Hobbyist: self-hosted platform where every project auto-exposes an MCP endpoint with 14 DB tools
uziiuzair · reddit · 2026-08-26
A developer open-sourced Hobbyist, a self-hosted platform built on Postgres 18, Docker apps, workerd-based functions, and queues on your own hardware, with automatic sleep/wake so idle projects cost nothing.
The standout feature is AI-native design: every project automatically exposes an MCP endpoint — no separate server or glue code. Create a project and your agent can immediately work with it. 14 tools are live today, Postgres-focused: schema inspection, querying, and the operations an agent needs to actually use a database rather than just read about it.
The long-term thesis: infrastructure should be AI-native rather than AI-compatible — database, workers, functions, storage, and secrets all speaking MCP as a first-class interface, letting agents provision and operate real infrastructure on hardware you own (which matters when an agent touches prod-ish things). Status is honestly v0-alpha, not production ready, with MCP coverage postgres-only so far; the README lists what's broken. The author is asking the community which tools to prioritize next — worker deployment and queue tools are the obvious candidates.
