Not Your Typical Hackathon
What Makes This Different
This hackathon filters for builders who ship working systems, not slide decks.
Deployment Required
Every submission must be deployed and running. No local demos and no mockups.

4 Steps
How It Works
Four steps from registration to submission. Clarity over decoration.
Register
Complete the registration form and lock your participation in the 48-hour build sprint. Get SDK access and hackathon resources.
Scaffold / Connect
Create your MCP server with NitroStack SDK and connect real external integrations. Initialize project and connect APIs.
Deploy
Deploy to NitroCloud so judges can validate live behavior. Production URL required. Validate end-to-end flow.
Submit
Share your public repository and deployed endpoint before the submission deadline. Public GitHub repo and live deployment.
Project Examples
What Others Have Built
Real projects from our internal hackathon. Each one deployed, validated, and running in production.
The world's first self-evolving MCP server. It doesn't just report data, it writes its own capabilities at runtime to bridge reporting gaps as they happen.
Forget policy hunting. InsureMate orchestrates the entire insurance lifecycle, from risk scoring to final booking, in a single high-stakes AI conversation.
Stop supply chain breaches before they happen. Predict risk across 4 critical systems and run 'what-if' simulations using a single production-ready tool call.
Total financial control, unified. A context-aware AI engine that merges credit analysis, loan optimization, and investment planning into one seamless, high-speed workflow.
Cold outbound, fully automated. From lead sourcing to campaign launch, collapse hours of outbound ops into 13 AI tools that ship personalized messages at scale.
Workforce intelligence, orchestrated. One staffing request triggers skill matching, availability scoring, and guarded allocation across 9 MongoDB collections, no manual handoffs.
Ship or don't ship, decided by policy, not gut. Converts vulnerability scan noise into a binary ship verdict, exact fix commands, and a stakeholder-ready PDF in one flow.
46 tools covering the full loan lifecycle. From customer onboarding to EMI collections and pre-closure, with 6 business rule gates enforced at every critical step.
