Ask HN: What are you building that's not AI related?
Very cool! Have you seen https://encore.dev/ ? Haven't used it personally but I saw it on HN last year and have been meaning to try it out.
Seems like your approach is a bit more "batteries-included" but I'd curious for your thoughts on the differences.

The End of Heroku: What It Means for Your Apps
If you want to replicate Heroku's git push workflow while owning your infrastructure, Encore Cloud provisions managed resources in your own AWS or GCP account (powered by Encore, an open-source framework with 11k+ GitHub stars). You declare infrastructure as type-safe objects in your TypeScript or Go code, and Encore provisions the corresponding managed services. Everything else is standard TypeScript or Go.

Show HN: Leap – Full-stack AI developer agent that deploys to AWS
Leap doesn't currently use an MCP, but it we've build the same sort of logic for reading information from the Encore app's runtime into the Leap application itself. We found it was more controllable and token efficient.
Encore does have an MCP server now though, for local dev: https://github.com/encoredev/encore/releases/tag/v1.47.0
