LangAlpha – what if Claude Code was built for Wall Street?
Some technical context on what we ran into building this. MCP tools don't really work for financial data at scale. One tool call for five years of daily prices dumps tens of thousands of tokens into the context window. And data vendors pack dozens of tools into a single MCP server, schemas alone can eat 50k+ tokens before the agent does anything useful. So we auto-generate typed Python modules from the MCP schemas at workspace init and upload them into the sandbox. The agent just imports them like a normal library. Only a one-line summary per server stays in the prompt. We have around 80…

In plain words
LangAlpha is an AI coding assistant designed for financial analysis and research. It addresses limitations of standard AI agents when working with financial data at scale by auto-generating typed Python modules from data tool schemas, reducing token consumption and prompt overhead. The tool supports persistent research across sessions and integrates approximately 80 financial data tools while keeping prompt costs constant regardless of server complexity. It is built for financial professionals and developers who need efficient, token-aware AI assistance for quantitative work and market research.

Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

Alpha Vantage MCPNov 2025 · mcp.alphavantage.co · ▲104We just released an MCP server that lets Claude (or any MCP client) pull real-time and historical financial data: equities, options chains, crypto, FX, commodities, fundamentals, economic indicators, and 50+ technical signals. You can ask things like: “Plot NVDA’s RSI vs AMD’s over the past year.” “Show the yield curve shift since 2020.” “What are Apple’s recent earnings surprise trends? “Make a 3-statement model for ORCL.” Claude runs the requests, does the math, and returns the data or generates charts/models all inside the chat. Setup takes about a minute. You’ll need Claude Pro…
AI BrowserNov 2025 · aibrowser.surf · ▲143Hey HN! I built Browser AI after getting frustrated with the official Playwright MCP server in Claude Code. If you've used it, you know the pain: - 20+ separate tools that Claude has to juggle (click, fill, navigate, wait_for_selector, etc.) - Context window explosions from verbose screenshot data and DOM snapshots - Constant tool selection errors where Claude picks the wrong tool or forgets parameters Browser AI wraps Playwright MCP with a single natural language interface. Instead of Claude managing dozens of tools, you get one: browser_ai.execute. Just tell it what you want in plain…
Context Mode – 315 KB of MCP output becomes 5.4 KB in Claude CodeFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲84Every MCP tool call dumps raw data into Claude Code's 200K context window. A Playwright snapshot costs 56 KB, 20 GitHub issues cost 59 KB. After 30 minutes, 40% of your context is gone. I built an MCP server that sits between Claude Code and these outputs. It processes them in sandboxes and only returns summaries. 315 KB becomes 5.4 KB. It supports 10 language runtimes, SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking for search, and batch execution. Session time before slowdown goes from ~30 min to ~3 hours. MIT licensed, single command install: /plugin marketplace add mksglu/claude-context-mode…
delegareApr 2026 · delegare.dev · ▲70Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
