withOhm MCP Server Launches: Built-in Web Fetch Compliance and Prompt Cache Replay
iwasinnam2 · reddit · 2026-08-01
An indie developer launched withOhm, an MCP server designed for AI agents that bakes compliance and caching mechanisms directly into the tool pipeline.
Core Features:
- ohmfetchweb: Handles compliance during web ingestion. It consults robots.txt at fetch time, redacts PII before content reaches the model, and blocks SSRF attacks via IP pinning. It returns a compliance verdict alongside the content, allowing the agent to reason about what was redacted or blocked.
- ohmchat: An OpenAI-compatible passthrough with exact-replay caching. Requests are canonicalized and hashed; identical ones are answered from Redis (supporting streaming), significantly reducing the cost of repeated calls.
Released under the MIT license, the developer is actively asking the community for feedback on a specific design choice: is returning a "compliance verdict" alongside the content a useful architectural detail for agents, or just unnecessary noise?
