  7. aci

    ACI.dev is the open source tool-calling platform that hooks up 600+ tools into any agentic IDE or custom AI agent through direct function calling or a unified MCP server. The birthplace of VibeOps.

  8. awesome-devops

    A curated list of awesome DevOps platforms, tools, practices and resources

  9. mcp-context-forge

    An AI Gateway, registry, and proxy that sits in front of any MCP, A2A, or REST/gRPC APIs, exposing a unified endpoint with centralized discovery, guardrails and management. Optimizes Agent & Tool calling, and supports plugins.

    Project mention: Every AI toolchain is inventing its own safety layer. We shipped one that works across all of them. | dev.to | 2026-05-12

    Anthropic shipped Claude Code hooks — PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Notification, and friends. They run as subprocesses, get JSON on stdin, and decide whether the tool call proceeds. OpenAI ships tool guardrails in the Agents SDK — Python (and now TS) callables you attach to a tool, with tripwire booleans that abort the run. The MCP ecosystem is sprouting gateways and proxies for the same purpose: MCPX, IBM ContextForge, Microsoft's MCP Gateway, Lasso Security's MCP Gateway — all reasonable answers to the same wire-level question.

    🪐 🔧 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Jupyter.

    Project mention: Show HN: Mljar Studio – local AI data analyst that saves analysis as notebooks | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-02

    Really cool. If somebody doesn't want to adopt a new platform, take a look at open source Jupyter MCP Server[1]. Once integrated with Claude, it can execute code on the live notebook kernel.

    I just let Claude write notebooks, run top to bottom, debug & fix errors & only ping me when everything is working.

  19. mcpm.sh

    CLI MCP package manager & registry for all platforms and all clients. Search & configure MCP servers. Advanced Router & Profile features.

  20. httpdbg

    A tool for Python developers to easily debug the HTTP(S) client and server requests in a Python program.

    Project mention: Show HN: Pytest-httpdbg – a simple way to include HTTP traces in Allure reports | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-11

    Hi HN,

    I recently updated my pytest plugin based on httpdbg to include the HTTP traces directly in the Allure reports. As with httpdbg, the idea is to have nothing more to do than to add an argument to your command line: --httpdbg-allure.

    For example:

    pytest examples/pytest_demo.py --alluredir=./allure-results --httpdbg-allure

    For each test, all HTTP requests will be recorded and saved in the Allure report under a step named httpdbg.

    You can check the README in the repository to see how it looks: https://github.com/cle-b/pytest-httpdbg?tab=readme-ov-file#c... (the compact mode is quite simple, but the full mode is identical to the httpdbg UI).

    I hope this will be helpful for some of you :) Any feedback is welcome.

    If you enjoy using httpdbg, don’t hesitate to check out the Git repository to discover new features — and give it a star to help make it more visible.

    httpdbg: https://github.com/cle-b/httpdbg -- https://pypi.org/project/httpdbg/

  21. bazel-compile-commands-extractor
