   Infrabase▲142

   We too at first thought that letting an LLM manage your AWS account must be a bad idea. What could possibly go wrong?? However we couldn’t resist building it, and when we did, we were surprised how much it can do even in plain vanilla form, which currently is just the ai-sdk frontend with some aws sdk code generation (inspared by aws-mcp). We all but stopped using the AWS console internally and switched to Infrabase - a lot of the time it’s much faster to prompt than to click around in AWS console, especially for things that involve multiple steps, IAM roles, etc. So we started to think of…

    Risk Analysis Database of Every MCP Server▲22

    Hi HN, We’re building security tooling around agentic AI systems. Today, we're releasing our public MCP catalog with detailed risk analysis for every MCP server we've found on the internet: https://mcp.armor1.ai/mcp-directory We all love agents and the power that MCPs unlock: suddenly your AI assistant can query databases, manage files, call APIs, and interact with the real world. But when we started adopting MCPs ourselves, we kept running into the same nagging questions: Is this MCP safe? Where is my data actually going? Could it execute destructive actions? Is it…

    We’re building an open-source tool that makes it easy to expose secure, LLM-optimized APIs on top of your structured data—without manually designing endpoints or worrying about compliance. AI agents and LLM-powered applications need structured access to data, but traditional APIs and databases weren’t built with AI workloads in mind. Our tool automatically generates APIs that: - Filter out PII & sensitive data to comply with GDPR, CPRA, SOC 2, and other regulations. - Provide traceability & auditing, so AI apps aren’t black boxes, and security teams stay in control. - Optimize for AI…

    CyberCage – Security platform for AI tools and MCP servers▲6

    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…
