There's a nice feature in the new version that lets you copy tool _arguments_ in to the HTTP Headers for custom routing etc.

fast-agent is very good at this (disclosure: author) you can specify --url, --npx and include --auth $TOKEN on the command line. you can also interactively connect with /connect, a…

Gotcha - yeah, it removes the tool calling step so their content is always in context (noting they took action to try and reduce the size of that). The framing seems a little simpl…

I think the paper is saying specifically that it's redundant to include information about your coding repository when that information is otherwise available to the agent in higher…

fast-agent lets you do this as well (and has a skill in its default skills repo to help with automation/running in container/hf job).

Yes -- skills live in a special gap between "should have been a deterministic program" and "model already had the ability to figure this out". My personal experience leaves me in a…

An excellent piece of writing. One thing I do find is that subagents are helpful for performance -- offloading tasks to smaller models (gpt-oss specifically for me) gets data to th…

A lot of those books are more about persuasion than motivation - they can look similar from a distance.

fast-agent has ACP support and works well with ollama. Once installed you can just use `toad acp "fast-agent-acp --model generic. "`.

I quite like the look of this one - seems to fit somewhere between the rigid structure of MCP Elicitations and the freeform nature of MCP-UI/Skybridge.

Structured Output in this case refers to the output from the MCP Server Tool Call, not the LLM itself.

Yes. VSCode 1.101.0 does, as well as fast-agent. Earlier I posted about mcp-webcam (you can find it) which gives you a no-install way to try out Sampling if you like.

I've updated mcp-webcam project to support Streamable HTTP, added a multi-user mode and made Sampling requests easier to make. Both VSCode v1.101.0 and fast-agent have sampling sup…

The list here https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients has a number of Host applications, frameworks etc.

Really looking forward to integrating with these models. The next version of Model Context Protocol will have native audio support ( https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/specifi…

I've spent more on Claude Code than I'm willing to admit, and I'd estimate about 50% of the spend is "written off". With CC it can be tough to judge when to stop on a particular pa…

Most LLMs including Claude struggle using the @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem server - it's way too complex (and tools like Goose wrap ripgrep in an MCP to handle it). A si…

The Messages API contains a special section for placing Tool information, which is added to the Context Window - and it's this information that the Model then uses to decide whethe…

Hello, HN. I've created fast-agent to make building my own products easier - and remove the friction between defining Prompts, MCP Servers and their composition. It uses a simple, …

just tested this. in "standard" mode you get 7, switch to "scientific" you get 9.

Gerry Weinberg wrote beautifully about these "lullaby words". https://www.humansystemsinaction.com/lullaby-language/ > “Precisely. It’s what I call a ‘Lullaby Word.’ Like ‘should,’…
