#12I'm particularly interested in typescript MCP servers, as they integrate well with the web infra ecosystem I work with. Do you foresee a typescript collection of guMCP servers as well?

#13Anyone else hosting MCP servers in a generally available way? Seems like that's the end goal given the network transports (especially the one in new spec revision).
Seems like everything I find requires running locally or hosting your own instance.

#14If you want to edit files on your local filesystem, do you have to have a MCP server running locally?
The simplest way is to have a command that the MCP server can hit to interface with the filesystem. This is the simplest way I know of to get started with it. https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user
Yeah, I guess my question was: that assumes the MCP server is running on the same machine as your files? Otherwise, if it's a remote MCP server then you would have to be developing on that remote machine? That may be an obvious "yes" so I just wonder why there are so many posts around hosting MCP servers via Cloudfare or what have you if they can't even edit your files on your machine.

actually made me laugh. will be using this in the future

Definitely at some point in the near future! started with python for now just because we had to pick a lane but we'll be porting them all over one day

if you go to gumloop.com/mcp all these servers are hosted for you with auth handled via your free gumloop account.

I'm building a registry of typescript servers here: https://github.com/wegotdocs/open-mcp

If you want to try out mcp (model context protocol) with little to no setup hosted for you:
I built https://skeet.build/mcp where anyone can try out mcp for cursor and dev tools.
We did this because of a painpoint I experienced as an engineer having to deal with crummy mcp setup, lack of support you have no idea how hard it is to set up SSE, deal with API keys and scope issues, and then to find things like the tool that you want isn’t even coded yet.
And so one of the areas we found it to be useful was to do the soft communications with tools like Jira linear slack - updating stakeholders and all that friction that engineers hate doing. Some other areas people use a lot of tools with sequential thinking
Mostly for workflows that I like:
* start a PR with a summary of what I just did * slack or comment to linear/Jira with a summary of what I pushed * pull this issue from sentry and fix it * Find a bug a create a linear issue to fix it * pull this linear issue and do a first pass * pull in this Notion doc with a PRD then create an API reference for it based on this code * Postgres or MySQL schemas for rapid model development
Everyone seems to go for the hype but ease of use, practical pragmatic developer workflows, and high quality polished mcp servers are what we’re focused on
Lmk what you think!

Currently working on a desktop app so everything runs on a native Mac app!
