    Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

    Agentlyfree tier, from $33/mo▲336

    Agently is an AI Work OS where documents, tasks, team chat, and integrations are fully interconnected, and AI employees operate inside that shared workspace. Instead of prompting AI in isolation, agents can read project context, turn strategy docs into tasks, coordinate with teammates, run research/outreach/content workflows, update boards, and push results back into the system or external tools. The workspace acts as persistent memory, so work continues instead of resetting every prompt. Happy to answer any questions

    I've been an on-call engineer at startups where "incident management" meant someone panic-creating a Slack channel called #fire-fire-fire, or all incidents handled in the #incidents channel at the same time... and the postmortem was whatever someone remembered to write in Notion three days later. So I built a Slack bot to fix my own workflow. Figured I'd share it. What it does: "/incident start sev2 API latency spike" creates a dedicated channel, invites whoever's on-call, pins the details, and starts recording a timeline. When you run "/incident resolve", it uses GPT-4 to analyze…

    Spanly▲77

    Hi 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…

    I built Superfire to solve a problem I kept running into: wanting to quickly demo AI capabilities without setting up custom infrastructure every time. - Connect your MCP servers to create interactive AI agent demos - Generate shareable links with password protection - Usage controls (message limits, tool call limits) to prevent runaway costs - Support for multiple transport types: STDIO, HTTP, and SSE Demoing MCP Servers usually requires custom deployment, Docker containers, or asking people to run things locally. Superfire eliminates that. Use cases I'm seeing: - AI/ML engineers…

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

    Every other gateway is detect-and-block. You don't get a security grade. You don't get red team in CI. We built the one that does. PromptGuard is a proxy: change your base URL (one line with our SDK, or a few lines without), and every request gets checked for prompt injection, PII leaks, jailbreaks, and abuse. 20+ threat vectors, 39+ PII types. We also ship a red team suite and an autonomous agent that mutates attacks to find bypasses - you get a grade (A-F) and a GitHub Action that runs these tests on every PR. So you see where you're weak before you ship. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic,…
