AT Protocol MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol server that provides LLMs with direct access to the AT Protocol ecosystem, enabling seamless interaction with Bluesky and other AT Protocol-based social networks.

Live Demo

The convergence of artificial intelligence and next-generation social protocols represents a transformative opportunity in distributed systems architecture. Today, I’m introducing the AT Protocol MCP Server—a comprehensive Model Context Protocol implementation that enables LLMs to interact directly with the AT Protocol ecosystem, including Bluesky and other decentralized social networks built on this innovative protocol.

This project addresses a critical infrastructure gap: providing AI systems with standardized, secure access to the emerging landscape of decentralized social networks that prioritize user sovereignty, data portability, and algorithmic choice. Unlike traditional social platforms, AT Protocol’s architecture enables fundamentally different interaction patterns that align naturally with AI-powered analysis and automation.

The intersection of artificial intelligence and systems security has reached a critical inflection point. As AI agents become increasingly capable of executing external tools and accessing system resources, the traditional security models that govern software execution are proving inadequate. Microsoft’s Wassette emerges as a groundbreaking solution that leverages WebAssembly’s sandboxing capabilities to create a secure, scalable runtime for AI tool execution through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Wassette represents a paradigm shift from the current landscape of MCP server deployment, where tools typically run with unrestricted system access, to a capability-based security model that provides fine-grained control over resource access. This architectural evolution addresses fundamental security concerns while maintaining the flexibility and extensibility that make MCP valuable for AI system integration.

ActivityPub MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol server that enables LLMs to explore and interact with the Fediverse through standardized ActivityPub integration.

Live Demo

The intersection of artificial intelligence and decentralized social networks represents a fascinating frontier in modern software development. Today, I’m excited to introduce the ActivityPub MCP Server—a comprehensive Model Context Protocol implementation that enables LLMs like Claude to explore and interact with the Fediverse through standardized ActivityPub integration.

This project addresses a critical gap in AI tooling: the ability to discover, analyze, and interact with the rich ecosystem of decentralized social networks that comprise the Fediverse, including Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, and countless other ActivityPub-compatible platforms.

OpenZIM MCP Server

Offline knowledge base access for AI models. A secure, high-performance MCP server that enables AI models to access and search ZIM format knowledge bases offline.

Live Demo

The dependency on persistent internet connectivity represents a fundamental architectural limitation in contemporary AI systems, creating single points of failure that compromise system reliability in distributed or resource-constrained environments. This realization led to the development of offline knowledge access patterns that enable AI assistants to maintain functionality across diverse operational contexts, from edge computing scenarios to air-gapped security environments.

Gopher MCP Server

A modern Model Context Protocol server for Gopher and Gemini protocols, enabling AI assistants to browse these classic internet protocols safely and efficiently.

Live Demo

The integration of legacy protocols with modern AI infrastructure reveals fundamental insights about system design philosophy and the evolution of network architectures. The gopher-mcp implementation demonstrates how protocols designed with minimalist principles can provide superior performance characteristics and operational simplicity compared to their contemporary counterparts—lessons that remain highly relevant for modern distributed systems engineering.

Having architected distributed systems across enterprise environments for over a decade, the Model Context Protocol represents a paradigm shift that addresses fundamental challenges in AI tooling infrastructure. Through the development of production-grade MCP servers including gopher-mcp and openzim-mcp, I’ve identified architectural patterns and implementation strategies that demonstrate MCP’s potential to revolutionize how AI systems interact with external resources.
