We ve spent the last few months moving our Google Workspace tools over to the Model Context Protocol (MCP). While the potential for 'agentic' workflows is huge, but the friction of working on the edge of a new protocol is very real.

For those who haven't dived in yet, the biggest hurdle we found was the Remote vs. Local setup, rather than the protocol itself. Most tutorials focus on local command-line installs, but for a production-ready SaaS, you have to build for remote MCP servers. This requires a completely different approach to authentication and persistent state that the current docs don't fully cover yet.

We just shipped something new on Product Hunt.

Ask Product Hunt AI is a way to explore launches, products, and discussions without digging through pages or trying the perfect search query. You can just ask a question and it pulls from everything happening on the platform products, comments, makers, all of it.

Looking for tools in a specific space? Want to see what people are saying about a launch? Trying to find something you saw last week but forgot the name of? Just ask.

Lately I ve been thinking about how hard it s become to choose well.

Almost every category now feels overcrowded agencies, SaaS tools, AI products, consultants, even simple productivity apps. On the surface, there are more options than ever. But instead of making decisions easier, that abundance often makes everything feel noisier and harder to evaluate.
