Tokolaku Launches MCP Server to Connect AI Agents with WhatsApp Business API

·1 views

Tokolaku, a WhatsApp business platform for Indonesian small and medium businesses, has launched a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents interact directly with WhatsApp Business accounts. Built on Meta's official WhatsApp Business Cloud API, the integration allows AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to read inbox conversations, browse product listings, and check order statuses. Developers and businesses can connect any MCP-compatible client simply by entering the server URL, with authentication handled via OAuth 2.1 or an API key. Write operations such as sending messages require a secret API key, while read-only access is granted through a standard OAuth flow with short-lived, revocable tokens. The platform also supports conventional REST endpoints and official SDKs, positioning the MCP layer as a core feature rather than an experimental add-on.

Hybrid Retrieval Combines Keyword and Semantic Search to Improve RAG Systems

Vector search, which finds documents based on semantic similarity, struggles with exact-match queries such as error codes, product IDs, and technical terms. Hybrid retrieval addresses this by combining multiple search methods — including keyword matching and semantic similarity — to improve information retrieval accuracy. For instance, a keyword search can directly locate a document containing 'ERR-1042', while semantic search handles conceptually related but differently worded queries. Complex questions, such as diagnosing a payment service failure after a deployment, may require pulling from several document types simultaneously, something a single search method cannot reliably handle. Hybrid retrieval systems tackle this by running multiple retrieval strategies in parallel and merging the results for a more complete answer.

Developer builds AI task router for OpenCode using TypeSafe's Jev model via OpenRouter

A developer has created a custom routing tool for OpenCode that uses TypeSafe's Jev AI model, accessed through the OpenRouter API, to classify implementation plans. The tool evaluates tasks against three criteria — coordination, uncertainty, and consequences — calculating complexity as the maximum of the first two. Based on this scoring, tasks are routed to either a 'lite' path for localized, straightforward changes or a 'build' path for complex, cross-cutting work requiring design judgment. The approach draws on published ideas around decomposed probabilistic questioning and structured JSON scoring vectors rather than single-shot problem solving. The complete source code, written in TypeScript as an OpenCode plugin, was shared publicly by the developer alongside the methodology.

Airport VS Code Extension Lets Developers Monitor Multiple AI Coding Agents at Once

A developer has released Airport, a free, open-source VS Code extension designed to simplify the management of multiple AI coding agents running in parallel. The tool addresses a common pain point where agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Devin become difficult to track across different projects and terminal windows. Airport provides a dedicated sidebar with live status indicators, showing which agent terminals require user attention and which are idle. It also includes features such as multi-workspace support, a dynamic files view, one-click agent launching, and session resume across workspace restarts. The extension is available on the VS Code Marketplace and on GitHub, and works by hooking into VS Code's shell integration API to monitor terminal output.
