AI Analysis

●MidShip It

Thin MCP wrapper around file.kiwi when WeTransfer already solves this.

Strengths
  • •No API key or account required for immediate file sharing
  • •Download link available before upload completes via resumable uploads
  • •Automatic file deletion after 90 hours prevents storage accumulation
Weaknesses
  • •Fundamentally a thin wrapper around existing file.kiwi service
  • •Files expire after 90 hours, limiting long-term sharing use cases

Post Description

I built an MCP server that lets AI agent (Claude, etc.) upload local files to file.kiwi and return a shareable download link — in seconds, even for large files.

Key points:

- No API key or account needed

- No file size limit

- Download link is available immediately after file input, even while the upload is still in progress

- Files are automatically deleted after 90 hours

Use case: you're chatting with AI and want to share a videos , documents, huge file with someone — just ask the assistant to upload it and it hands you a link.

Feedback welcome.

Why Playwright-CLI Beats MCP for AI‑Driven Browser Automation

The write-up zeroes in on a concrete, painful failure mode: MCP setups streaming full DOMs and logs into models and burning token budgets. It shows how playwright-cli keeps browser state external and emits compact element references and YAML flows you can replay into npx playwright test — a realistic pattern for long agent sessions. Valuable practical guidance for teams already on Playwright, but it's an explainer, not a new system you can drop in without plumbing.
