    zDeploy: a one-binary wizard for deploying the Zerto appliance on HPE HVM

    Posted on October 20, 2026 by Justin Paul | 0 Comments

    Why I replaced MetaMCP with a custom MCP gateway I designed

    Posted on August 12, 2026 by Justin Paul | 0 Comments
    Recently I started moving my MCP tools from a MetaMCP instance to a new MCP gateway call torii. Torii is a replacement for MetaMCP that I wrote the requirements for (I won’t attempt to say I coded it because that isn’t the world we live in anymore). Let’s talk about the differences and why I…
