Cleaned up my list of projects/apps over at david.coffee/projects/ a bit. Should be everything now! ✨

MCP Nest can now handle multiple separate config deployments. So you can have one config for daily life in Claude, and one with dev tools in Cursor or VSCode 💁♀️
mcpnest.dev/guides/multi...
Check it out at mcpnest.dev and get started for free
My first contribution to @zed.dev made it into the latest release 🎉
Little mise plugin to set 1Password/Keychain secrets as environment variables - github.com/dvcrn/mise-c...
Added GigSky and an “unlimited” filter - esim.d.pn/country/camb...
Any other esim providers that are trustworthy and good? Want to keep the provider list small and vetted
Small morning hacked-together project: esim.d.pn
eg) esim.d.pn/country/viet...
Tiny site to compare Airalo and Nomad eSIMs. May add others at some point but I wanted to focus on the providers that I actually use and trust
Using Crush + Claude as my travel @TripIt secretary to handle my flights, accommodation, etc
All hooked up through @microfnhq functions
Works really well! 🙂
microfn.dev
Calling a Grab in Vietnam be like
This is the first time I'm seeing Claude use "Holy shit" 😂
Crush + @microfnhq is a lovely combination
Gave it a task to debug some stuff and it proactively creates new functions on mfn, executes them, checks status and iterates
All through the microfn MCP server, it's like giving AI a sandboxed js environment
microfn.dev
Small reflections from ~1-ish week on the @ChatGPTapp Pro ($200) plan, coming from @claudeai Max $200
gpt-5-high far beats claude opus in coding tasks, but man I really don't like the GPT-5 models for day-to-day non-coding stuff. I much prefer the Claude output style
Heard other nomads (I think it was @levels.io) talking about this thing where you wake up in a country and for a brief moment not knowing where you are
Thought it’s bs I just had that happen today
New blog post - I finally understand @Cloudflare Zero Trust Argo tunnels!
Bit of a guide to get started because the learning curve can be quite steep
david.coffee/cloudflare-z...
And what does it say about you when you describe split tunnel routing with “so cool”…
This effectively allows you to split tunnel specific hosts through tunnels to pin an IP
Eg you can route the ChatGPT domains through a cloudflared tunnel to make sure the APIs are always available, even when traveling to regions where it’s blocked
Oh wow, @Cloudflare Zero Trust has hostname based egress routing through cloudflared tunnels now!
This fixes most GEO related issues I had in the past, so cool!

Is Claude still the only AI that can use MCP tools in voice mode? It's crazy that none of the other players can do that yet!
Being able to manipulate documents or save notes is such a good feature, it's unbelievable not more players can do that! (Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok)
Another "oh Japan" encounter
> go to cafe, decaf cafe latte and caramel latte is on the menu
> ask for caramel late, but decaf
> "no, not possible"
> "but isn't a caramel late just a late + caramel sauce?"
> "yes"
> "so can't you just put the caramel sauce into the decaf late?"
> “no, impossible”
Okay, mcpnest.dev is now fully OAuth Remote MCP compatible. Ready to be plugged into Claude or ChatGPT ✨
mcp.mcpnest.dev/mcp
Quick new addition to mcpnest.dev:
You can now toggle individual tools to include/exclude them from the aggregated MCP server
To save tokens, reduce context pollution or exclude stuff you just never need anyway
Tried using Jules again to see if it got any better, but the GitHub trigger STILL causes it to implement any change on top a super outdated HEAD lol
This only happens when you trigger it through GitHub
Reported this a dozen times but I guess I'm the only one using this feature
For example, you can use the `ask-perplexity` MCP (local only) in Claude through remote connectors, including on mobile
Made a thing - mcpnest.dev
Little service to move locally hosted MCP servers into the cloud, to use with remote MCP clients
Super experimental but works quite nicely so far! Need a few testers 👀
For paying, there is
- Google Developer Premium (Includes Gemini CLI, no Jules, no Gemini)
- Gemini Paid plans (Includes Jules, Gemini, no Gemini CLI)
- Google Cloud Code Assist (Standard/Enterprise) (Includes Gemini CLI, no Jules, no Gemini)
Probably even forgot something
The Gemini offering is so fragmented, it's borderline funny
For code reviews there is
- Code Assist Code Review
- Code Assist CLI Code Review GitHub action (API key only)
For coding there is
- Jules
- Code Assist CLI
- Code Assist CLI GitHub action (API key only)
- Code Assist editor plugin
Got access to @diabrowser and got access to @PerplexityComet and still no idea what to do with them (or Edge+Copilot, Chrome+Gemini for that matter).
What's are y'alls usecases for AI browsers?
Dang, gpt-oss-20gb is very snappy on my "old" M1 Max
Did Claude Code context window shrank? I'm getting the auto-compact wayyyyyy earlier than before now. It feels like it's half the size now
- Hammering the "Save Login" button 3-5 times until anything actually happens
- Hitting "regenerate" on Masked Email 10 times before it finally goes through and generates an email
- Extension just doesn't unlock at all when clicking the little inline lock icon
How can the
@1Password
Safari extension still be so incredibly buggy? It's been around for years and the it still has the feel of a just released beta product
Just integrate with the systemwide macOS password provider finally 🙄
