Java developer by trade. In my own time I build personal tools that connect AI to the real world — things I actually use, wired up to my own data.
MCP servers — Model Context Protocol adapters that give AI assistants genuine capabilities beyond chat.
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| KanbanMCP | Connects Claude to Kanboard — my self-hosted kanban board for tracking tasks and projects |
| MediaWikiMCP | Connects Claude to my personal MediaWiki instance — a self-hosted second brain for notes, projects and reference docs |
The goal: Claude can read my task board, update my wiki, and work with context about what I'm actually doing — rather than starting from scratch each conversation.
Both deploy via GitHub Actions → ECR → EC2, built on Quarkus and compiled to GraalVM native images (~10–20 MB resident).
- Home automation — Home Assistant, Zigbee, MQTT, solar/battery monitoring with foxess_modbus; early days also with hass-mcp-server to give Claude direct access to Home Assistant
- Restoring bikes
- Java, Apache Camel, messaging and microservices
