Kindred

Alexa+ household copilot for families who do not share the same clock.

Kindred is a working Alexa+ experience for the Build, Ship, Shape: Amazon Developer Hackathon. It is a self-hosted MCP server on Streamable HTTP, spec 2025-11-25, plus a living-room Show simulator that is a real MCP client — it sends initialize, tools/list, and tools/call. That is the simulated Alexa+ path Amazon documents for this hackathon.

Why it exists

Ama is a nurse on nights. Jean works from the kitchen table. Maya and Eli are on school time. When Ama is asleep at noon, the house is still loud: doorbell, TV, lunch, pickup logistics. Group chats do not hold a doorbell. Calendars do not tell a twelve-year-old to keep the hallway quiet.

Kindred puts one now on the living-room display:

  • Quiet hours that hold the door and send nudges to phones, not the speaker

  • School run, meals, and chores on the same surface

  • A wake briefing for the person who just got home — dinner, open work, and whether they still overlap with the kids

Demo script (under 3 minutes)

  1. Open /device. The Show initializes MCP and briefs the house.

  2. “Quiet hours until 3pm, Ama is sleeping after night shift.”

  3. “Nudge Jean to pick up Eli.” Watch it go to the phone because quiet hours are on.

  4. “Plan dinner spaghetti.”

  5. “Assign dishes to Maya.”

  6. “Brief Ama for when she wakes.”

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
