem is growing insanely fast, but discovering and configuring new tools is still highly manual. Every time I needed to connect an agent to a new service, I had to browse registries, figure out the transport type, identify required env vars, and manually update "mcp.json" files. So I built MCPfinder. It aggregates servers from the official MCP registry, Glama, and Smithery (around 25,000 combined entries) into a deduplicated, ranked catalog. But the real twist is the DX: MCPfinder is itself an MCP server :D…

    I built MCPlexor to solve a token waste problem I kept running into with MCP-based agents. The Problem: MCP (Model Context Protocol) is great for giving LLMs access to external tools. But if you connect multiple servers (GitHub, Linear, Postgres, Slack), you end up with 40-50k tokens of tool definitions injected into every request – before the agent even does anything. On a 200k context model, that's 25% gone. On smaller models, it's worse. And most runs only use 1-2 tools. The Solution: MCPlexor sits between your agent and your MCP servers. Instead of loading all tool definitions upfront:…

    Project Page: https://rotel.dev Github: https://github.com/streamfold/rotel Hi HN, Ray and Mike here! We’re building Rotel, a new high performance, resource efficient approach to OpenTelemetry collection. Rotel is open source (Apache License 2.0) and runs as a standalone process and collects telemetry from external processes or other collection agents. It consumes 75% less memory and 50% less CPU in benchmarks https://streamfold.github.io/rotel-otel-loadtests/benchmarks, so it is particularly well-suited for environments where resource…

    Hi HN, I'm Gzuuus, the creator of ContextVM this is my first post here, hope you find it interesting! I started building ContextVM some months ago, this is an open protocol that runs the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over Nostr. In practice, it’s a transport for MCP that lets you expose remote servers without needing a domain, inbound ports, or OAuth, clients, and servers only need an outbound internet connection. The problem I ran into: When deploying a remote MCP server you can feel the pain. You usually need a domain name, a static IP, TLS certificates, port forwarding, and some way to…

    Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) has made it easy to spin up servers that expose tools and data to LLMs. A lot of these MCP servers run locally because they need access to your files, shell, browser, etc. The problem: they typically run with the same privileges as your user. If a server is buggy, misconfigured, or prompt-injected, it can do anything you can do: read SSH keys, exfiltrate dotfiles, poke around in private repos, etc. Our research group is working on this by adding a security manifest (inspired by the Android app manifest) plus a local policy enforcement engine that…

    Hi HN! I'm Noah, an ordinary guy that got really interested in MCP about a month ago when I downloaded Cursor. It's been super exciting to see companies around the world launch their own MCP servers empowering AI to do more. Unfortunately, I got a bit overwhelmed setting up MCP servers across my clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code, so I figured I'd take a shot at building an open-source tool to help others and myself! So yeah, I built a CLI tool that enables you to quickly get MCP servers from the Web integrated with your clients like Cursor and Claude Desktop. You can use…

    We've been building with AI tools and noticed there wasn't a good way to manage MCP servers across a team or see what's actually flowing to LLM providers. Who's running what? Which tools are approved? What data is going where or whats shared on AI websites? So we built CyberCage (). What it does: MCP Management — Auto or manual discovery of MCP servers, with approval workflows. Manage allowed MCP servers org-wide (down to individual tools). Secure MCP catalog (integrates with GitHub's MCP Catalog). Operations — Manage allowed AI applications org-wide. Full audit logs (Splunk integration…

    Hey HN, we’re launching OpenMemory (https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/main/openmemory), an open source tool that lets you run a personal, portable memory layer for LLMs. Fully self-hosted and under your control. It uses standard MCP protocol and plugs into any MCP client (like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, etc.) over Server-Sent Events (SSE). https://mem0.ai/blog/how-to-make-your-clients-more-context-a... is a complete tutorial that shows how to set it up locally, the underlying components involved, complete overview of architecture and…
