Claude just came out with their own today, it was their april fools thing, but great stuff! :)
https://github.com/Kilo-Loco/homie-mcp
Found a couple of interesting things, but the coolest thing I saw was their Buddy system which gives you a tamagotchi-style virtual pet MCP.
This is something that i had in the back of my mind building but never spent the time exploring more until today.
How I built this repo:
I first had Deepseek find out the context of the leak and sent it to go find the source code.
Came across this repo https://github.com/kuberwastaken/claude-code and forked it.
Had my clawdbot agent clone it and start the investigation. Little back and forth until I found their Buddy system.
Told the agent to port it to Python so we could spin something up with FastMCP.
I proceeded to dictate to the agent from my phone to go through and test the code because there were no tests for it in the source code.
Had a subagent blindly follow the README.md until it was confident it would be an easy setup.
I followed the docs live for the first time in my YouTube livestream and it actually went pretty well.
Everything worked and I got a Capybara.
I named him Vato cuz he's my little vato:
+ .______. ( ) ( oooo ) `------'
╔════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Vato ║ ║ CAPYBARA ║ ║ Uncommon ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ DEBUGGING 80 ║ ║ PATIENCE 15 ║ ║ CHAOS 18 ║ ║ WISDOM 18 ║ ║ SNARK 41 ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════╝
This is going to be a pretty cool feature when the Claude team ships the official one.
They will likely ship it in the coming days to keep repos like mine out of the way but if you're curious ahead of time what you got, HomieMCP will give you a sneak peak.
It's deterministic so whatever Homie you get will be the same kind of Buddy you eventually get.
I only tested it on a mac tho so your results may vary.
What did y'all get?
