@MousCase placed a significant order for a bunch of backpacks with you 9 days ago. Website and confirmation said you aim to ship within 1 working day... but nothing has happened. I emailed [email protected] and keep getting "sorry, in a queue" messages... then I get a mail saying don't reply to "[email protected]" because nobody is monitoring!? @jamesgriffithm @joshua_shires what kind of clown bus operation is this?

I guess you just have an automated job to send this message? Worst purchasing experience I’ve had online for sometime. 10 days to get through your support queue when you suggest next day dispatch is 🐮 đŸ’©

5 whys of MCP Gateway 1. Discovery - where do folks go to discover what MCP Servers they can use? 2. Authentication - sign in with SSO on the frontend, whatever the MCP needs on the backend 3. Authorization - who can do what; all based on claims 4. Observability - audits, logs and analytics 5. Guardrails - beware prompt injection, pii leakage

British politics is my favorite because of stuff like this. The line about floppy discs in the 90s got me @CountBinface

Love the mug touch – makes xAI feel right at home in the dropdown! Thanks for adding Grok support to Zuplo's AI Gateway. Excited to see what devs build with it. 🚀

I'm super excited about this release. Most Zuplo customers use Zuplo 'outside-in'; to expose internal APIs externally. In this case, folks are using it 'inside-out' (including us, very actively) to manage how Zuplo employees access 1st and 3rd party MCPs. book.zuplo.com if you want to talk about this.
Launching the MCP Gateway. Public beta, open today. One gateway in front of every MCP server your agents touch, yours and third-party. ✅ Full OAuth 2.0, spec-compliant ✅ Expose only the tools you pick ✅ Analytics on every call Get started for free: zuplo.link/oEi6zWc

Love Alex, check out his story on Web MCP.
To celebrate the launch of Zuplo's MCP Gateway, we sat down with Alex Nahas, inventor of WebMCP and collaborator on the Gateway, for a whiteboard breakdown of what WebMCP actually is. Watch it in full: zuplo.link/yaynahas

Am I losing my mind? I have read this message about 50 times now.

I feel strongly that @AndyBurnhamGM ‘s messaging should be “Yes I will run for Prime Minister and it would be great for this constituency to have representation at the highest level from somebody who provably cares about people like them” (Used to live in Ashton)

After years building API products and helping Zuplo customers ship API auth, the same nine patterns keep separating key systems that scale from the ones teams rip out a year in. Stripe, Anthropic, Resend, Supabase, Linear. They all converge on the same pattern on their public APIs. Worth understanding why. I wrote up the nine practices, and recorded a brand new v2 of our most popular video for anyone who'd rather watch than read. Watch (or read, up to you!): zuplo.link/WCv1k56 #APIKeyWeek

Marc knows it. Your API is your UI. How good is yours? Let @zuplo get you to a great API quickly.
Welcome Salesforce Headless 360: No Browser Required! Our API is the UI. Entire Salesforce & Agentforce & Slack platforms are now exposed as APIs, MCP, & CLI. All AI agents can access data, workflows, and tasks directly in Slack, Voice, or anywhere else with Salesforce Headless 360. Faster builds, agentic everything. 🚀 #Salesforce #Agentforce #AI venturebeat.com/ai/salesforc

Have you got poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs? I know somebody that can help. @zuplo
“We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs.” If you’re building software that can’t work fully headlessly in a way that agents want to use, you’re not prepared for what the future of software is going to look like. Agents will use software 100X more than people, and people will more and more interact with their data and workflows via agents across many different platforms. This is the real risk but also opportunity for platforms right now. Software doesn’t go away, but it becomes the guardrails and business logic for what agents are able to operate on. But if you can’t connect to wherever the agents want to do that work, you’re DOA.

why did @Zoom get so needy? this thing is driving me nuts. also, what is going on in that product team? I still have no usable whiteboard (just acquire excalidraw already) but they did spend time copying Apple's worst feature in years with the gestures nonsense.
