Dev builds prepaid MCP endpoints for the boring compliance tools agents lack
jithox_AI · reddit · 2026-09-07
The author argues agent demos stop at chat, while production needs dull, reliable tools: invoice validation, Peppol participant checks, VIES, sanctions screening, HS code preflight. He built prepaid read-only MCP endpoints so agents can call them with a key and get structured results plus a receipt trail; failed calls are free, with a small no-card trial. He asks what tooling gaps others hit in agent workflows.
