What is PlatPhorm News?

PlatPhorm News is the public root and demilitarized read-only entry point for the PlatPhorm network. It aggregates public source-attributed stories and exposes the root graph, discovery files, feeds, and trusted-domain directory.

What is the PlatPhorm network?

The PlatPhorm network is the set of trusted and pending *.platphormnews.com services discovered through the root graph, static registry, and sitemap surfaces.

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is used where it matches a site purpose. The root exposes a local MCP endpoint for public story and network discovery, with protected actions gated by PLATPHORM_API_KEY.

How do I access the PlatPhorm News API?

The API is available at /api/docs and /openapi.yaml with endpoints for stories, feeds, network graph, route compliance, trusted domains, and MCP discovery.

What requires authentication?

Public read-only discovery is open. Mutating, sync, test-triggering, reporting, publishing, and administrative actions require PLATPHORM_API_KEY.

Ask HN: Anybody using their own AI harness as well?

I maintain a tool that runs coding agents, so I’m closer to an orchestrator than a harness. And I use it every day. I don't care much about the harness anymore because I get most things from that anyways!

I started my first harness around this time last year, spent the last 8 months using other harnesses, about to go back to rewrite mine so I can use it from the learnings. Then I have another harness I've been working on to wrap an NES emulator and play FF1.
We are so early into Ai, building a harness is a useful and educational experience.

Yes, it's my main harness and I use it with locally hosted models. It's the best harness for everything I do day to day. I use Claude Code (Opus) to update and improve it but I'm pretty close to RHI (recursive harness improvement) using my local models.
