Show HN: GuMCP – Open-source MCP servers, hosted for free 22 by murb | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hello! We open sourced all our current MCP servers to platforms like Slack, Google sheets, Linear, Perplexity and will be contributing a few more integrations every day to the project. problems we're hoping to solve: - Many people are creating MCP servers for the same apps. They're scattered across different repos but flavors of the same thing. We're making one standardized mono project for all MCP servers. - Startups are charging for hosting MCP servers. This is blocking tons of people from being able to play around with MCP casually. We're hosting them for free. - Non-technical people should be able to use MCP without needing to learn how to clone a repo and set up a venv. We're trying to enable a one click integration if people want to use the free hosted service. The plan is to keep contributing until we have an MCP server for basically every useful app anyone co...

Show HN: Hexi, modern header-only network binary serialisation for C++ hackers 13 by Chaosvex | 2 comments on Hacker News. Over the last few years, I've needed an easy way to quickly serialise and deserialise various network protocols safely and efficiently. Most of the libraries that existed at the time were either quite heavy, had less than stellar performance, or were an abstraction level above what I was looking for. I decided to put together my own class to do the job, starting with an easy, low-overhead way to move bytes in and out of arbitrary buffers. Along the way, it picked up useful bits and pieces, such as buffer structures and allocators that made the byte shuffling faster, often being able to do it with zero allocations and zero copies. Safety features came along to make sure that malicious packet data or mistakes in the code wouldn't result in segfaults or vulnerabilities. It's become useful enough to me that I've packaged it up in its own standalone l...

Show HN: AgentKit – JavaScript Alternative to OpenAI Agents SDK with Native MCP 42 by tonyhb | 10 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I’m Tony, co-founder of Inngest. I wanted to share AgentKit, our Typescript multi-agent library we’ve been cooking and testing with some early users in prod for months. Although OpenAI’s Agents SDK has been launched since, we think an Agent framework should offer more deterministic and flexible routing, work with multiple model providers, embrace MCP (for rich tooling), and support the unstoppable and growing community of TypeScript AI developers by enabling a smooth transition to production use cases. This is why we are building AgentKit, and we’re really excited about it for a few reasons: Firstly, it’s simple. We embrace KISS principles brought by Anthropic and HuggingFace by allowing you to gradually add autonomy to your AgentKit program using primitives: - Agents: LLM calls that can be combined with prompts, tools, and MCP native support. - Networks:...

Show HN: We built an agentic image editor that preserves the original structure 3 by sakofchit | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I’ve been experimenting with app where you can edit images in your camera roll simply by tweaking your photo’s metadata (changing location/time) and our agent will contextually regenerate the photo in that place & time in one shot. There's no prompting involved. One of the hardest problems we’ve seen with these ai image editing/creation tools is that they struggle with preserving the subjects of the original image (faces, genders, number of people, bodies, animals, etc), and I think we’ve gotten a step closer to making it feel more realistic. The gallery has some examples that people have been regenerating. https://ift.tt/G9d4yz6 Here’s a demo: https://ift.tt/gXGSneH Feel free to dm me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sakofchit if you’d like to try out the TestFlight in the meantime Would love to know what y'all think!

Show HN: Localscope–Limit scope of Python functions for reproducible execution 17 by tillahoffmann | 6 comments on Hacker News. localscope is a small Python package that disassembles functions to check if they access global variables they shouldn't. I wrote this a few years ago to detect scope bugs which are common in Jupyter notebooks. It's recently come in handy writing jax code ( https://ift.tt/v8izpqg ) because it requires pure functions. Thought I'd share.

Show HN: Pi Labs – AI scoring and optimization tools for software engineers 10 by achintms | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, after years building some of the core AI and NLU systems in Google Search, we decided to leave and build outside. Our goal was to put the advanced ML and DS techniques we’ve been using in the hands of all software engineers, so that everyone can build AI and Search apps at the same level of performance and sophistication as the big labs. This was a hard technical challenge but we were very inspired by the MVC architecture for Web development. The intuition there was that when a data model changes, its view would get auto-updated. We built a similar architecture for AI. On one side is a scoring system, which encapsulates in a set of metrics what’s good about the AI application. On the other side is a set of optimizers that “compile” against this scorer - prompt optimization, data filtering, synthetic data generation, supervised learning, RL, etc. The scoring...

Show HN: Nuanced – Help AI understand code structure, not just text 12 by aymandfire | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! We built Nuanced ( https://ift.tt/6vqjHV0 ), an open-source Python library that makes AI coding tools smarter about code structure. The problem: current AI coding assistants see code as just text. They don't understand which functions call which, or how code components depend on each other. This is why they often suggest changes that break dependencies they should have known about. Nuanced solves this by generating call graphs that map these relationships. When you ask "What would break if I change this function?", instead of guessing, the AI can see the actual dependencies. How it works: 1. Run `nuanced init .` to analyze a Python module in your codebase 2. Use `nuanced enrich app/file.py function_name` to get relationship data 3. Include this data in your AI prompts or integrate it into tools We're already working with teams building AI coding ...

Show HN: A big tech dev experience for an open source CMS 16 by randall | 9 comments on Hacker News. # Show HN: A big tech dev experience for an open source CMS. Hey HN! We're building an open-source CMS designed to help creators with every part of the content production pipeline. We're showing our tiny first step: A tool designed to take in a Twitter username and produce an "identity card" based on it. We expect to use an approach similar to [Constitutional AI] with an explicit focus on repeatability, testability, and verification of an "identity card." We think this approach could be used to create finetuning examples for training changes, or serve as inference time insight for LLMs, or most likely a combination of the two. The tooling we're showing today is extremely simplistic (and the AI is frankly bad) but this is intentional. We're more focused on showing the dev experience and community aspects. We'd like to make it easier to contribut...
