MCP-C – cloud platform for running MCP agents and apps
Hello HN! Earlier this year, we shared mcp-agent (https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) [1][2], a lightweight framework for building agents with MCP. Since then we have tried to push the protocol to the limits, including hosting agents as long-running tools on MCP [3], and seen other creative approaches surface (mcp-ui, chatgpt apps sdk). Today, we are launching mcp-c – a cloud platform designed for hosting any kind of MCP server, including agents, ChatGPT apps, etc. We are in open beta and free to use, and would love your feedback. Here are some key choices we made:…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello HN! Earlier this year, we shared mcp-agent (https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) [1][2], a lightweight framework for building agents with MCP. Since then we have tried to push the protocol to the limits, including hosting agents as long-running tools on MCP [3], and seen other creative approaches surface (mcp-ui, chatgpt apps sdk). Today, we are launching mcp-c – a cloud platform designed for hosting any kind of MCP server, including agents, ChatGPT apps, etc. We are in open beta and free to use, and would love your feedback. Here are some key choices we made: 1) Everything is MCP - Each application is deployed as a remote SSE endpoint, and implements the full MCP spec, including advanced features like elicitation, sampling, notifications and logging. 2) Durable execution via Temporal - We use Temporal as the runtime environment, allowing you to run long-running operations. This is especially critical for agents, which need to pause/resume, be fault-tolerant, and run for a long time. 3) Local to Cloud - we're fans of how easy it is to deploy a Next.js app to Vercel, so we've made it simple to take your local mcp-agent, mcp server, OpenAI app, etc. and deploy it to the cloud. We have several examples and even a handy CLI to get started quickly [4]. It's as simple as: - uvx mcp-agent init - uv init - uv add "mcp-agent[openai]" - uvx mcp-agent login # add your openai key to mcp_agent.secrets.yaml - uvx mcp-agent deploy You can also try out these hosted mcp servers to get an idea. These can be connected to any MCP client (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, etc.) OpenAI Pizza App - https://18t536mliucyeuhkkcnjdavxtyg66pgl.deployments.mcp-age... Basic Agent Server - https://1m82g32x8nkoppinayx0k5ye12oar6vk.deployments.mcp-age... The HN community has been a big part of mcp-agent's growth, and we're super excited to share this with you as well. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! --- [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42867050 [2] - https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent [3] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44053754 [4] - https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent/tree/main/examples/...

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
