thecopy··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Building an MCP Gateway: https://www.gatana.ai/

Idea came from one of my clients, where they wanted to use AI agents throughout the organization but at that moment there was no centralized governance or security concepts. This pulls everything at one place and tries to solve the security concept with per-user credentials, which can be provided out-of-band through the MCP protocol (generated a one-time link end-user can use to sign in to the underlying MCP server with OAuth or provide API key)

thecopy··on Why are so many pedestrians killed by cars in the US?
At its core it comes from the infrastructure paying zero respect to non-drivers.
thecopy··on Being blocked from contributing to lodash
Agreed. It seems there was no initial communication, consideration of the existing maintainers opinions or evaluation of current deployment processes.

OP simply pushed his personal opinion on how lodash (extremely popular library) should be deployed. Proceeds to get confused and upset when this is rejected.

I suggest to OP to work on his social skills.

thecopy··on Building a better online editor for TypeScript
I worked on adding a web-vscode editor in my project (MCP gateway https://mcp-boss.com). Initially i also spun up a container to provide terminal access, package installation etc. It turned out to be very resource intensive, and the cold-start-up UX sucked. This approach also comes with scaling challenges.

Leaning on CloudFlare Containers seems like a good balance though. But im wondering what the limits are, some packages are very large and require more than just Javascript (e.g node gyp).

(Personally I ended up hosting a web-only VS code served as static files. Luckily i dont need to support Deno syntax so the built-in Typescript language server worked fine.)

No, this is conflating "GDPR consent" and the ePrivacy Directive. According to ePD the banner must always be shown if the company providing the service is based in the EU

thecopy··on MCP Gateway and Registry
Totally, its also the realisation have gotten too. Im working now to expand the offering to be able to run agents/sub-agents with Agent2Agent which all get access to the MCP:s.

Although i believe too for development teams it might be valuable, all devs get automatically access to all services with 1-click install etc etc. But question is how unique/powerful is it.

Hey, im building https://mcp-boss.com (MCP Gateway SaaS) and im looking for ways to improve the offering, and im interested in what you mean with "inject specific behavior on a per MCP basis"?

In a first-past-the-post electoral system (UK, USA), it always degenerates into 2 parties, which over time becomes entrenched and diverge from popular opinion.

A proportionally representative system in IMO better from this perspective.

>To go back to Chevron, you have to look beyond the US and understand that for anyone else anywhere else in the world, the idea of the courts deferring in their interpretation of the law to executive agencies is just ridiculous

My interpretation is difficult and complex domain specific regulation were handled by agency experts, and not lawyers. It is now up to congress to detail very specifically this potentially difficult regulation and to quickly adjust when research changes.

Is my interpretation incorrect? Since to me this current approach sounds terrible, inflexibly and set-up to fail.

>elements will remain in the republican party but not intact

But everyone in a position in power and/or leadership is presumably MAGA now? Who will they promote within the party?

thecopy··on Investors spy the dawn of a tectonic shift away from US markets
>there is no reason to believe that

1. GOP has been MAGA for 10 years.

2. The electorate elected him again, even after being a felon, even after 6th Jan.

What is the reason to assume it _will_ change?

thecopy··on Investors spy the dawn of a tectonic shift away from US markets
Trump will go away at some point (hopefully he does not seek a 3rd term). However, i am concerned about the fact that the GOP has been mired in the MAGA culture for a decade now, and what that does to the people seeking membership and the people being promoted to leadership. When Trump leaves, the people which have been promoted and been successful in GOP under him still stays. For what virtues are you being promoted for in the GOP? The entire structure is corrupted.

>Why should European states assume the US has an obligation to always support Europe?

Well, it agreed to:

>In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons to Russia and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

I don't necessarily disgree with the central thesis of your comment and your perspectices, but i think there is a more fruitful balance to be had than what i see as completee capitulation to Russia and the abandonment of Europe (after almost a century of collaboration and investment).

At some point one need to ask oneself: what am i defending?

thecopy··on Managers given 200 characters to justify not firing nuclear regulators
>Do you seriously think we can win the inevitable war with China?

I believe showing Russia, China, and the world, that USA stands behinds it commitments and allies, defends the rule based world order and is true leader of the democratic society would deter leaders such as Putin and Xi from trying anything.

NATO is (imo) close to collapsing. All it would take is a minor just-under-war incursion, e.g. in northern Finland by Russia. Would USA (Trump) defend Finland in this scenario? If not, NATO is dead and the next 100 years belong to China and Russia.
