The Ultimate MCP Client
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…

TrueFoundry AI GatewayDec 2025 · truefoundry.com · ▲315Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…
- STSimple to build MCP servers that easily connect with custom LLM calls2025 · mirascope.com · ▲57
Hi! After learning about MCP, I'm really excited about the future of provider-agnostic, re-usable tooling. Unfortunately I've found that while it's easy to implement an MCP server for use with tools that support it (such as Claude Desktop), it's not as easy to implement your own support (such as integrating an MCP server into your own LLM application). We implemented a thin MCP wrapper that easily integrates with Mirascope calls so that you can hook up an MCP server and client super easily to any supported LLM provider. Excited to see what people build with this!
- MAMy AI Native Resume2025 · ai.jakegaylor.com · ▲301
I've been deeply involved in working with AI agents and large language models (LLMs) for a while now. During a recent job search, I found myself repeatedly explaining my skills and experiences to various assistants. Around the same time, I was creating content for my website to help hiring teams understand my capabilities better and make informed decisions. MCP had started to gain momentum and I saw a way to reduce my toil. So I built an MCP server that can effectively communicate my qualifications as a job candidate. This server acts as an AI-powered resume, providing an understanding of my…
Representing Agents as MCP Servers2025 · github.com · ▲58Hey HN! A few months ago we shared mcp-agent (https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) [1][2], a lightweight framework that implements every agent pattern from Anthropic’s Building Effective Agents blog [3] and handles MCP server/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.…
Permit MCP GatewayMar 2026 · permit.io · ▲134Hi HN, Gabriel, Co-Founder at Permit.io. We're releasing Permit MCP Gateway today, an authorization proxy for MCP servers. TL;DR - we built an MCP Gateway that developers love and CISOs trust. Watch more[0] Now, after your little hate on using fancy copy on HN, to the real thing: MCP is in a strange place. Developers are debating whether it's overcomplicated compared to CLIs or skills files. Meanwhile, enterprises are adopting it by default because every agentic system that acts on your behalf, Cursor, Claude, Copilot, internal agents, needs a stable infrastructure for connecting to tools.…
An MCP Gateway to block the lethal trifecta2025 · github.com · ▲51Hi there, me and some friends were inspired by Simon Willison's recent post on the "lethal trifecta" (https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/ ) and started building a gateway to defend against it. The idea: instead of connecting an LLM directly to multiple MCP servers, you point them all through a Gateway. The Gateway: - Connects to each MCP server and inspects their tools + requirements - Classifies tools along the "trifecta" axes (private data access, untrusted content, external comms) - When all three conditions are about to align in a…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
