esingh2581 · reddit · 2026-08-17
Developer esingh2581 built Ackd, a structured job-search tracker, and exposes its data via MCP for his Hermes agent Puck. Puck can answer queries about application status, identify stale follow-ups, analyze response signals, and more. The design constraint is that the agent can draft and suggest but cannot auto-submit or send. The author shares his experience and seeks feedback on the MCP tool surface.
