Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?

I’ve been following MCP since it first came out. It got a lot of attention early on, but I haven’t come across many people using it in production. I may simply have missed them. If you’re using MCP in production, what are you using it for? What advantages have you found over a normal API or direct tool integration or just CLI?

The unusually muted Tesla Cybercab launch

At a private, closed-door event in Austin, Texas today, Tesla officially launched its gilded car of the future: the Cybercab. It's a huge milestone for Elon Musk, who has been hyping the imminent arrival of driverless cars for years and has bet the future of his company on AI, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots. It […]

Nvidia will officially bring DLSS 5 to older GPUs — but won’t give gamers full control

Officially, Nvidia's controversial DLSS 5 AI rendering was supposed to launch this evening with only a single game, only on Nvidia's latest RTX 50 GPUs, and with developers in full control of their artistic vision. But unofficially, modders have already ported a leaked version of DLSS 5 to run on just about anything while cranking […]

Why Your AI Bill is a Roadmap (Not a Budget Leak): 5 Surprising Lessons from the Frontlines of Tokenomics

Introduction: The Death of the Static License For decades, technology leadership operated in a world of predictable, seat-based software licenses. You bought a seat, you knew the price, and your FinOps team rarely had to hunt for "top offenders." But the era of agentic AI has introduced a fundamental shift into "tokenomics." Unlike the fixed costs of the past, AI operates on a variable, usage-based model where every prompt and response is like a kilowatt-hour on an electric meter. The ol...

AI Can Write Your Code. Can It Actually Debug It?

AI Can Write Your Code. Can It Actually Debug It? AI coding assistants have changed how developers write software. You can describe a feature, generate a function, refactor a component, write a test, or explain an unfamiliar codebase in seconds. But there is one part of software development that is still surprisingly difficult: figuring out why something broke. Writing code and investigating a failure are two very different problems. When an application crashes, the answer u...

I built a browser game that asks your microphone to imitate a robot

I wanted a microphone project with a very small brief: hear a sound, copy it, and see how close you got. That became Mimic Party Online , a browser game where each round gives you a short sound cue and one recording attempt. The cue might be a meme clip, an animal call, a machine noise, or something that is hard to describe without making the sound yourself. It looks like a toy, and it is. It also turned into a useful little audio problem. A score based only on volume would be boring, so ...

I pulled Roblox's public API every day for a week to watch one game go vertical

Late August I kept seeing the name Dungeon Lootr in places it hadn't been before. I wanted to know whether the game was actually growing or whether I was just noticing it more. Turns out Roblox exposes enough public data to answer that without an API key, so I started pulling it every day. The endpoint is boring in the best way: curl "https://games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=9656201728" You get back visits , playing , favoritedCount , updated and a few other fi...

Stop Wasting API Tokens: How to Bridge ChatGPT Web to Your IDE Using MCP

If you are an active user of AI-powered IDEs like Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, or Windsurf, you already know the sinking feeling of seeing this notification: "You have used 100% of your fast premium requests for this billing cycle." Suddenly, your snappy, context-aware coding assistant slows to a crawl or starts racking up expensive pay-as-you-go API bills. At the same time, you are likely paying $20/month for a ChatGPT Plus or Team subscription that sits underutilized in a brow...

What I learned building an enemy state machine in Godot 4

I wrote "just use a match statement, it's fine" three times before I stopped saying it. It is fine, right up until an enemy needs a fourth state and two of the transitions start depending on each other. Here is what actually cost time building enemy AI for a wave-based game, in the order it bit me. Lesson 1: the match statement is fine until state 4 A two-state enemy — chase, attack — is genuinely not worth a framework: func _physics_process ( delta : float ) ...

Password Reset Email Deliverability for Custom Domain Provider (and Bounce Evidence Limits)

Short answer: for marketplace password recovery, choose the delivery setup that can prove what happened to every message, then keep the suppression decision in your own system. Inbox placement matters, but an evidence trail is the decision axis. A custom sending domain with aligned DKIM and SPF, bounce events, and exportable history gives an auditor something better than a green dashboard. The decision note: which delivery shape leaves evidence? Delivery shape Evidence y...

Python PDF Archiving: 5 Checks for Fidelity, Latency, Privacy, and Retention

Short answer: for a US/EU SaaS archiving completed education forms, use an explicit fill job, require a flattened PDF as its output, and accept a provider only after representative files pass fidelity, latency, privacy, retention, and replay checks. Batch throughput is the deciding metric, but throughput that produces editable or unauditable records is a losing trade. The practical flow is small: the application validates a form request, submits one PDF job, waits for a terminal result, valid...

Protótipos: como a herança realmente funciona no JavaScript

Introdução Muitas linguagens como C#, Java, entre outras são descritas como orientadas a objeto, possibilitando o paradigma Programação Orientada a Objeto (POO). No entanto, quando falamos de JS, sabemos que por mais que existam objetos, ela é dita como uma linguagem orientada a protótipos, mas o que de fato isso significa, qual problema isso resolve e como muda a maneira como programamos? O problema Tanto a orientação a objeto quanto a orientação a protótipo lidam, entre out...

Go PDF Image Asset Extraction: Reliable Latency Under Gaming Load

Short answer: The PDF processing concepts developers should understand before designing reliable image asset extraction under load are object-versus-render semantics, fidelity contracts, byte-and-pixel admission limits, bounded concurrency, deadlines, idempotency, and separate verification for assets and flattened pages. For a gaming backend, that distinction matters when a player-submitted PDF feeds both a filled, flattened form and a set of review thumbnails. The form output needs visual c...

What a Linux Safety Certification Actually Covers

A Linux safety certification is a statement about one defined software configuration running on named hardware, assessed by a named body. It is not a statement about the Linux kernel, and it does not give your item its integrity level. The document describing how a component like the kernel enters an ISO 26262 argument at all is ISO/PAS 8926:2024, published on 29 January 2024, which moves the question away from code quality and towards classification, complexity and evidence.

Muse Spark 1.3 - A Review

The Bad I'll start with the bad, just because I like to end with the positive :) Skill Usage It's not that good following skills. If the skill has disable-model-invocation , sometimes it refuses to launch it, even if you manually call it. I think it happens when you call the skill mid-sentence, but it's not...
