Practical guides
Building a Receiver for ApiCatcher's Sync Protocol Without Touching the Native App
ApiCatcher opened its real-time sync protocol so anyone can build a receiver. Here's how to build the ingest-store-view half as a hosted endpoint, with the interception line drawn honestly.
The e2e report split: what moves onto a hosted endpoint, and what stays with the browser
A 30-minute e2e report mostly burns on MCP round-trips. The browser half can't leave your machine, but the API tests and the formatted report can rebuild as a hosted endpoint.
Rebuilding the caretaker-controlled TV playlist: a hosted player and an editable URL ledger
A builder debrief on the 'node list' TV app: keep the durable half — a hosted HTML player, a hand-edited whitelist, a small remote endpoint — and drop the fragile shell.
The bot isn't the product anymore — the tools it calls are
A recurring signal across recent builder posts: stop hosting your own AI bot, and start shipping the tools and data that the agents people already run can call.
Stop Making Agents Guess Your UI: Build Tools They Can Call
The week's signal is clear: AI agents want callable tools, not screenshots to squint at. Here's how a small team can ship agent-ready endpoints on VicroCode.
Building a Symbolic Derivation Service: When the Agent Shouldn't Do the Algebra
A SymPy-backed formula checker with residual verification, rollback-enabled sessions, and a searchable library—hosted in Python, not pushed through MCP.
The Small AI Tool Pattern: Model in the Middle, Quota at the Door
A look at why solo AI web tools keep landing on the same shape, and how to build the frontend, model backend, metering, and paywall on one platform.
A hosted breaking-change gate for AI-written APIs: diff OpenAPI specs in Python, log verdicts to SQLite, publish an HTML report
AI ships API changes faster than anyone can review. Here's how to rebuild an oasdiff-style compatibility gate as a hosted, inspectable VicroCode build.
