Sentinel-IR and Sentinel-IR MCP are open for sponsors (and yes, an AI writes most of the code)

A 5-minute read. One maintainer, two Apache-2.0 packages, zero venture capital, a mildly embarrassing amount of honesty. The short version sentinel-ir and sentinel-ir-mcp now accept sponsorship.

Sentinel-IR and Sentinel-IR-MCP are now open for sponsorship. Both repositories feature a Sponsor section, GitHub Sponsor button, and a funding.json manifest that funding tools can read. To become a sponsor, visit github.com/sponsors/jakcmencz. Both tools analyze source code and provide AI agents with concise fact sheets, significantly reducing the amount of data sent to the AI.

The fact sheets cover key aspects like risk level, network, filesystem, calls, routes, imports, exports, and unsafe, FFI, build.rs, and proc-macro behavior. Both packages support JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Rust. The project is maintained by a single person, Jakub, who writes the code and ensures testing and release approvals.

The AI coding agent generates most of the code, which is then tested and released. The sponsors' contributions cover AI agent time, code development, testing, security, and maintaining the project. Monthly sponsorship plans are available starting at $5, providing coverage for CI and test machines across Linux and Windows, as well as support for the next language implementation and enhanced security measures.

An API receives a PDF, asks a model to extract the fields, and returns the result. On your laptop it works: the model takes a few seconds, the response arrives, everyone is happy. The trouble starts when the second, the tenth and the hundredth user upload files at the same time.
