Show HN: OpsCat – A single-binary software catalog with MCP for AI agents
🐾 OpsCat The Zero-Config, Single-Binary Software Catalog & MCP Platform Engine Auto-discover microservices, visualize software architecture graphs, enforce compliance scorecards, and expose your catalog natively to AI coding agents. 🌟 Why OpsCat? Legacy developer portals (like Backstage) are notoriously heavy, requiring weeks of boilerplate TypeScript setup, complex yarn monorepos, and high memory footprints (>1GB RAM). OpsCat reimagines platform engineering for 2026: ⚡ Single Binary (< 30MB RAM): Written in Go with embedded React/Vite Web UI.
