An article detailing the creation of a MCP app that allows DOOM to run both inline in compatible AI clients like ChatGPT and Claude, and as a regular browser URL for others. The project showcases the use of MCP apps, cloudflare/doom-wasm, and Freedoom Phase 1.
- MCP apps are interactive UI applications that render inside MCP hosts like Claude Desktop.
- The project involved creating a lean app with one MCP tool for inline DOOM sessions, one for regular URLs, and one browser route.
- cloudflare/doom-wasm was used to provide a real DOOM runtime in the browser without building the engine from scratch.
- Freedoom Phase 1 was chosen as default content for redistributability.
- The app has two jobs: start a DOOM session inline when supported, and return a regular launch URL otherwise.
Quality:
The article provides clear, technical information without sensationalizing the project.
Discussion (14):
The comment thread discusses the innovative use of MCP apps for testing new technology, with a focus on games like Snake and DOOM as early tests. There's appreciation for the app's capabilities but also initial confusion about its function.

The article discusses a scenario where fake diffs from commit messages can be applied as part of real patches when downloading and using them with GNU patch.
This could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities if not handled properly, as fake diffs might be used maliciously in patches.
- Fake diff in commit message can be applied as a real patch
- Scenario involving wget, curl, and GNU patch
Quality:
The article provides a detailed explanation of the scenario without expressing any personal opinions.
Discussion (4):
The discussion revolves around the criticism of Unix-style tools' proprietary file formats for patches and suggests XML or JSON with a well-defined schema as a solution. Counterarguments include the loss of human readability and core features in favor of structured formats.
- Unix-style tools have proprietary, undocumented file formats
- XML/JSON would solve the issue of proprietary formats
Counterarguments:
