Dev automation stories and AI news.
I am planning to open my MCP tools to SaaS subscribers via npm packages. API key auth, plan-based tool access, and the initial structure are in place. Still early stage -- no public launch yet.
Weather, nearby places, vehicle management, expense tracking, and news -- I added five modules and turned a dev-only AI assistant into a daily-life assistant. Built on MCP with Claude.
Every morning at 9 AM, revenue, weather, calendar, and vehicle status arrive across four Telegram channels automatically. I built a node-cron scheduler and anomaly detection system on a Mac mini.
I connected a Telegram bot to Claude MCP. One DM to check revenue, feedback, and calendar. Debugging the 409 Conflict, running 24/7 with tmux, and auto-restart with a Stop hook.
I connected my two SaaS products to Claude MCP. No more dashboards — just ask in plain English and the data comes back. Dashboard 4-click workflow vs one-line natural language query.
