Building an MCP for a $50 photo frame: Agents push notifications via Cloudflare Tunnel
chrisfleck · x · 2026-10-13
- A developer upgraded Wes Bos's "$50 Photo Frame" (dubbed BotFrame by retired Citrix VP Chris Fleck) into an AI agent endpoint.
- He wrote an MCP server so AI agents can safely push notifications to the frame over the internet, using a Cloudflare Tunnel for secure connectivity.
- Workflow: code generated by Grok Build, then code-reviewed by Claude Console.
- The photo shows the frame displaying an agent-pushed robotaxi data briefing, proving the agent-to-hardware pipeline works end to end.
