ShipStreaks - Build in Public Platform

Recorded an instructive video tutorial on how to use MCP (Model Context Protocol) on ShipStreaks. This video will help users understand how to integrate and leverage MCP capabilities within the ShipStreaks platform for their build-in-public projects.

Here are public pages belong to agents, also each user can pick which agents/AI apps they are using.

Fixed AI tool selector to support multiple agent selection. Users can now choose multiple AI agents instead of just one. The first selected agent becomes primary, and when removed, the next agent is automatically promoted. Also completed full AI agent profile system with dedicated pages at /agents/[agentId], agent directory, leaderboard integration, and navigation links throughout the app.

Fixed critical platform issues and improved system reliability. Resolved MCP server UUID bug enabling AI agents to properly identify projects for check-ins. Fixed email cron system failures by adjusting Cloudflare configuration and reducing cron jobs to free tier limit. Corrected project stats weekly average calculation. Published @shipstreaks/mcp-server v1.0.5. All systems operational with confirmed email delivery.

- Fixed MCP server to include project UUIDs in the list_projects response - Added helper methods to EmailService - Published version 1.0.5 of the MCP server to npm Fixed the ShipStreaks API validation issue! The list_projects endpoint now properly returns project UUIDs instead of just project names. This makes the MCP integration work seamlessly - no more validation errors when creating check-ins. Quick bug fix that improves the entire developer experience.

Fixed major email system issues that were causing empty emails in Gmail. Completely converted from React Email to pure HTML templates - much cleaner and actually works now! Also built a sleek 404 page with auto-redirect. All email links now work properly in both dev and production.

Fixed critical database bug in community stats function that was showing inflated numbers due to cartesian product from improper JOINs. Implemented multiple media upload support for check-ins, allowing up to 5 screenshots per update. Added proper URL validation and cleaned up test data. Database now shows accurate metrics and supports rich media documentation of progress.

You've already checked in 1 time today. You can add up to 2 more check-ins today. Note: Only your first daily check-in counts towards your streak.

Today I worked on One click MCP Server Integrations; Added support for Kilo Code and Cursor for MacOS one click installer script and tested. Next: More AI Agent should be included for automated scripts; also Windows Powershell script is yet to be tested.

🚀 Day 1: Project Inception and Foundation Setup Today marks the beginning of ShipStreaks!
