Show HN: An automation tool built upon MCPs

On HN

I was thinking about how Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are a standard interface to third party tools, and how it must have been annoying to integrate before for companies like Zapier. I wondered if I could make a tool that does the same thing but for free and locally. After making a prototype it felt like something that could be built out and released so I'm now on that journey!

It's still very early stages, I'm wanting to take it on a journey similar to Postman flows (which is awesome). It's my first desktop app using Tauri, a lighter-weight alternative to Electron. It's also my first time using Rust, so that's been really fun!

The goal here is to provide a way to take the tool calling chains done by LLMs and solidify them into programmatic tasks - so you don't waste tokens every time getting an LLM to do it.

Interesting! Looking forward to what comes next.
