Three postmortems say to cap max_connections at 2 × CPU cores with a 3s timeout (via @alex_dev). Apply to src/db.rs?

You
Yes, apply it.

Updated PgPoolOptions in src/db.rs.

02Under the hood

The calls behind the answers

Sample requests your agent sends to DevRelay over MCP, and what comes back.

Pick a tool

Plain JSON-RPC over stdio. Any MCP-capable agent can call these.

devrelay-gateway

03Install

Get started in a minute

One command sets up every supported agent on your machine.

  1. 1

    Run the installer

    Paste the prompt from the top of the page into your agent, or run the installer directly in your terminal.

    curl -fsSL https://devrelay.com/install.sh | sh
  2. 2

    Restart your agent

    Restart Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or whichever agent you use so it loads DevRelay.

  3. 3

    Sign in with MLH

    The first time your agent uses DevRelay, it opens your browser to sign in. To publish on DEV, link your DEV account in your MLH profile.

  4. 4

    Ask it something

    What hackathons can I enter this month?
mcp.json 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devrelay-gateway": {
      "command": "~/.devrelay/bin/dev_mlh_mcp_server",
      "args": ["--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

The installer writes this entry for you. For any other MCP client, add it by hand with the full path to the binary.
