  Hello HN!

  Earlier this year, we shared mcp-agent(https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) [1][2], a lightweight framework for building agents with MCP. Since then we have tried to push the protocol to the limits, including hosting agents as long-running tools on MCP [3], and seen other creative approaches surface (mcp-ui, chatgpt apps sdk).

  Today, we are launching mcp-c – a cloud platform designed for hosting any kind of MCP server, including agents, ChatGPT apps, etc. We are in open beta and free to use, and would love your feedback.

  Here are some key choices we made:

• Show HN: A Deep Research MCP Agent (and pitfalls I hit along the way)

  Haha, I didn't have control on the blog website, just the content. The readme and code is the ultimate source of truth (and easier to read):https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent/blob/main/src/mcp_a...

  So the core idea is the Deep Orchestrator is pretty unopinionated on what to use for searching, as long as it is exposed over MCP. I tried with a basic fetch server that's one of the reference MCP servers (with a single tool called `fetch`), and also tried with Brave.

  I think the folks at Jina wrote some really good stuff on the actual search part: https://jina.ai/news/a-practical-guide-to-implementing-deeps... -- and how to do page/url ranking over the course of the flow. My recommendation would be to do all that in an MCP server itself. That keeps the "deep orchestrator" architecture fairly clean, and you can plug in increasingly sophisticated search techniques over time.

  So I built a universal research agent on top of mcp-agent a framework that lets you coordinate tools, APIs, memory, and LLM calls in one streamlined workflow.

• Show HN: Representing Agents as MCP Servers
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 May 2025

  This is exactly what we're working on at the moment! (If you're curious about following along progress, check out feature/distributed_tracing branch -- https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent/blob/feature/distri...)

  The nice thing about representing agents as MCP servers is we can leverage distributed tracing via OTEL to log multi-agent chains. Within the agent application, mcp-agent tracing follows the LLM semantic conventions from OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/). For any MCP server that the agent uses, we propagate the trace context along.
