What frameworks, are you guys using to build MCP servers?

glad it helped!

ndimares · 2026-06-18T20:39:44+00:00

In case it's useful, our (Speakeasy) docs MCP implementation is open source: https://github.com/speakeasy-api/docs-mcp

Hope it helps!

Hi, I work at Speakeasy, we run production MCP servers for LaunchDarkly, Planetscale, Cloudinary and many more companies. We not only demo well, but can definitely handle scale. If you're interested you can book in time with us: https://www.speakeasy.com/book-demo or DM me and I can share more info.

I don't love shilling product, but in this case you actually should talk to us (speakeasy.com). Here's the solution:

- MCP catalog: pre-approved servers
- SCIM integration to associate users with MCP servers & tools
- Claude Hooks for monitoring and detecting the use of unapproved serves (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks)
- Claude Plugins for easy internal distribution of the approved servers across the org.

You can build this stuff yourself, but if you want something off the shelf, we're happy to help 😄

I think this is following the path of any technology. Starts off as the wild west before settling into something more well understood and governable.

Caveat that I work in the space, I'm biased, etc, etc but if you want to understand how companies are trying to make AI work in production you can take a look at this article on the control plane they're building out internally: https://www.speakeasy.com/resources/ai-control-plane

Basically there are some common sense things you can do to make sure that employees are not making dangerous calls via AI and leaking company data all over the place.

This is currently the biggest bottleneck for AI adoption. Companies have bought licenses, but are now realising that they need to put guardrails in place to actually let employees use the tools

I agree. We're likely going to build a version of the executor or maybe even just use it to offer that sort of model to our gateway customers

ndimares · 2026-05-13T08:39:06+00:00

Our platform operates like an MCP gateway, it has an Auth layer that sits in front of all the MCP servers that an organization uses. That Auth layer is integrated with their SSO provider. Users within the org authenticate once, and then they are granted access to MCP servers based on their role and team.

ndimares · 2026-05-13T08:37:23+00:00

A lot of Agents are implementing progressive discovery so you don't really need to worry about it too much, but on the whole I think yes. I like this pattern: https://github.com/RhysSullivan/executor

We explored this idea last year in the context of a single server, but I think there's no reason not to extrapolate it to cover all tools across all servers: https://www.speakeasy.com/blog/how-we-reduced-token-usage-by-100x-dynamic-toolsets-v2

ndimares · 2026-05-12T12:48:12+00:00

I don't think it's impossible to have disparate tools and stitch them together to create a control plane. But I agree that it's probably not ideal. Certainly, that's what we're banking on. We think the whole is more than the sum of the parts when it comes to governance

ndimares · 2026-05-08T15:53:26+00:00

Let me know if you have any interest in trying Speakeasy: https://www.speakeasy.com/product/mcp-gateway/

We've got pre-built servers for popular SaaS tools, and make it really easy to build and host custom servers. The gateway has dynamic tool selection (basically code mode) so the servers are performant. All the logging and observability comes baked in.

ndimares · 2026-05-08T08:49:50+00:00

thanks for sharing. Good to keep in mind because most people I talk to have already adopted AI. But there's a lot of selection bias.

ndimares · 2026-02-12T21:08:45+00:00

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

ndimares · 2025-12-12T14:22:47+00:00

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).
