From an Afternoon MCP Hack to a Launched Side Project: AskTruffle Wraps MCP for Slack and Teams
Human-Possession135 · reddit · 2026-09-14
A developer describes hooking Claude up to server logs, the codebase, Swagger, a ticketing system, and Sentry via a custom MCP server — built in an afternoon in Python, answering sophisticated queries. Non-technical colleagues reacted as if it were black magic.
That gap inspired his side project: wrapping MCP in a Slack/Teams client with a SaaS UI for a few-click setup, now launched as asktruffle.com. He's asking how others roll out MCP to non-technical users — a classic "internal tool to SaaS" indie-hacker path.
