Show HN: Tilion – MCP for Claude Code to stop it getting blocked on the web

Tilion is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool designed for use with Claude Code, aimed at preventing the AI from being blocked or restricted when accessing web-based resources.

Background

- MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude interact with external tools and data sources; it's built by Anthropic. - Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent that can run commands, edit files, and browse the web — but sites often block automated traffic. - Tilion is a new open-source MCP server that routes Claude Code's web requests through a rotating proxy system, effectively making them look like normal browser visits. - The core problem: AI coding agents increasingly need to read documentation, API references, or GitHub issues, but many sites block non-human traffic. Tilion acts as a bypass layer for Claude Code specifically.

    Newer Claude models sometimes invent extra keys in tool call arguments, breaking validation in Pi's edit tool. The author suspects post-training for Claude Code's forgiving harness makes alternative schemas fail. This suggests closed RL training can degrade general tool-use reliability.

    Simon Willison released llm-coding-agent 0.1a0, an experimental coding agent built on his LLM library. The agent provides tools for reading, editing, searching files and executing commands, and ships with a Python API and CLI. It was developed using Claude Code (Fable 5) via TDD with a spec-first approach, and is available as a slop-alpha on PyPI.
