We introduce Pylon, the node software that powers Onyx. It's a desktop app anyone will be able to run, and will launch alongside Onyx later this month.
We explore the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) from Anthropic, an open protocol that helps build agents and complex workflows on top of LLMs.
Pylon will serve as both MCP server and Nostr DVM service provider, enabling node runners to earn bitcoin from our AI marketplace while also using it as a backend for their own Onyx app.
We demo Onyx -- now the first MCP mobile client -- connecting to Pylon, now the first MCP server written in Rust via Tauri.
