Started an open source project on Reddit 18 months ago that blew up into one of the most popular MCP servers in the world, just released v2!

This isn't an advertisement, and it's very much local and open - I already don't have enough time to keep up with the existing pull requests and issues... just a fond look back on how much this space has grown and matured in the past year. Shit was the wild west back then. Nowadays I can run qwen3.8 on a mac mini fast enough to drive this at full speed for free using native tool calling all day long. When I first released it, local model tool calling was much more hit or miss.

This week, I shipped v2 to a completely different world - more than 2 million people have downloaded it, 400 people have opened more than 400 issues and 800 PRs, 150 of you wonderful people have contributed code to main. Google Workspace MCP is both an MCP and CLI that can control every part of your google account.

I wrote up a little blog post along with the v2 release notes here and run through the evolution of coding harnesses, model capabilities and community participation over the past year and a half.

The code is MIT licensed, 100% open and yours to use, abuse, steal and sell as you please, the way it should be. As always, feedback, criticism & PRs are welcome!
