New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: GuMCP – Open-source MCP servers, hosted for free

Show HN: GuMCP – Open-source MCP servers, hosted for free

Hello! We open sourced all our current MCP servers to platforms like Slack, Google sheets, Linear, Perplexity and will be contributing a few more integrations every day to the project. problems we're hoping to solve: - Many people are creating MCP servers for the same apps. They're scattered across different repos but flavors of the same thing. We're making one standardized mono project for all MCP servers. - Startups are charging for hosting MCP servers. This is blocking tons of people from being able to play around with MCP casually. We're hosting them for free. - Non-technical people should be able to use MCP without needing to learn how to clone a repo and set up a venv. We're trying to enable a one click integration if people want to use the free hosted service. The plan is to keep contributing until we have an MCP server for basically every useful app anyone could want.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Hexi, modern header-only network binary serialisation for C++ hackers

Show HN: Hexi, modern header-only network binary serialisation for C++ hackers

Over the last few years, I've needed an easy way to quickly serialise and deserialise various network protocols safely and efficiently. Most of the libraries that existed at the time were either quite heavy, had less than stellar performance, or were an abstraction level above what I was looking for. I decided to put together my own class to do the job, starting with an easy, low-overhead way to move bytes in and out of arbitrary buffers. Along the way, it picked up useful bits and pieces, such as buffer structures and allocators that made the byte shuffling faster, often being able to do it with zero allocations and zero copies. Safety features came along to make sure that malicious packet data or mistakes in the code wouldn't result in segfaults or vulnerabilities. It's become useful enough to me that I've packaged it up in its own standalone library on the chance that it might be useful to others. It has zero dependencies other than the standard library and has been designed for quick integration into any project within minutes, or seconds with a copy paste of the amalgamated header. It can be used in production code but it's also ideal for for those that want to quickly hack away at binary data with minimal fuss.
