Show HN: A Buyer's Editor to Fix B2B Procurement PDF Hell with API and MCPhttps://orbitquote.com/22+ years as a Software engineer/programmer.For a reason that only life can explain, in the last 8 years i went from Adobe Flash Specialist to owning a small solar installation business and a small electric and plumbing materials. o.OWe had a problem every time that we had to resupply or shop for new goods. In Brazil, things are manual in B2B and restricted to PDF Quotations/Proforma negotiations. Nobody has ecommerce, only the middlemen that resell what they buy from the factory with their margins on top.For better margins, direct from the factory is the way to go.Long story short. We wasted 2 weeks on a single supplier for just one order.On the supplier side, everything is a 100+- PDF pages catalog. One PDF page could have 100+ products that you have to manually extract into Excel with the product code (sku)(even with chatgpt and a gazillion of .final.final_right.final_corrected.xlsx(10).xlsx ), to simply ask for the price and minimum items for order >> receive another PDF >> Excel aAug 17, 2026 6:34 PM

Show HN: HarnessRouter: Unified interface for agent harnesseshttps://github.com/harnessrouter/harnessrouterHey HN! We are building HarnessRouter, a canonical API for running Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, and other managed agent harnesses as your product backend.Before building HarnessRouter, I used to build our own agent harness for our products. I tried LangGraph, agent SDKs from different vendors, pydantic, LLM tool use / function call, and so on. It's a very heavy lifting engineering effort, and I am disappointed about the agent deliveries compared to what Codex, CC can deliver. That changed my mindset. The frontier labs and famous open source communities are already putting so much engineering effort to build the world's best harnesses, why not leverage them directly instead of building our own, just like how we call LLM chat completion endpoints instead of training our own models?We provide a docker image to run HarnessRouter locally.----------Quickstart: docker pull harnessrouter/harnessrouter docker run -d --name harnessrouter -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 -v harnessrouter:/data harnessrouterAug 17, 2026 6:33 PM
