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:…

Hi HN! We built Zalor. It turns an OpenAPI spec into an MCP server, so you can make your APIs callable by Claude or ChatGPT without writing any code. Here's a list of specs you can try: https://github.com/ZalorAI/test-data/tree/main/openapi, but feel free to use your own. For background, MCP is a protocol that standardizes how you connect tools to AI assistants. We're both engineers at large software companies, and when we worked on MCP integrations we saw how long setup took and how often the spec was changing. So we built a platform to handle the MCP…

I'm relatively new to Go, but recently got interested in how MCP servers work. I started thinking about what the architecture of such a project might look like, and decided to build a minimalist version as an experiment. I based it on my past experience writing regular REST API servers and figured it might be useful or interesting to others as well.

Prepend tomcp.org/ to any URL to instantly turn it into an MCP server. You can either chat directly with the page or add the config to Cursor/Claude to pipe the website/docs straight into your context. Why MCP? Using MCP is better than raw scraping or copy-pasting because it converts the page into clean Markdown. This helps the AI understand the structure better and uses significantly fewer tokens. How it works: It is a proxy that fetches the URL, removes ads and navigation, and exposes the clean content as a standard MCP Resource. Repo:…

Every MCP server injects its full tool schemas into context on every turn — 30 tools costs ~3,600 tokens/turn whether the model uses them or not. Over 25 turns with 120 tools, that's 362,000 tokens just for schemas. mcp2cli turns any MCP server or OpenAPI spec into a CLI at runtime. The LLM discovers tools on demand: mcp2cli --mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse --list # ~16 tokens/tool mcp2cli --mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse create-task --help # ~120 tokens, once mcp2cli --mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse create-task --title "Fix bug" No…

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…
