No idea! It was just released in early preview a week ago

Show HN: Webmcp-react – React hooks that turn your website into an MCP server

kashishhora — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:55:23 +0000

Chrome recently shipped navigator.modelContext in Early Preview. It's a browser API that lets any website expose typed, callable tools to AI agents.

I built webmcp-react because we wanted a simple way to add tools to our React app and figured others could benefit from it as well. You wrap your app in , call useMcpTool with a Zod schema, and that's it. Handles StrictMode, SSR, dynamic mount/unmount, and all of the React lifecycle.

It also comes with a Chrome extension in the repo that acts as a bridge for MCP clients (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), since they can't access navigator.modelContext directly. Once Chrome ships native bridging, will depracate the extension.

I expect the spec may evolve, but contributions, feedback, and issues welcome!

Show HN: MCPcat – A free open-source library for MCP server monitoring

kashishhora — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:54:07 +0000

Hey everyone!

We've been working with several MCP server maintainers and we noticed some difficulties getting drop-in logging and identity attribution working out of the box with existing vendors. A couple of challenges we hoped to solve were: - Baseline piping of tool calls to traditional vendors - How to tie tool calls to a “user session” - Understanding the context behind tool calls made by agents

So we built something. :) The MCPcat library is completely free to use, MIT licensed, and provides a one-line solution for adding logging and observability to any vendor that supports OpenTelemetry. We added custom support for Datadog and Sentry because we personally use those vendors, but we’re happy to add more if there’s interest.

Here’s how it works:

  mcpcat.track(serverObject, {...options…})

This initializes a series of listeners that: 1. Categorize events within the same working session 2. Publish those events directly to your third-party data provider

Optionally, you can redact sensitive data. The data never touches our servers (unless you opt in to additional contextual analysis, which I mention below).

Some teams might also want a better understanding of “what use cases are people finding with my MCP server.” For that, we provide a separate dashboard that visualizes the user journey in more detail (free for a high baseline of monthly usage and always free for open source projects).

We have two SDKs so far: Python SDK: <https://github.com/MCPCat/mcpcat-python-sdk> TypeScript SDK: <https://github.com/MCPCat/mcpcat-typescript-sdk>

Other SDKs are on the way!
