    Hello HN, Pietro here! I've been really excited to see the recent buzz around MCP and all the cool things people are building with it. Though, the fact that you can use it only through desktop apps really seemed wrong and prevented me for trying most examples, so I wrote a simple client, then I wrapped into some class, and I ended up creating a python package that abstracts some of the async uglyness. You need: * one of those MCPconfig JSONs * 6 lines of code and you can have an agent use the MCP tools from python. The structure is simple: an MCP client creates and manages the connection and…

    I've created a simple automation tool called Sonarless that allows developers to scan their code using SonarQube through an easy-to-use CLI interface. Key Features: - Easy Installation: Just run `curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitricko/sonarless/main/in..." | bash` - Simple Scanning: Run `sonarless scan` from your git root to start scanning and improving your code quality. No need to wait for your admin to set up SonarQube for you. - GitHub Actions Integration: Sonarless GitHub Actions enable you to incorporate code scanning into your CI pipeline…

    I finally got fed up with making work + personal Git repos work on my machine. Ever clone a work repository and accidentally make commits using your personal email? Or forget how to make your work repos use your work SSH key? Yeah... same. So I built the tool I've always wanted. GitPersona - a CLI tool for managing many git profiles on a single machine. Shoutout to my boy Codex for helping me finally ship this.

    I built a CLI tool that lists out all the local git repos within a directory in an easy to read table format including relevant information such as last modified date and the status of branches in the repo, along with whether it is synced with remote or not. It also includes a bunch of flags to get exactly what you want in the format you want. I got this idea as I was trying organize the large amount of local git repos I had. I also found it particularly useful when traveling since I use a different device. In these cases, it is really helpful to know which local git repos I forgot to push…

    I built a small Rust CLI game called GitType. It’s a typing practice tool that takes your own Git repository and turns the code inside into typing material. Instead of random words, you type through real functions, comments, and code you’ve written — making practice feel closer to real-world programming. Features: - Works directly in the terminal (no GUI required) - Pulls text from any local Git repo - Tracks WPM and accuracy - Keeps a history of your past runs (so you can see progress over time) - Fun ranking titles based on your score Source and install instructions:…

    Read an article about analyzing Garmin data with AI. Sounded great — except I didn't want to send my health data to any cloud service. So I asked Claude to write me 2-3 scripts and a dashboard. This escalated a bit. 30 days and 20$ later I have this: A local-first Garmin archive with interactive HTML dashboards, Excel exports, weather and pollen context, AES-256 encrypted token storage, and a self-healing data pipeline with 515 automated tests. Windows desktop app, no terminal needed. Nothing leaves your machine. I never wrote a line of Python. I understood the problems and made the…

    Hey HN, As most of you (I think?), I cannot learn something without having a project, on the side, to implement what I’ve just learned. Recode is the project that I've used to learn Go. It lets you create a development environment in your cloud provider account easily. You can think of it as a desktop version of Gitpod / Coder / GitHub Codespaces less polished and with less features but 100% free and open-source. At the time of writing, it only works with Visual Studio Code and AWS. In order to let you configure your development environments easily, I’ve chosen to use Docker with…

    Hey everyone, we just released a new version of our Infrastructure as Code Python SDK that now runs entirely on your machine - no account required. LaunchFlow extends OpenTofu to provide features like multi-environment support [1], autoconfigured infrastructure clients [2], and API release management [3]. Our goal is to provide a Python-native infrastructure toolkit that handles everything from automating your infrastructure to using it in your application code. You can use our library of preconfigured OpenTofu modules to add GCP / AWS infrastructure to your app with just a few lines of…

    We're two engineers that got fed up with context switching. Why do we need to do a git push, open a browser tab, wait for some task to actually start, bite nails (or read HackerNews) for 10 minutes or more while dependencies are being installed for the 100th time and finally end up with an invalid YAML error. And for some reason this usually happens in the final stage of the pipeline leading up to the inevitable git commits "Fixed", "Fixed again", "Test", "Really fixed this time". We can do better. We set out to build Zippy. A CI/CD system that works from your terminal. No context…

    TLDR; I built a tool that turns any API into a CLI designed for ai agents --- Got tired of dealing with bloated context windows from MCP servers and skills that stuff entire API docs into the agent's context CLIs fix this, agents run a single command to self-discover everything an API has to offer So, built a tool to generate them for any api. All CLIs are written in Go, fast and lightweight, no dependencies Help text (via the --help flag) is the killer feature: all context for each command/endpoint/parameter is extracted directly from the user-facing API docs and enhanced with…
