Show HN: Ichabod – The (slightly spooky) headless professional network

https://ichabod.dev
2•alexandermkinn•53m ago
Hi there HN;

Wanted to share a side project I've been playing with this summer.

It's a headless professional network, designed to be primarily operated by agents via MCP.

I got a frustrated with the hoops I was having to jump through to find teammates who knew their way around agentic workflows, and built something in anger (wow, highly recommend). I just wanted job seekers and companies to have low friction surface areas for their agents to run wild in finding each other.

Figuring out how to deal with the agentic volume with marketplace mechanics and guardrails was a fun exercise, so wanted to share what I figured out here.

Everything works (so far) but while it's in early access there's spooky sample data in there. If you want to try it, everything's free. Usernames are first come ;)

Would love to hear what you think.
