we havent done postgres as endppoint. we were worried abt performance but may be we will consider. this also avoid the problem of running curl in shell (no shell access is given) and validations are done before its being sent - like call parameters, check for injections with standard libraries etc., so we dont have to worry abt the quality of existing MCP servers.

In our startup, we build harness that allows people to call endpoints like the ones that MCP supports. we looked it as 2 class of problems. One is sources like databases where the protocol is not http/json/rpc. Here we support MCP based calling. then there are ones where the protocol is just http/json/rpc - say calling shopify or linear or others. Now the harness itself comes with a generic http execution engine. So if you know the endpoint, auth and operation - the harness converts this into a yaml structure for internal purpose and directly calls the endpoint. all info that LLM needs like how the endpoints are, what can be passed and how to check response etc., is all english defined and stored in yaml. Now the harness uses this info to expose these to LLM and when LLM wants to makes a tool call that needs to call the http endpoint the http engine in the harness executes it on behalf of it and gives response back to LLM. this way every server dont have to expose and maintain an MCP server to expose them to LLM. allow us to connect to any endpoint and teams dont have to maintain and scale one more info.

Not sure whats the downside of this approach is but its serving us well so far.

might not be a popular opinion, but different perspective. during pandemic, demand was high and employees where asking anywhere from 60% to 100% hikes to do the same job. no one complained. people were ready to jump every 6 months in search for more pay without thinking career, is the position impacting the company or anything of that sorts. founders (esp smaller ones) had tough time meeting insane demands. people were asking for joining bonus (an insane concept in my view) to the tune of 50% of annual salary.

Now the tables have turned. so if former is accepted then later also has to be accepted without complaints. just how things work in this new age.

if free flow of data across countries helps in privacy then HIPAA should not have rule that healthcare data of US citizens need not be stored only in US. Will USGOV relax that norm ? the Indian govt rules are about storing financial data within the country and not gmail data.

i am using HP pavilion. its quad core, comes with 8gb expandable to 16GB, no ssd (which is pain), full HD display matte (which is something i like compared to glossy), backlit keyboard and windows10. this is my replacement for my macbook pro 2011. so far pretty good to me. i havent tried linux. https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Pavilion-15-Power-i7-7700HQ...

Saw the pricing for bangalore, India. Goodness me. its $290 for 2 persons. this is for meet and assist without fast immigration. just to give perspective, its about $20 for you to get to city from airport for 2 persons (40kms trip). I can say your Bangalore price is really very high. $100 in india can get you done a lot of things.

can you provide some insight on how its built internally, i am kind of new to NLP.

10% for Yahoo, given the current suite of products is low. for long time yahoo hasn't streamlined their product offerings. Just streamlining them alone will help them become more leaner. as far as CEO is concerned, yes, she is very much covered.

completely agree and this will make a good start for lot of people.
