Hack Hydra: The HydraDB Open Source Hackathon
Description
HydraDB x MCP & CLI HackathonJuly 31, 6 PM PT → August 7, 6 PM PT · Virtual · $500 in prizesDiscord: https://discord.gg/t6mE9hCJzrHydraDB is a context substrate for AI agents — Knowledge, Memories, a context graph, and one /query that merges them, personalized per user.We shipped an MCP server and a CLI. Both work. Both expose about a third of the API. The MCP server can store and search memories — but can't ingest a document, can't run a type: "all" query, can't touch a single connector, and can't show you the graph. The CLI has the same holes and still speaks the old tenant vocabulary.Your challenge: make the MCP server and the CLI reach everything the API can do. Nothing else. Two surfaces, one week.MCP tracksCLI tracksEither surfacePrefer designing to building? Open an RFC on either surface: right tool granularity for agents, collection scoping across users in one session, who decides when a memory gets written.Judging: merged over demoed, working over ambitious. Does a new developer get further, faster, after your PR?Warm-up bounties: npm package name disagrees between docs and README · HYDRA_DB_* vs HYDRADB_* across three tools · tenant/sub_tenant left over from the v2 rename.To join: claim a track in #hackathon, get a key at app.hydradb.com, fork hydradb-mcp or hydradb-cli, PR before August 7 at 6 PM PT, post a 60-second demo.
