CATT is an open-source tool that lets developers run scripted or model-driven AI agents against MCP servers, apps, websites, or HTTP APIs to see how an assistant interacts with their service. Version 0.2.1 supports two 'surrogate' emulation targets, Muse and Instinct, sharing a common testing contract covering routing, memory, payments, browser/HTTP tasks, and scheduling. The project is MIT-licensed and explicitly states it is not affiliated with Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any hosted assistant.

Figma announced 20 new model context protocol (MCP) partners at its first Config conference in India, including Amp, ClickUp, Dia, Junie by JetBrains, Linear, Meta Muse, Mistral, Notion, OpenCode, and Sarvam Agents. The expansion comes even as co-founder Dylan Field has publicly questioned MCP's design, previously criticizing Anthropic for not exposing its own resources via the standard, and he has said Figma plans to support the open-source tool Pi.

A developer published 'whatsapp-mcp,' an open-source project that lets AI assistants like Claude search and read a user's WhatsApp messages. Users link their phone like WhatsApp Web, and the server stores message data in a SQLite database inside a Cloudflare Durable Object under their own account. The tool can read, search and recall contact names but cannot send messages, and requires a Cloudflare Workers Paid plan to run.

Contexte Tech's Tony argues that the Model Context Protocol (MCP), launched by Anthropic in November 2024, is increasingly used by AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to fetch live answers directly from publishers' own servers rather than relying on frozen training data. The protocol was transferred in December 2025 to the Agentic AI Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, and has progressed through several dated versions, with a public registry now listing available servers.

Stoke Money is a new personal finance app that syncs bank accounts via Plaid and lets users manually add accounts it can't reach. It builds a forward-looking cash flow forecast that accounts for credit card purchases on the day they're made and projects the actual cash payment on each card's due date. A paid Pro tier adds an MCP connection so external AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT can read and, with permission, act on a user's financial data.

Researchers scanned 217 million HTTP response headers from a 10% sample of Common Crawl's September 2026 crawl and found 7,959 sites including headers addressed to AI agents. Most, 7,271 sites, were pointers directing agents to resources like llms.txt files or MCP servers, while 30 sites contained attempted prompt injections and 139 sites flagged whether they had identified the visitor as a bot.

A new email service called Clova.Email lets users claim an address prefix of five or more characters, after which only the first sender to email that address is ever accepted again. The app also offers an MCP integration so AI assistants like Claude or Cursor can be granted limited permissions to manage inbox tasks such as generating addresses or retrieving codes and receipts. Sign-in options include Google, passkeys, or username and password, with Google logins sharing only email, name and photo.

Graphicle is a new open-source Rust program that indexes a code repository into a graph and stores project docs, decisions and past agent session history, serving cited file-and-line excerpts to coding agents. It runs locally with no API key, account or telemetry, and integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other MCP clients. The tool is described as a Rust port of an earlier project called Graphify, installable via Homebrew or a shell script, with native Windows support still pending.

A new beta plugin called Konnect lets AI assistants like Claude design schematics and PCBs in KiCad 10 through the Model Context Protocol, using a single Rust binary with 228 tools covering layout, routing, design-rule checks and manufacturing exports. Alongside it, a companion web-research MCP server called Nimrod offers quality-scored search and part/datasheet lookups to feed live data into the design process.

A Show HN project called PDF TO MP3 lets users convert PDF documents into audiobooks by connecting their Codex or Claude account via an MCP server. Document processing is covered by the user's existing AI subscription, while the actual text-to-speech generation is billed separately through an OpenAI or Google Gemini API key. Users authenticate the MCP server, add their speech API key, then attach a PDF in their chat client and request an audiobook conversion.

Composo released DishwasherBench, a browser-based benchmark called Spotless that simulates loading a Bosch SMV4HAX40G dishwasher with rigid-body physics. Both humans and language models (via MCP) can play the game, earning points for items that come out clean after a simulated Eco 50 wash cycle. The current version, 0.1.0, reliably scores whether cups, glasses and pots are placed correctly, but does not yet accurately judge whether plates and cutlery are stacked to wash clean.

SolidCraft is an open-source parametric 3D CAD application written entirely in Rust, offering sketching, constraints, and a feature timeline so models rebuild automatically when dimensions change. It runs on desktop or in-browser and includes a built-in MCP server that lets AI agents perform modeling operations directly. The project reports 75 of 76 public reference parts matching analytic or FreeCAD-computed geometry checks, with one known bug tracked.
