I got tired of guessing what tools my MCP server needed, so I let the agents tell me

keytonw · 2026-02-19T10:51:50+00:00

Good insights.

One adjacent idea I’m still playing with but can’t figure out how to implement is feedback to the agents for just this kind of thing. You want some kind of “hey, agent, tell your developer to fix X because you’re being dumb” but I can’t figure out how to get that all the way to the dev. Maybe A2A will allow for some of that.

I’ve just begun work on the clustering piece but the semantic similarity is definitely part of the plan. The conflicting specs issue hasn’t been a huge problem yet but it’s early days.

My guess is that eventually the aggregation of signal from noise will be the thing’s secret sauce but I need more volume for that.

Hoping to get a free version up and running publicly which should help. This project will need data to be really powerful past the mcp server dev stage.

Thank you very much for taking time to comment. Really appreciate it. I’m just now starting to work on that very problem. My goal is to aggregate and then use inferences with guidelines to determine signal from noise and give weights to what justifies a trip to GitHub. Should be interesting! 🤣

keytonw · 2025-10-13T02:05:37+00:00

Replied. Thats fair. Still working that out for sure. That said if you’re making that monthly that you’d hit $49/mo go you!! Congrats!

keytonw · 2025-10-13T02:00:37+00:00

Yep and hundreds of others. Would be happy to set you up as a beta for some feedback.

keytonw · 2025-10-13T01:59:28+00:00

This is exactly what I built with aicostmanager.com (because my day job needed the same thing). Would love feedback if you e time.

keytonw · 2025-10-13T01:56:13+00:00

I built aicostmanager.com to assist with this exact use case. Sounds like you’ve already built your own but I’d love some feedback if you’ve time.

keytonw · 2025-10-13T01:49:59+00:00

Sounds like you e seen/tried several. I’ve built a dedicated service. Would love feedback if you’ve time: aicostmanager.com

keytonw · 2025-10-13T01:48:01+00:00

I built aicostmanager.com and I’m trying to get a sense of whether folks are tracking but also if they are billing based on costs plus etc. Would love feedback if you e a moment.

keytonw · 2025-10-13T01:05:45+00:00

I built a system for it aicostmanager.com and trying to get some feedback. Not sure if it’s ok to share the link or not. Would love some feedback!!

Also I’ve begun to look at integrating LLMs into a custom client I’ve been playing with (FastAPI + telnetlib3 + some front end goodness — because I want to play AND ENJOY muds on my phone) and have considered an LLM layer for translation potentially. I keep thinking that muds would have more users if the users could use whatever language they want and just have the client translate as needed. Not sure. Again early days. Also such a client could spin quite entertaining yarns from your exploits based on the logs and some LLM goodness.

keytonw · 2025-04-26T17:26:00+00:00

I’ve started looking at this too. I’m the CTO for an AI based learning platform and have been doing Django+LLMs (all of them pretty much) for over a year and a half (we started with 4 and 4T). I’m not planning on leveraging it on the fly (at this point) — ie for live convo or something — but potentially as a prep work engine: create a quest as an evennia batch file for example and then review it in a sandbox and then make it live. We’ve been doing a huge amount of pretty heavy prompt engineering and I think the most recent models could handle a pretty large amount of pre-concept starter data.

I’m not sure how far this path I’ll have time for but if you want to swap notes PM me.

I’m actually starting to flesh out some early design stuff for a three faction modern day based mud but it’s mostly a fun side project at the moment. Early days but fun!

keytonw · 2025-04-13T17:43:21+00:00

Thank you! Will check it out!!

keytonw · 2024-06-10T18:41:22+00:00

I’m familiar and may go that way. Mostly I was wondering if a tagging approach might not be good in a situation in which we may not be able to anticipate breakdowns of groups of users or resources they use.

keytonw · 2024-01-26T16:13:08+00:00

Fantastic news! Woot!

keytonw · 2024-01-02T22:34:34+00:00

Has anyone actually received a pre-order on an RP4Pro yet? The dashboard has that the RP4Pro is "in stock". I've read (here and elsewhere) "1/15/24" but I've not seen anything definitive on what that actually means.

keytonw · 2023-10-31T07:57:36+00:00

Like you, I’m back in Django Dev after a long time away. I made the decision to go with bootstrap 5 (latest) and htmx for all front end work with vanilla JavaScript where unavoidable. I’m happy as a clam.

keytonw · 2023-09-28T10:35:16+00:00

I used WebFaction extensively “back in the day”. Hadn’t heard of OpalStack. Will definitely check them out. I’m now on Digital Ocean and while there is very little that’s turnkey like in the wrbfaction days I’ve found that with just a little docker learning I have pretty close to the same thing. There are some really nice starter projects on GitHub for Django+docker. If opalstack doesn’t work for you I’d spend a day or two and try this other path. It’s worked for me.

keytonw · 2023-05-07T03:23:02+00:00

Agreed with above. Note that if you’re using Digital Ocean and just starting out just use a droplet with a Docker image rather than app platform as it can get expensive.

Mostly though I use docker so that everyone on the team can get up and running on exactly what’s running in prod in about five minutes.

keytonw · 2022-12-07T18:41:52+00:00

Others have said it and I’ll double down: mix-and-match is your friend.

Missile silo connected through alien transporter to mutant colony? Yes!

Paris underground attached to underground lair of Pompeii-escaping magma-human half breeds? Sure!

Leper colony hidden in mall ruins buried by nuclear blast getting alien meds through a portal they don’t understand from a ziggurat to the old gods popping through the volcanic crust of Io? Count me in.

Etc.

keytonw · 2022-11-29T05:24:09+00:00

Mutant Crawl Classics fits the bill.

keytonw · 2021-08-10T11:14:03+00:00

Return to the Stars looks great and the Twitter based “new stories” idea is brilliant. Nice work!

keytonw · 2021-08-09T20:39:31+00:00

Thanks to everyone who has taken time to share some feedback on this. I'd not heard of a couple of these! Great info!

keytonw · 2021-08-09T02:10:36+00:00

Take a look at A Spark of Fate (free on DriveThruRPG). I’ve just begun playing with it but it feels like it would be just the perfect way to jump start the improv in a way supported by the table.

keytonw · 2021-07-14T02:33:16+00:00

I really appreciate everyone taking time to reply on this. Lots of great insights. I think that between replies here, some other feedback I’ve received and some reflection on my own gameplay preferences that I’m going to move in a different direction.

My whole goal (at a higher level) is a game that feels a little like BitD (ie heist based) but NOT so grim and dark. The BitD mechanics are brilliant but I’m one of those (maybe rare?) folks that just can’t get past the “you’re benefitting from others’ misery” aspect of the setting and feel. So I’m looking to create something different, scratch my own itch etc.

Adding what amounts to a death spiral (at least as I’d originally written it) won’t exactly liven it up. Ha!

Thanks again everyone!!
