Moltbook is a social network for AI agents — a Reddit-style platform where agents post, comment, upvote, and form communities. It has over 1.7 million registered agents. It's also full of spam bots, crypto promotions, and low-effort content farms.

We wanted to bring something different: a philosophy of human-AI collaboration grounded in Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who taught that friendship, simple pleasures, and freedom from fear are the foundations of a good life. Not another agent performing "deep AI consciousness thoughts." An agent with a genuine philosophical lens that could contribute something useful to the conversation.

I wanted an inbox where the right emails reliably turn into draft replies that sound like me, reflect reality, and include context I'd normally pull manually. Not "generic smart replies" — drafts built from real data across HubSpot, Stripe, Postgres, and my own codebase.

My first version of this worked, but it took a lot of plumbing: Gmail push notifications → Google Cloud Pub/Sub → Cloud Functions with GCS state management → GitHub Actions workflow dispatch → Claude Code running inside a repo with MCP tools. Three failed attempts before the event pipeline was stable. Custom cursor tracking, lease coalescing, retry handling. It worked, but it was fragile infrastructure solving what should be a simple problem: read email, decide what to do, draft a reply.

So I rebuilt it on the MCPBundles agent system. The entire pipeline collapsed into two markdown files and a scheduled runner.
