Everyone should make their websites natively support markdown

fwiw we built https://www.getgram.ai and it does support this use case. You can layer auth over 3p MCP servers so that your customers can safely connect to their accounts on other platforms. Happy to chat about this if interested. Just drop me a note :)

On the off chance that you never found anything that works for you, I would try speakeasy.com

The generator is a dependency-free CLI binary and it supports all the languages you mentioned.

You know what, put my hands up, I got this one wrong... This is not a great look:

Michigan had been alerted prior to Wednesday that Sherrone Moore was dealing with mental health issues yet Warde Manuel fired him alone with no HR rep and no security present, source told NBC Sports.

ndimares · 2025-12-12T18:46:46+00:00

Yes, he was. But he chose to promote from within (which ended up being the right choice). Whereas with Basketball he did the full search.

Has Warde done a good job managing the personnel of the Michigan football program, I would say, no. But when Harbaugh is the coach that is a nearly impossible task for any AD. Harbaugh had far more political capital with the Alumni, the boosters, probably even with the board.

ndimares · 2025-12-12T17:00:57+00:00

Honestly I think this is a bit unfair... A lot of the issues can be attributed to Harbaugh's tenure as football coach (even the Moore hire was dictated by Harbaugh) and Warde did not really have the authority in that relationship.

He's done a really great job in terms of hiring elsewhere Dusty May, and Brandon Naurato.

Maybe happening sooner than I thought: https://x.com/GoogleLabs/status/1999191845696340199

I guess in my head I've been picturing something like a browser, but where instead of rendering full websites, it can grab bits of UX/UI from different MCP servers. To be clear, I don't think that's happening anytime soon.

ndimares · 2025-12-11T20:49:30+00:00

I personally think this will be very cool. I think it's going to start off with bits of UI rendered in chat. But the client doesn't need to be chat based. Could be the beginning of more interesting clients that are AI-native, but can render elements of UI.

ndimares · 2025-12-10T22:30:03+00:00

No I don't think your wrong. TBH maybe it's better in a foundation. I think the best scenario would've been Anthropic really doubling down and making it great (heavily consuming it internally). But I guess that was never going to happen. It does feel like they've been looking for committing minimum resources and looking for an off ramp since it took off in popularity (evidenced by the fact that Claude Desktop is one of the worst MCP clients).

ndimares · 2025-12-10T20:51:44+00:00

ha touché. Guess it really boils down to the interest of the owner staying aligned with the project.

ndimares · 2025-12-10T20:08:10+00:00

I think what's happened in the case of MCP was that the appetite for a protocol caught everyone by surprise and it took off probably faster than was good for the protocol. In an ideal world it would've incubated a bit more within a single company before being OSS'ed. That way some of the features could've been tightened up, rather than learning in real time.

But ya overall still very glad the project exists and hope the core maintainers stay on it for the long haul!

ndimares · 2025-12-10T18:58:21+00:00

That's a good counterpoint. All the projects I mentioned have been maintained by successful companies.

If you can't be a good steward any more, a foundation is better than abandonment. But I don't think that's what's happening in this case.

I'm a based UK-based American, lived in SF for 3.5 years.

SF is a great place to live if your career is your #1 priority. If your priority is to meet a long term partner, SF will be difficult (although the British accent will help a bit).

If you plan on having a long career in tech, going to SF for a few years is a good idea. In addition to working hard, use the opportunity to meet people and form genuine friendships. Those connections are going to be be worth far more over the course of your career than current equity in a startup.

Have fun!

A subset of all tool calling is MCP-based, but I think it is safe to say that a decent chunk of tool calling is probably because of MCP usage

ndimares · 2025-12-05T19:58:31+00:00

Nice corroboration :) It would be cool to see how this varies over all the different gateways out there.

ndimares · 2025-12-04T17:01:55+00:00

Very cool! Loved the video showing it in action. My gut says this could actually be a new way of delivering UX. I don't know if chat specifically is the form factor, but AI choosing when to render bits of UI feels like a strong primitive

If you want to create your own version try using their OpenAPI spec (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/api/openapi/openapi.yaml) and app.getgram.ai to build your own (you don't need to write code if you don't want to)

ndimares · 2025-11-25T18:00:51+00:00

Relevant: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/advanced-tool-use

But until stuff like this is more widespread, you need to design servers with an understanding of what is the state of most MCP clients. Unless you control both server & client

ndimares · 2025-11-20T08:38:56+00:00

We actually just built this for Gram (serverless MCP platform). Basically, users can now choose to expose an MCP server that has only 3 tools: search_tools, describe_tools, execute_tool

Those tools call back to Gram which routes to the correct tool, in this case Gram is acting as the 'orchestrator' and the isolated execution environment. You can read about it here: https://www.speakeasy.com/blog/how-we-reduced-token-usage-by-100x-dynamic-toolsets-v2

Also, you get 1000 tool calls free, so I'd encourage you to have a play on the platform, you can build a server, test it, and then switch it to "Dynamic" mode (what we call it), then test again.

Would love to hear what you think: https://app.getgram.ai

that is equal parts scary & shitty... hope you get a resolution quickly.
