I don't think device fingerprinting is the right approach here. Client-side detection can always be sidestepped, and you need to intermediate the actual inference to get enough sig…

I was going to cover this in a follow-up article, but yeah, there are network of token brokers who buy unused credits from startups and then resell them.

Yeah, I should probably clean this up. The sentence is a bit hard to understand. What I was trying to show was the steep discounts offered by resellers.

I actually came across Plandex the other day. I haven't had the chance to play around with it yet, but it looked really cool. But agree that even basic prompts can be a struggle. Y…

Agree on the unpredictability of results issue. Tool call selection is still sort of a black box. How do you know what variations of a prompt trigger a given tool to be called or h…

Like many others, I’ve been hacking on MCP servers lately. The issue I ran into was that running multiple MCP servers behind a unified backend was hard. I needed a way to combine a…

This is pretty cool. You should also attempt to scan resources if possible. Similar to the tool injection attack Invariant Labs discovered, I achieved the same result via resource …

Yeah, you aren't far off with SQL injection comparison. That being said it's not really a fault of the MCP spec, more so with current client implementations of it.

One of the biggest issues I see, briefly discussed here, is how one MCP server tool's output can affect other tools later in the same message thread. To prevent this, there really …

Yeah, I plan on improving the formatting and adding a few more examples. There were even still some typos in the piece. To be honest, I didn't plan on sharing it yet; I just figure…

Yeah, at its core it's just a proxy, so there are a lot of other tools out there that would do the job. It does have a nice UI and I try to support projects like it when I can. I'l…

I was in the same boat in regards to trying to find the actual JSON that was going over the wire. I ended up using Charles to capture all the network requests. I haven't finished t…

super cool. Debugging locally across multiple microservices can be a huge pain. A small feature request/idea - packaging this as a helm chart to make local development on something…

Congrats on the 1.0 Release, big milestone. I'm personally really excited about all of the recent tooling for postgres aggregates. Definitely a pain point for a lot of developers a…

Congrats on the launch! For those who have not experimented with columnar based databases, I would highly recommend toying around with them. The performance improvements can be sub…
