👋 Hi, I’m Ben!

I'm a full-stack engineer building developer tools and helping shape the future of the agentic web.

What I'm working on

• 🏢 Building at Zapier
• 🌐 Improving how AI agents discover and interact with software
• 🤖 Exploring MCP, agent protocols, and AI-native developer experiences
• 🏃 Training for endurance races (running, cycling, swimming)

Talk to me via MCP

My personal site ships a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT — your AI can then query my resume, writing, and portfolio directly.

Cursor:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http ben-mcadams https://benmcadams.info/api/mcp

Codex CLI:

codex mcp add ben-mcadams -- npx -y mcp-remote https://benmcadams.info/api/mcp

Claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://benmcadams.info/api/mcp

ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Developer mode → Add MCP server → paste https://benmcadams.info/api/mcp

Everyone else:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ben-mcadams": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://benmcadams.info/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

ClawHub:

clawhub install ben-mcadams-mcp

Six tools available

• about — quick site + tools overview
• get_resume — full JSON Resume
• list_writing — my blog posts (metadata)
• get_post — full markdown of a post by slug
• search_writing — keyword search across my writing
• get_portfolio — projects I've built

Try these prompts

• "What's the latest role on Ben McAdams's resume?" → invokes get_resume
• "Search Ben's writing for 'discovery'" → invokes search_writing
• "Summarize Ben's career trajectory using his resume" → get_resume + reasoning
• "What is Ben working on at Zapier, and what has he written about it?" → chains get_resume + search_writing

Let's build together

I'm always interested in collaborating on open source, developer tooling, and AI agent projects. Feel free to open an issue or reach out!
