    Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

    Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

    Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

    Hi there, HN! We’re Jai and Sanket from DeepSource (YC W20), and today we’re launching Autofix Bot, a hybrid static analysis + AI agent purpose-built for in-the-loop use with AI coding agents. AI coding agents have made code generation nearly free, and they’ve shifted the bottleneck to code review. Static-only analysis with a fixed set of checkers isn’t enough. LLM-only review has several limitations: non-deterministic across runs, low recall on security issues, expensive at scale, and a tendency to get ‘distracted’. We spent the last 6 years building a deterministic, static-analysis-only…

    Most of the MCP servers that I’ve seen are tools implemented in standalone projects. To onboard more tools (especially agents and multi-agent workflows) to MCP, I’ve been thinking it’s important to allow AI engineers to continue to prototype in their existing agent frameworks and deploy with minimal conversion when ready. We created the automcp library, which you can add as a dependency to existing projects (CrewAI, LangGraph, Llama Index, OpenAI Agents SDK, Pydantic AI, mcp-agent currently supported but more coming soon). You just need to run a CLI command to create a run_mcp.py file, make…

    As a Security Engineer with over 10+ years in industry, I kept running into the same problem with coding agents: Instructions are not guarantees. I put guidance in `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, memory files, MCP descriptions, and tool documentation. I explicitly told the agent things like: - Use the code graph for architecture questions instead of grepping the repository. - Do not use deprecated APIs or Unsafe code. - Prefer specific tools for specific tasks. The agent would still ignore those instructions surprisingly often. It would grep the entire repo, use deprecated APIs, or choose a slower…
