    We build a gateway (MintMCP) and I’d love to connect and exchange notes. We’re excited about XAA, it will simplify many flows

    MCP tools. We're doing some MCP bundling and giving it here, pretty cool stuff.

    This is powerful. Combined with MCPs, you can pretty much automate a ton of work.

    Exactly. and even if so, how are you going to safe guard tool access? Imagine your favorite email provider has a CLI for reading and sending email - you're cool with the agent read…

    I think if you want background agents with sandboxes and well scoped permissions, you want MCP to be your data protocol and security layer. If you’re vibing and doing the open claw…

    MCP gateway: https://mintmcp.com There's an agent monitor which intercepts requests either using a LLM proxy or hooks, that gives you full telemetry into the agents + MCPs used. An…

    I've been hoping that Claude Code on the Web also works with MCPs; so I can start getting it to do things beyond just coding. It's pretty awesome to use Git as a source of memory/t…
