Full post has the concrete examples behind each of these - how we chunked a 409KB API reference, what the eval rubric looks like, the Vercel log drain pipeline for measurement. What I actually did, not what I think you should do. hookdeck.com/blog/developer-platform-agent-ready
Diagram showing five layers of an agent-ready developer platform: Information (llms.txt, markdown doc routes, OpenAPI spec, SDKs), Guidance (docs, agent skills, prompts), Action (API, SDKs, CLI, MCP server), Verification (structural validation, drift detection, agent scenario testing), and Measurement (server-side analytics, User-Agent classification, navigation tracking).

Turns out that Wally was an engineer working on event-driven systems in Spain.

After watching @martyndavies.me and Josh from @zuplo.com discuss MCPs, seeing Zapier's release of Zapier #MCP, and reading two suggestions (a16z & @addyosmani.bsky.social) that there may be such a thing as an "MCP Gateway", I thought I'd do some research and write up my findings on the MCP Gateway.
