Show HN:PolyMCP Python Tools with Autonomous Agents

Hacker News - Thu, 02/19/2026 - 5:07pm

PolyMCP is a framework that exposes functions (in Python or TypeScript) as MCP tools, serves them through standardized MCP servers, and orchestrates them with autonomous agents capable of planning and executing complex workflows.

With PolyMCP, you can: 1. Expose existing functions (in Python or TypeScript) as MCP tools without rewriting the code. 2. Use the PolyClaw agent to dynamically orchestrate tools, break down complex tasks, and adapt to failures, all running in isolated environments via Docker.

PolyMCP is ideal for enterprise automation, DevOps, data pipelines, and internal tool orchestration.

Show HN: CursorLens – Open-source screen recorder/editor for product demos

Hacker News - Thu, 02/19/2026 - 4:12pm

Hi HN — I built CursorLens, a free and open-source screen recorder/editor for product demos and walkthroughs.

It started as a fork of OpenScreen, but I reworked a lot of the capture/editing pipeline for a more native macOS workflow.

Current features:

full-screen or window recording native cursor hide/show behavior on macOS camera overlay + microphone recording timeline editing (trim/crop/zoom/cursor effects/annotations) subtitle generation + rough-cut workflow multi-aspect export (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) and batch export audio export controls (gain, loudness normalization, limiter) It’s still in beta, so stability can vary by machine.

Repo: https://github.com/blueberrycongee/CursorLens Releases: https://github.com/blueberrycongee/CursorLens/releases

I’d really appreciate feedback on:

recording reliability across setups editing UX (especially rough cut/subtitles) export speed/quality tradeoffs

Ask HN: What makes AI agent runtime logs defensible under adversarial audit?

Hacker News - Thu, 02/19/2026 - 4:12pm

Modern AI agents can execute tools, write to databases, and trigger irreversible actions.

Most teams rely on traditional logging (OpenTelemetry, SIEM, DB audit logs). But under adversarial conditions (audit, litigation, incident response), those logs depend on platform trust and cannot typically be verified independently of the system that produced them.

I’m exploring whether agent runtime evidence should be:

-deterministically canonicalized

-hash-chained

-signed

-optionally externally timestamped

-verifiable offline

The goal isn’t observability. It’s defensibility.

Open questions:

1.Is RFC 3161-style timestamping sufficient to deter practical backdating, or is some form of multi-witness anchoring necessary?

2.In real distributed agent systems, where does replayability break down?

3.At what scale or risk threshold does this move from overengineering to necessary?

Not looking for blockchain/ledger answers — more interested in models that integrate with existing infrastructure.

Trying to understand whether this addresses a real integrity gap in production systems.

Show HN: Auto-scrolling for WhatsApp group chats

Hacker News - Thu, 02/19/2026 - 4:09pm

I got tired of scrolling through endless WhatsApp group chats, so I built a browser extension that does the scrolling for me. You can tag contacts as "important" to scroll slower when their messages are in view. You can also hide messages from specific users (click-to-unhide like Slack has).

Show HN: Microstock.pro – AI-powered analytics for Adobe Stock contributors

Hacker News - Thu, 02/19/2026 - 4:08pm

Hi HN,

I built Microstock.pro, an analytics and AI research tool for stock contributors, primarily focused on Adobe Stock.

As a stock creator, I noticed that most contributors rely on guesswork when choosing what to create. There’s very little structured data available to identify profitable niches, keyword opportunities, and market gaps before investing hours into content production.

Microstock.pro aims to solve that by providing:

Keyword and niche research

Trend discovery

Competitive insights

AI-assisted content idea generation

Data-driven validation before uploading

The platform is specialized for Adobe Stock, but the research insights can also inspire strategies for other marketplaces like Shutterstock, since trends often overlap.

It’s still early-stage and I’m actively improving features based on feedback. I’d really appreciate thoughts from the HN community — especially from creators, indie hackers, or anyone working with marketplace analytics.

Happy to answer any technical or product questions.
