   MCP server for Blender that builds 3D scenes via natural language▲151

   Hi HN! I built a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Blender to LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and any other llm supporting tool calling and mcps, enabling the AI to understand and control 3D scenes using natural language. You can describe an entire environment like: > “Create a small village with 5 huts arranged around a central bonfire, add a river flowing on the left, place a wooden bridge across it, and scatter trees randomly.” And the system parses that, reasons about the scene, and builds it inside Blender — no manual modeling or scripting needed. What it can do: -…

   An MCP server that gives LLMs temporal awareness and time calculation▲91

   This is an open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any LLM a sense of the passage of time. Most MCP demos wire LLMs to external data stores. That’s useful, but MCP is also a chance to give models perception — extra senses beyond the prompt text. Six functions (`current_datetime`, `time_difference`, `timestamp_context`, etc.) give Claude&#x2F;GPT real temporal awareness: It can spot pauses, reason about rhythms, and even label a chat’s “three‑act structure”. Runs locally in <60 s (Python) or via a hosted demo. If time works, what else could we surface? - Location &#x2F;…

   Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server▲167

   Hey HN, I built pg-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PostgreSQL that provides structured schema inspection and query execution for LLMs and agents. It's multi-tenant and runs over HTTP&#x2F;SSE (not stdio) Features - Supports multiple database connections from multiple agents - Schema Introspection: Returns table structures, types, indexes and constraints; enriched with descriptions from pg_catalog. (for well documented databases) - Read-Only Queries: Controlled execution of queries via MCP. - EXPLAIN Tool: Helps smart agents optimize queries before execution. - Extension…

   An MCP server for understanding AWS costs▲119

   Hey all - I work at Vantage, a FinOps platform. I know AI is peak hype right now. But it has definitely changed some of our dev workflows already. So we wanted to find a way to let our customers experiment with how they can use AI to make their cloud cost management work more productive. The MCP Server acts as a connector between LLMs (right now only Claude, Cursor support it but ChatGPT and Google Gemini coming soon) and your cost and usage data on Vantage which supports 20+ cloud infra providers including AWS, Datadog, Mongo, etc. (You have to have a Vantage account to use it since it's…

   The Ultimate MCP Client▲7

   Over the past couple weeks, l've been really immersed in learning about MCP, a new protocol for equipping any LLM with a set of tools that can run on your own machine or a remote server you control and give all kinds of superpowers to Al agents to do things like search, etc. As part of that research, l've already built one very fleshed-out and useful MCP server that l've shared here (I've added much more to it recently though!), the LLM Gateway MCP Server, which lets you use a big model to delegate to a cheaper model (and many more things in addition to that, like running automated…

    I built an MCP server using Cloudflare's code mode pattern▲87

    Read this article by Cloudflare this morning https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;code-mode&#x2F; the main argument being that LLMs are much better at writing typescript code than tool calls because they've seen typescript code many more times.

    Open-Source MCP Server for Context and AI Tools▲43

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

    One MCP▲13

    Hey HN, I’ve been experimenting with how LLMs can dynamically use large sets of tools without needing to preload them all into context - and built one-mcp to explore that idea. one-mcp is an open source MCP server built with FastAPI that acts as a semantic index + dynamic loader for API tools. Instead of hardcoding or embedding every tool spec in an LLM session (which quickly blows up context size and costs), one-mcp lets the model search, load, and execute tools on demand — using embeddings and natural language queries. What it does: - Semantic Search for Tools: Query your API catalog with…

    MCPGod: Fine-grained control over MCP clients, servers, and tools▲37

    Hey everyone, I've wanted an easy way to control which mcp server tools are available to clients. So for example, I might want a gmail server to only expose the read tool (but not send, delete etc). I figured if I create a cli for spawning mcp servers, I could intercept the stdin, stdout, stderr etc and modify what the clients see when they are making calls to list tools, resources, and prompts. Well it worked! In the initial version you can easily add a server to claude with a safe list of tools: npx -y mcpgod add @modelcontextprotocol&#x2F;server-everything --client claude --tools=echo,add…

    Representing Agents as MCP Servers▲58

    Hey HN! A few months ago we shared mcp-agent (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lastmile-ai&#x2F;mcp-agent) [1][2], a lightweight framework that implements every agent pattern from Anthropic’s Building Effective Agents blog [3] and handles MCP server&#x2F;client management seamlessly. Our core bet is that connecting LLMs to tools, resources, and external systems will soon be MCP-native by default. Today we're launching a significant update: Agents as MCP servers. Currently "agentic" behavior exists only on the MCP client side – clients like Claude or Cursor use MCP servers to solve tasks.…

    ContextGuard▲12

    I built ContextGuard after discovering that 43% of MCP servers have critical security vulnerabilities. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the new standard that lets Claude Clients(Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc.) access external tools and data sources - think of it as a plugin system for AI assistants. The problem: When you give those clients access to your filesystem, databases, or APIs through MCP servers, you're opening up serious attack vectors. Prompt injection, data leakage, and path traversal attacks are all possible. Most developers building MCP servers don't have security expertise,…

    Hyperbrowser MCP Server – Connect AI agents to the web through browsers▲63

We think it’s a pretty neat way to connect LLMs and IDEs like Cursor &#x2F; Windsurf to the internet. Our MCP server exposes seven tools for data collection and browsing: 1. `scrape_webpage` - Extract formatted (markdown, screenshot etc) content from any webpage 2. `crawl_webpages` - Navigate through multiple linked pages and extract LLM-friendly formatted content 3. `extract_structured_data` - Convert messy HTML into structured JSON 4. `search_with_bing` - Query the web and get results…

    A "Codebase" as an MCP Server▲20

    We built a reference MCP server that lets your editor&#x2F;agent learn a codebase directly from source (signatures, types, AST, comments). Docs are optional. The reference impl runs on our open-source project’s codebase. Why we built it Docs are important, but they add another abstraction layer between your code and your users. Keeping them at the right quality is hard (especially at a startup), and LLM-generated docs are often mediocre until you invest real polish. Exposing code to the model in a structured way keeps answers grounded and current, and it’s always available. You can even…
