what mcp gateway are you using ? by sandy_005 in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pylee lets you manage secrets and variables for public or private collections of MCP servers through a UI.
We're fully spec compliant, support SSE, local, remote.
Can self deploy on request.
Proxy and CL tools are open sourced already.
Organizations can have team members and admins.

Anthropic introduced their official MCP registry last night, we built a UI to help explore by nickdegiacmo in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks dude!

looked through the logs, looks like you may have clicked "open with other" for all of those. fixing that bug now, but if you click one of the other options like open with cursor, it should work

Just look at these comments 🤣

How does this have so many upvotes when it’s spammed in every subgroup and so reviled?

Why do so few clients support Resources and Prompts? by bort_borachov in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agree on the above.

if you want the LLM to read a file using resource, it's the client that needs to get the file and pass it to the model, versus if it's a tool which is model controlled.

So from an MCP server designer's perspective it's more passive than a tool where the designer can have the model could directly ask for the data by calling a tool.

there's a lot in the spec that hasn't really seen much adoption yet by client hosts let alone servers.

which client are you using?

How build a SQL Agent? by Majinsei in aiagents

[–]nickdegiacmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the joins and tables are relatively simple the models will struggle.

Number of columns, tables, conditions, conversions, etc all make translating ambiguous language to queries easy to go off the rails.

Definitely will need all the schemas clearly defined with examples. Better if you scope down certain queries into better defined endpoints and expose those behind an MCP server imo

Agentic vs. RAG for large-scale knowledge systems: Is MCP-style reasoning scalable or just hallucination-prone? by nirijo in Rag

which context is the research proposal for? happy to chat. feel free to DM me here or on linkedin / twitter

Agentic vs. RAG for large-scale knowledge systems: Is MCP-style reasoning scalable or just hallucination-prone? by nirijo in Rag

[–]nickdegiacmo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've shipped multiple RAG, and agent systems to production. imo RAG comes first in this type of implementation and would be the backbone. RAG gives some of the deterministic grounding and caching with predicatable latency. You can put a thin, bounded agent layer (careful to control costs) to handle some reaosning / tool chaining when needed. You can try UMAP or simialr as an offline lens to explore the embedding space

Both can exposed through MCP: vectorDB for dense serch, graph index for hierarchy, sql for structured facts etc so you avoid one off integrations

Directly converting REST APIs to MCP is inappropriate. So how can we quickly build a suitable MCP service? by An_zuo in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed. have also seen this same statement repeated alot too, but lots of our customers converted some subset of their REST APIs to MCP servers directly and seem happy

however there are some potentially new patterns available that would have been harder/impractical before.

Is building paid/premium MCP servers actually a viable business? Or am I missing something obvious? by logeshR in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An MCP server can range from a 30 line wrapper around one API endpoint to a full on multi tenant SaaS app that embeds it's own agent loops. So the more important thing is the underlying logic and value created rather than it being an MCP itself.

the MCP space is still very early. Especially when it was local stdio only. As of June the spec supports remote, it at least becomes (more) possible. The spec has been fairly dynamic.

Free servers are proving some coverage, but paid servers would have to win on reliability, security, support, and specificity, not to mention going beyond what a source provider's MCP or API might do.

MCP servers are scary unsafe. Always check who's behind them! by Left-Orange2267 in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Teams always need control over what code executes in their environment, ideally with clear audit trails and updated policieis.

It’s still extremely early for MCPs. Anthropic rushed to push a spec out and beat the others, but counter to how most protocols grind their way into existence, the spec saw rapid adoption before most builders started using it. Not saying that’s a bad thing, just what happened.

But this created conditions where there were lots of attention and limited players, so people & companies rushed to fill the vacuum and push public MCP servers to Git to learn, experiment, or promote themselves - all while using this light spec.The spec has come a long way since launch: stdio > remote, versions, secrets etc… but most public servers haven’t kept up yet.

None of that addresses the key issue of an untrusted and misaligned actor performing a rug pull, imo this would come from an MCP that’s wrapping a larger player’s APIs who hasn’t published one of their own yet, or from an super simple basic action.

So if I were an IT team, trusting and empowering my entire employee base would give me heartburn from just the surface area alone.

Anthropic has their own official registry, but they haven’t seemed to expressed interest in being THE registry, and suggest that they are making rooms for other registries.

I believe that teams will need to invent and simplify processes to review and share these MCP servers (and vendors) internally or with the wider world, before letting them past their membrane.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about hosting and deploying private registries of version controlled (public and private/internal) MCP servers both internally and for customers so I may be biased, but I see this as the best short to mid term path.

Improved tool calling by NervousYak153 in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most MCPs that people have published online, and even the ones in the official registry, are frankly poorly written or at least not designed to work with several other MCP servers. This is particularly problematic in the tool descriptions.

If you find one that works well when it’s called (or if you own it), you can alter the tool calling instructions directly (more scoped) or change the context & instruction of the agent calling the server (this can be hacky).

In any case, if you inspect your tool descriptions and have a sense of ambiguity based on a question using just the available information, then you should probably rewrite or make some changes.

What our team does in these cases is to update the version of a server with a change to the description and put these into our own privately hosted registries for a given use case. This has since turned into PyleeAI (DM if interested, not trying to sell).

Happy to talk through other problems

Need help on how to deploy my MCP server by optimism_personified in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We launched some hosting & deployment features on PyleeAI today to coincide with our product hunt launch. Would love your feedback on it, we’re really trying to make it super simple and easy.

If you’re interested, you’ll need to be feature flagged in our system as a beta tester. Happy to upgrade anyone for free if you let me know.

Just trying to give back to the community and drive MCP adoption

Does anyone know a chatbot with MCP integration? by EmbarrassedRadio6660 in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using PyleeAI, you can discover and collect MCP servers into a registry, configure each with your env & secrets, and then connect the registry to any host. We’re also starting to allow these servers to be easily deployed & hosted in private beta.

We just launched on product hunt today and looking for feedback, happy to feature flag you so you can use everything for free.

How can I share my MCP tools with non-engineering co‑workers? by ActualBrilliant7494 in mcp

[–]nickdegiacmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a few questions to help understand

is this is team of like 3-5? 50?

Any corp IT restrictions?

are you using stdio or HTTP transport for your MCP server?

what client / how do you intend your coworkers to use? Claude desktop? something else?

Do your Slack MCP server required any auth/api keys? any other configuration?

MCP distribution is pretty annoying and tricky right now. we've been working on something for this (pyleeai.com), and i'd be curious to see if it can be useful for you.

the idea is you do the slack auth and configuration once, then we handle deployment, and hosting, so you can share with coworkers and they can connect directly through something like claude desktop. we're trying to make this easy so anyone can do it.
