What it does
Local-first MCP server for AI coding agents. A 24 MB Rust binary that replaces Read, Grep, and Glob with 12 symbol-aware tools — 15–35× token reduction, 8 ms queries on 320K symbols. Your code never leaves your machine.
Local-first MCP server for AI coding agents. A small Rust binary that replaces Read, Grep, and Glob with 20 symbol-aware tools — graph-aware navigation across 9 languages, multi-repo activation, 15–30× token reduction, 8 ms queries on 320K symbols, per-call measured token-savings telemetry. Source files stay on your machine.
recon is a local-first code intelligence MCP server for AI coding agents. A small Rust binary that replaces Read , Grep , and Glob with 20 symbol-aware tools . 15–30× fewer tokens on typical exploration. recon init --mcp <ide> writes the IDE's MCP config and a strict-policy agent rules file so the agent uses recon's code_* tools before Read / Grep / Glob by default. Twenty tools — symbol-and-text primitives, graph-aware traversal for "how does X reach Y?" and "what breaks if I change this?", and telemetry so you can prove the savings. Token-savings telemetry runs alongside every call — per-call measured against the in-process Read/grep equivalent for the 8 direct file/grep tools,…from mcprecon.pages.dev

ht-mcp – a Rust MCP server of headless terminal for agents2025 · github.com · ▲25We built a Rust MCP server, which wraps the excellent headless terminal (HT)[1] to makes it available for agentic coding tools. Most agentic coding tools struggle with blocking, interactive terminal tools (all the boilerplate generator, infra CLI tools etc). This is because many existing CLI dev tools are built for humans and require interactive input. We built this so agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Memex, etc) can “see” and “interact” with terminals exactly like humans do. In our demo video [2], you'll see it operating vim/emacs just as a human would - selecting options,…

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.
