This CLI wraps any STD/IO local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in a thin docker container for improved monitoring and security.
We built it to help clarify our thinking over what our MCP strategy should and give the best advice to our customers on theirs.

1. We're built for self-hosting / single-tenant mode and focus on customers with this need. Our data plane runs in a Cloudflare worker on our customer's Cloudflare account, so we never get access to the data.
2. Airbyte is mainly focused on internal ETL data movement. Nango also syncs data into their app DB while we enable you to plug in your DB to collocate it with your app data for easier joins.
3. We'd like to think that OpenInt sits at a higher level than a regular iPaaS as we replace the glue code you'd have to write to bring in traditional unified APIs. Imagine being able to plug in and use both a Plaid and a Yodlee with a unified UI/API. Let them focus on what they do best. Orchestrate aggregators so genuinely become the last integration you'll ever need. More: https://openint.dev/launch-week/introducing-orchestrate-and-...

I wanted to share a little story on how we ended up working on OpenInt. As mentioned, we started at YC as Map3, building unified APIs for Crypto. This was right as FTX blew up, so we couldn't find enough traction! We then pivoted into creating a consumer health app called Ally. After 9 months on it and realizing we weren't solving a meaningful enough problem, we tacked back into open-source dev tools. Initially, we launched Evefan (same area) in September, but after finding our first couple of customers, we stumbled into another OSS project called OpenInt. We acquired it and rebranded it and have decided to build on it :) We're now helping our first customers ship integrations to their end users and have been thrilled by the reception so far!
I'll be lurking through the day! I would love any pointers on how to make it easier for folks to launch and maintain integrations.
> They will always be inferior to the dollar purely on the virtue that they rely on the value of $USD to exist
As long as you can access / cash out from dollars, yes. Most people don't have this privilege or access to first class financial services.
Usage: I agree that usage is currently being driven primarily by enthusiasts and speculators, but in the last 3 years its changing fast... Here are some links. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33723425
All good points and I'm super curious to see how it plays out :-) For what it's worth, I hope you're right and non crypto FinServs can improve as a result of alpha leakage.
Here's a great study on remittances:

Here's a summary of one on stablecoins:
I'm not one to call crypto protocols immutable, so I'm sort of with you. That's why I added 'practically' and 'easily' to that sentence.
Not even China was able to ban a decentralised chain. So I'm cautiously optimistic...
-- Edit --
Hadn't seen your first and third points.
1) & 3): Agree with your points. I'd just add that you don't have to speculate to use these networks for real day to day transactions. Also, i'm not bullish on incumbents innovating faster than these permissionless protocols.
For the three reasons mentioned in the post, I think Crypto has the potential to increase economic freedom in the world.
I don't speculate on it and I also HATE the bad actors it draws. It is being used for non speculation use cases so it can't be a complete dead end :D
Crypto is not money, it's a technology that makes it easy to track and transfer units out of account in a trustless way.
Most would confidently argue that stablecoins are money. I would argue Bitcoin and Ethereum are also nascent forms of money, but that's outside the wider tech/platform point.
How would you word it?
We met together as a team to reflect on why it makes sense to continue to build open source crypto products.
Have you ever gotten an AWS bill and thought: this is b*llshit? I hope I’m not the only one :-) CBill helps you avoid that while helping your team build a secure and cost-effective cloud.
We just got approved to be listed on the Slack directory [0]. Would love your feedback!
