Hi HN,
I've been building Scout over the past few months.
Point it at an OpenAPI spec and documentation, and it builds a grounded understanding of the platform: architecture, entities, workflows, starter code, a threaded AI chat, and an MCP server for coding agents.
Everything runs locally. No accounts or hosted backend.
One of the problems I kept running into was coding agents confidently inventing endpoints because they only knew APIs from training data. Scout uses the OpenAPI spec and docs as ground truth instead.
It's MIT licensed and I'd love feedback from people building integrations or using coding agents heavily.
