When are we adding payments as a category? :)

(stripe SDK, Coinbase SDK, Circle SDK, OpenCommerce SDK)

Those are useful, but "open-sourceness" is not a relevant trait. I plan to publish another short post covering the tech stack, commercial and open, which will include such payment-related packages.

I went to syria instantly after Tha fall of the regime and building there now. Relying on opensource is a culture here. Am really interested in learning from u and really looking 4 payment solutions to replicate here and custmiz to solve local problems

What about interacting with a website or app through it's API? And how do you define, constrain and focus on the function of the system?

APIs will always be the preferred method given that they are structured and scoped. The post covers websites and apps that don't expose a direct API, which is a less rigid alternative to an API.

Anthropic answered that question a couple of weeks ago with the release of Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Good post, but you're missing https://github.com/dagworks-inc/burr ;) It is not only an open source framework that you can pair with things like langchain & haystack (see https://blog.dagworks.io/), it also comes with integrated observability that you can self-host.

So it's a complete framework + observability solution.

I would love to see the addition of open source ui driven agent builders to this list. Flowise and Langflow come to mind as two of the top ones in this space built on top of langchain
