LLMs are great at writing code but struggle with writing tool calls. Code Mode solves this by giving your model ONE powerful tool: a TypeScript execution sandbox with access to your entire toolkit. Complex, multi-step workflows thereby become a single batched execution.
Independent studies show massive gains: 60% faster execution, 68% fewer tokens, 88% fewer round-trips, while Anthropic's research team found a massive reduction of 98.7% in token usage using CodeMode.

Hi Product Hunters, I'm Ali, one of the folks behind UTCP, building together with @radulescu_razvan, @juan_viera_garcia1 and our amazing community of contributors. Today we're launching the first implementation of Code Mode, a concept first put forth by Cloudflare, and later advocated for by Anthropic. Code Mode is the simplest way to let LLMs call MCP & UTCP tools by writing code, instead of...

Hi Product Hunters, I’m Ali, one of the faces behind UTCP Agent alongside @juan_viera_garcia1 , @radulescu_razvan , @andrei_stefan_ghiurtu, Bek, and the rest of the contributors. For context, we built UTCP as a lightweight alternative to MCP that leverages existing infra and enables direct tool calling. In the same philosophy of simplicity, we’re now launching UTCP Agent, which allows you to...

What challenges have you faced building and deploying tool calling agents?
Hi Product Hunt community, When we started experimenting with agent tool calling (can you blame us for wanting our agents to read Notion, check calendars, and help out day to day), we quickly realized how clunky it was. With MCP servers and all that, it just felt unnecessarily complicated. So we built UTCP, a lightweight alternative that uses existing infra and enables direct tool calls. Now...

RFC (Request for Comments) for the UTCP
Hi community, Thanks a lot for sharing your support for the UTCP launch. Since our goal behind the UTCP (in addition to the technical elegance) is that no single organization should have any control over the protocol that governs agent tool calling, therefore the main contributors behind UTCP don't belong to a single company or country, for that matter. To make it even more grassroots and...
UTCP (Universal Tool Calling Protocol) is an open standard for AI agents to call tools directly, positioned as a lightweight alternative to MCP. It eliminates the "wrapper tax" for lower latency by using a simple JSON manifest to connect to native APIs.

👋 Hey Product Hunt — I'm Ali, one of the co-founders of Bevel. Bevel is your AI-augmented documentation and diagramming tool for codebases, and we're on a mission to democratize code understanding — starting with legacy systems where context is often the hardest thing to find. Over the years, we've seen dev teams waste hours (or days) trying to answer simple questions like: "What does this...
BevelDemocratizing code understanding through docs and diagrams
Bevel is a VS Code extension we built to keep docs up-to-date and generate deterministic diagrams right inside the IDE. It helps us understand what our code does and why. We built it for ourselves, and we'd love to see if it helps others too.
