Webmcp-react – React hooks that turn your website into an MCP server
Chrome recently shipped navigator.modelContext in Early Preview. It's a browser API that lets any website expose typed, callable tools to AI agents. I built webmcp-react because we wanted a simple way to add tools to our React app and figured others could benefit from it as well. You wrap your app in , call useMcpTool with a Zod schema, and that's it. Handles StrictMode, SSR, dynamic mount/unmount, and all of the React lifecycle. It also comes with a Chrome extension in the repo that acts as a bridge for MCP clients (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), since they can't access…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Chrome recently shipped navigator.modelContext in Early Preview. It's a browser API that lets any website expose typed, callable tools to AI agents. I built webmcp-react because we wanted a simple way to add tools to our React app and figured others could benefit from it as well. You wrap your app in <WebMCPProvider>, call useMcpTool with a Zod schema, and that's it. Handles StrictMode, SSR, dynamic mount/unmount, and all of the React lifecycle. It also comes with a Chrome extension in the repo that acts as a bridge for MCP clients (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), since they can't access navigator.modelContext directly. Once Chrome ships native bridging, will depracate the extension. I expect the spec may evolve, but contributions, feedback, and issues welcome!

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…
