you almost never want these tools in any given session, and creating any of them can be done simply with Claude. looking at the PRs, it seems like that is exactly what's happening. i guess this is my generic problem with MCP releases, who are they for and why?
Thank you! The news is an RSS reader/aggregator, so picking select sources to pull from. I opted not to use anything else as this works quite well and we don't need more news than we have. Plus we have Brave for web search. The sources are like the BBC, the guardian, techcrunch, hackernews, etc.
:D you know last time I built software go-micro was 4 years slogging it out on my own. Then raised funding and had 4-5 engineers working on it. Now you can honestly go very far with Claude, copilot, codex, etc. Still the person leading needs to understand what they're doing.
Thanks. We can do. The idea was that it as more like WeChat or Telegram mini apps. So they are things you'd build in the system that have access to the system. I'd be curious to know your use case or what you want out of it.
You're right about that and I totally hate it as well. I had originally written it myself and then it got revamped along the way as I tried to change the positioning of the system from a personal home server to tools for agents.
Genuine question rather than a criticism: what do the tools actually execute in?
I spent last week asking people running local agents what their generated code runs inside, and the answer was consistently "nothing" - same filesystem, same network, same credentials as the agent itself. One person reviews everything with a second model and then reads it himself, which is the most careful answer I got and still isn't a boundary.
That's fine while a tool is reading a file. It stops being fine the moment the tool is "run this". Does Mu draw a line there, or is it left to the host?
By the way, it seems that your comments are getting automatically "killed" by the HN system. I don't see a clear problem with them, but I can see why people might think they've been AI generated, which is not acceptable here (this is somewhat buried in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html , which you should familiarize yourself with).

Here's the last one. https://github.com/micro/go-micro
Communicating is hard but that’s the point, takes a lot of effort to close the gap between a new and skeptical user and your vision.
Devs will not be able to bypass the PTSD of reading Claude prose.
Good observation thank you.
