MCP on OAuth 2.1: one URL and a consent click, no API key

Adding my tracker to Claude takes one URL and one click on a consent screen. Nobody makes a key, copies it, or pastes it anywhere. The constraint: an MCP client that a person uses every day should not hold a long-lived secret the person had to handle by hand, and the person should be able to see and cut off what it can reach. I'm Panth, and I lead the software team at Oizom. This is from ticket-tracker , my open-source board. Its decisions page lists the choices that are expensive to reve...

What It Costs to Turn Lovable Into an App

Turning a Lovable app into an iPhone and Android app costs $124 in store fees in the first year ($99 a year for Apple's Developer Program, $25 once for Google Play) plus the build itself, which with us is a fixed $300, $600 or $1,000 depending on how many screens the app has. So a typical 10-screen Lovable app lands at about $724 for year one, and $99 a year after that, before the stores take their cut of any sales. People searching "how much does it cost to make an app" get quotes from $5,00...

MCP configs are the new .env files — I found live database keys committed on GitHub

MCP configs are the new .env files. I scanned GitHub and found live database keys committed in public repos. If you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Windsurf with external tools, you have an .mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json file on your machine. It tells your editor which MCP servers to start, and each server entry can carry an env block. That env block is a secret store. And developers are pasting real keys into it — then committing the file. What I fo...

Claude Code with Ollama: Run an AI Coding Agent on Local and Cloud LLMs

The need Claude Code is a powerful coding agent in the terminal, but by default it relies on a paid Claude account or API billing. I wanted to use it without depending on a single paid provider: running a model locally to keep my code on my machine, and falling back to free cloud models when a small local model is not enough. What we will build Claude Code installed in the terminal. Ollama installed on Windows. Claude Code linked to a local LLM through Ollama. An alternative wi...
