Benjamin Warner — Whitby, Ontario, Canada

Building the infrastructure that connects language models to practical tools.

I'm the founder of Axis MCP, a Model Context Protocol platform providing hosted tool servers for LLM applications, and the author of Orbit, an open-source research project on scaffolding small local language models as coding agents.

Projects & Research

Founder & Lead Engineer 2025 — Present

Axis MCP

A commercial MCP platform providing hosted AI tool servers to LLM-powered applications — authentication, metered billing, and dynamic routing at production scale. Launching June 2026.

  • Cloudflare Worker gateway validating Bearer tokens against Supabase, enforcing free-tier rate limits, and dynamically routing to Python MCP spokes — globally distributed, zero cold-start.
  • Full metered billing: Stripe meter events, Supabase usage logging, a Cron Worker for reconciliation, and a race-condition-free SQL RPC (FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED) eliminating double-billing.
  • Next.js 14 storefront & dashboard with Stripe Checkout, API-key management, and live usage metrics.
  • FastAPI + FastMCP spokes operated across Coolify (Raspberry Pi) and Railway: stock news, GO Transit, financial data, web scraping.

Orbit

Open-source research: how far can scaffolding alone push 1–8B local LLMs as practical coding agents?

  • Two-phase agent loop splitting JSON tool-calls from natural-language responses — sidestepping the reasoning-while-formatting failures endemic to sub-8B models.
  • 4-strategy malformed-JSON parser; BM25 + subword-tokenized codebase search with CamelCase / snake_case decomposition.
  • Design grounded in ~30 surveyed arXiv papers — iterative RAG (+12–13 EM at 350M–6B), grammar-constrained decoding (≈100% schema compliance), and the limits of zero-shot CoT at small scale.
  • 100-task delta-scoring harness (scaffolded − naked pass@1) with McNemar significance testing, built for publishable results.

AxisCLI

An open-source TypeScript CLI for managing local MCP server registries.

ohno

A flight recorder for your codebase — automatic snapshots of uncommitted work, with instant undo when an AI agent (or you) breaks something.

  • Continuously snapshots the working directory into a shadow git repository, fully isolated from the project's own repo.
  • Undo is itself undoable — ohno undo snapshots the current state first, and ohno redo reverses it.
  • Hooks into Claude Code to snapshot before every file edit and shell command.
  • Zero npm dependencies — ~600 lines of plain JavaScript over git plumbing, published to npm with CI.
