$48/month for the droplet (could probably be cheaper on Hertzner) and $100/month for OpenAI plan. so ~$150/month but again this could be cheaper with a different VPS and using Terra/Luna. I also have a claude max plan for coding but like I mentioned in the article coding is still separate from the agents.

interesting.. does that bloat the context window? I imagine Hermes already struggles with context window size.. been meaning to look into that.
Couple of notes on this First, it matters how well the MCP is written; a well-written one won't be so massive Secondly, different sessions should load different MCPs. Load only what is needed Thirdly, if you're finding you need a dozen MCPs, you need to consolidate that into a single service that does the work and then presents a single, unified API (via MCP) to your agent Finally, start using models with 1M context…

Re: My Agent Setup
#45I actually went down a different path and set it up so my friend and I can use the same agent with approval-gated turns. He's more technical than I am, but I believe I'm better at marketing. We can see both of our prompts and be on the same page. There is also a mode where we can branch off with our own agents. Watching his prompts made me better at producing my own and using the agent effectively.
That's neat. You could do this with Buzz by just having open room conversations with agents.
