I built this tool while working on MCP servers locally as I wanted to work on the UI as well as back-end server and was continuously iterating on the same. Since it needs a top level ./well-known url, I either had to run a docker with redirects but that meant building the applications again and again which took time or adding a redirect and making UI application a server redirecting the...

Why not use LibreOffice which is already open source? I'm just trying to understand what we are solving here and why do we need a 1:1 of some other tool while existing tools which are much refined already exist?

Are you saying this based on the fact that no-one will read or understand the code manually? That might be the case but on some areas, having a product understanding and knowing what to build, why to build matters a lot and sometimes the LLMs will write code that is not correct, doesn't make sense and they will continue down that path without explaining it.

I still believe that other languages which are understood by developers are and will be required and LLMs are trained on the same dataset so it can write the code.

This is really good, the only issue I have is having this much RAM. I have machine with 16GB RAM and I was hoping that I can run something good with 50T/s in that. Is there a possibility of this?

I always wondered when I moved from NodeJS to Golang on why do I need to import everything from github. It would have been simpler to have a central registery to host your packages and import from there I think with secrets to read the private ones

I continue to work on https://github.com/PulkitBanta/connectio. A local proxy manager to connect servers and expose a single url outside.

I initially created this to work with the MCP servers as I needed OAuth to work locally and go through UI -> backend -> MCP client.

I add some features to this every now and then. Would like to have some other users for same :)

I'm working on a local proxy application locally. I was building a mcp application in my organization and had to make some code changes to match what we wanted on the AWS load balancer. So I thought why not have an application that runs a server, takes some rules and allows users to add applications.

That way, I can expose the server's address on network and have everything work from there. It is still a WIP but I have couple of plans to make it better.
