🚀 We are on the Product Hunt today! Now you can connect any API to any AI agent with MCP Bridge. Help us climb to the top: ⬆️ https://lnkd.in/dfpyHwzT

My friends from AppFactor launched MCP Bridge on Product Hunt today! 🚀 MCP is the new standard for connecting AI agents to tools and data. Setting it up usually means writing a custom MCP server per API. Their MCP Bridge skips all that - just point it at any REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or gRPC API and you get agent-ready tools. Now you connect any API to any AI agent. ⬆️ Support them with an upvote here: https://lnkd.in/da6q9hgE

Today's drop is Code Mode feature on MCP Bridge. The problem we kept seeing: tool definitions eat the context window. ~250 tokens per definition, and a real enterprise API has 100+ operations. Before the agent has done anything, the prompt is 50,000 tokens of schema. 🤯 What we shipped, instead of loading every tool definition, the agent gets 3 meta-tools: 1. search_tools: find the right tool by describing what you need 2. get_tool_schema: pull a specific tool's schema on demand 3. execute_code: run multi-step tool calls in a sandboxed JS runtime Net result on real enterprise API surfaces: ~98% context window reduction. The model only sees the tools it picks, only when it needs them. As a bonus, loops and conditionals live in execute_code, 800 customer lookups doesn't mean 800 inference round trips. Cloudflare and Anthropic have both written about Code Mode. What's new: it's built into the platform that already translates REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC into MCP. You get Code Mode without giving up multi-protocol coverage. Full writeup with benchmarks & early access under comments. Launching MCP Bridge on Product Hunt this Thursday 🚀

Berlin. May 20-21. DTM26. 3,000 people. 500 deep tech investors. And me, probably asking too many questions about your stack choices over bad (hopefully not) conference coffee. If you're building something hard in hardware, AI infra, quantum, techbio, anything that takes more than a pitch deck, come find me. I'm always more interested in the problem you're obsessed with than the slide you're polishing. Let's talk. DMs open for meetings at the conf. See you at Deep Tech Momentum 🇩🇪
