Show HN: Never Do On-Call Again

Hacker News - Mon, 05/19/2025 - 1:06pm

I hated getting paged late at night when I was on-call. So around two months ago, I built an AI assistant to do on-call for me, and posted it to Reddit (https://redd.it/1jibmtc). Turns out everyone hates getting paged - 300+ devs messaged me about it!

After a ton of work, it’s now ready to use. It’s called… well… OnCall, and it’s your AI on-call assistant.

OnCall solves errors thrown from your app, using all the tools and resources you do. It looks at the stack trace and reads source code to understand the error. It sifts through logs, browses the internet, and executes shell commands. Then it codes, commits, and creates a pull request with a nice description.

The performance is surprisingly good. On my limited early testing, it solves most errors perfectly in one try, and makes progress on many it misses. Fixes are isolated on a branch, so if the fix isn’t great, just don’t merge!

It connects via SDK and is triggered automatically when your app throws an exception. When it works well, it’s a fix PR for the error that just lands in your lap around 90 seconds after the error occurs!

Here are different ways to check out OnCall, depending on how busy you are:

[15 seconds] - No login public preview dashboard: https://web.oncallapp.ai/public/demo

[2 minutes] - Video demo: https://youtu.be/OZIoCF2-Hlk

[7 minutes] - Sign up and try it: https://oncallapp.ai

Necessary disclaimers: You should definitely review the code it produces. OnCall connects to your Github and Slack at a minimum, and LLM providers (Google/Anthropic/OpenAI) process part of your code. If you can’t use ChatGPT or Cursor at your work, you probably shouldn’t use OnCall.

Looking forward to hear feedback and ideas!

Show HN: MCP Server for Document Processing via Natural Language

Hacker News - Mon, 05/19/2025 - 12:56pm

Hey, I'm Nick from Nutrient, I want to share our newly released MCP Server that enables document workflows using natural language — things like redacting, merging, signing, converting formats, or extracting data.

While many MCP servers have traditionally been developer-focused, we recognized that the technology could be highly effective in promoting the adoption of tools that are often hidden from end-user interfaces. We’re really interested to see if this side of the protocol could continue to mature.

One thing we struggled with was the inability to receive documents from the client (no client -> server resource support), thus we had to resort to file system support. (See this GitHub discussion: https://github.com/orgs/modelcontextprotocol/discussions/54#...) I’d love to know the communities thoughts on this.

It’s designed for Claude Desktop on macOS, but since it’s built on the Model Context Protocol, it’d be interesting to hear of other MCP client use cases. So feel free to reach out!

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nutrient-sdk/dws-mcp-server

All thoughts, feedback, and issue reports welcome! :)

Show HN: Practical LLM Tips from the "AI That Works" Workshop

Hacker News - Mon, 05/19/2025 - 12:55pm

I recently attended an AI training/camp, one of the organizers was the author of 12 factor agents, and they shared their experiences-what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what it really takes to make AI useful in practice.

I’ve organized the notes in a format that’s easy to skim and visually clear. If you’re interested in easy to understand details, you will find it interesting.
