DevLog 250614 – MCP Design and Editor Tools

Today I drafted the architecture for my MCP (Master Control Program) a sovereign system that connects my desktop forge, remote server, and laptop utility node using NKN, Rust, n8n, Python, and Tauri.

The vision is to orchestrate container-based workflows, AI tasks, and automation triggers across all of my machines using a decentralized and secure messaging layer. NKN handles the relay. Rust compiles the orchestration logic. Tauri will host the GUI. Python bridges system utilities. And n8n provides the visual automation layer.

Component Overview

• NKN: Peer-to-peer message routing between all nodes
• n8n: Drag-and-drop logic for automation flows
• Rust: Core command orchestrator and binary logic
• Tauri: Cross-platform GUI with native shell hooks
• Python: Scripts for file ops, sync jobs, and LLM tasks

Use Case Example

A button in the GUI might trigger a NKN message to the server:

nkn.send("server.mcp", "ollama run mistral")

The server runs the LLM task and reports status back to the MCP, which then updates the GUI or calls a webhook to sync output to a render directory.

New Utility: Arynwood Editor

I also deployed a custom HTML/Markdown editor at arynwood.com/editor. This tool helps me draft posts like this one directly in the browser with full style preview, markdown-to-HTML toggle, and save/export support. It runs independently of my terminal but matches the vibe of the rest of the DevLog suite.

Linux Terminal Cheatsheet

I created a simple notes file to document my most-used Linux and shell commands. You can find it on GitHub under:

main/notes/terminal

It's a live reference I’ll keep updating with shortcuts, syntax reminders, and obscure bash tricks.
