Show HN: A CLI that writes its own integration code
Show HN (score: 5)Description
Her problem: customers wanted to create Opps in Salesforce from inside the chat in her app. We kept seeing this pattern: teams build agents and their users can perfectly describe what they want: "pull these three objects from Salesforce and push to nCino when X condition is true", but translating that into a generalized hard-coded tool the agent can call is a lot of work and does not scale since the logic is different for every user.
What superglue CLI does: you point it at any API, and your agent gets the ability to reason over that API at runtime. No pre-built tools. The agent reads the spec, plans the calls, executes them.
The founder using this in production described it like this: she gave the CLI to her agent with an instruction set and told it not to build tools, just run against the API. It handled multi-step Salesforce object creation correctly, including per-user field logic and record type templates.
Concretely: instead of writing a createSalesforceOpp tool that handles contact -> account -> Opp creation with all the conditional logic, you write a skill doc and let the agent figure out which endpoints to hit and in what order.
The tradeoff is: you're giving the agent more autonomy over what API calls it makes. That requires good instructions and some guardrails. But for long-tail, user-specific connectors, it's a lot more practical than building a tool for every case.
Happy to discuss. Curious if others have run into the "pre-defined tool" ceiling with MCP-based connectors and how you've worked around it.

Show HN: Hosted PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 API We do a lot of document processing, and PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 is one of the best open models we've used. We wanted to use it as an api, but couldn't find anyone hosting it. so we started hosting it ourselves, but to get full utilization on the GPUs, we decided to let others use it as well.<p>If we did the pricing math right (which I hope we did), it should be the cheapest OCR there is, at just $0.001/page. Let us know if you find it useful
