AIttache: A Read-Only MCP Server That Can't Nuke Your Prod

The author of AIttache calls it the antidote to MCP servers that will "happily let your LLM rm -rf something important while you're making coffee." Instead of agentic autonomy, AIttache is physically incapable of doing anything beyond requesting info from the connectors you provide. It's a read-only bridge.

Key Design Decisions

• 25+ read-only connectors: your terminal, your servers, the weather, your Steam library — the LLM gets to look, not touch.
• Zero write operations: no rm, no config changes, no executing commands that mutate state. The server refuses anything that isn't a GET-style request.
• Context, not autonomy: the useful part of having an LLM in infrastructure work is the context. This spares you from copy-pasting 300 lines of logs into a chat window.

Philosophy

The creator explicitly positions AIttache as a "sparring partner with situational awareness, not a chatbot that nukes prod at 8AM on a Monday because it was pretty sure it knew what it was doing." The core argument: "what could possibly go wrong" is not a viable deployment strategy.

Who It's For

Developers who want LLM-assisted troubleshooting (log analysis, error context, system inspection) without granting write access to their infrastructure.
