What was the Apps Hackathon?
From July 22 to 29, 2026, participants had one week to build an app with Archestra. Entries could solve a practical workflow, present data in a useful way, or explore an experimental idea. The event was online, open worldwide, and offered $2,250 in prizes.
The challenge
Turn a workflow into an app
Participants selected a workflow or app idea and described what they wanted to build in chat.
The build
Connected through MCP
Archestra generated the interface and connected it to tools and data through MCP servers.
The result
A public gallery of apps
Eligible entries include the finished app, build recording, prompts, and connected MCP servers.
How it worked
Building apps with Archestra
Participants described a workflow, dashboard, or experiment in chat. Archestra generated the interface, while MCP servers connected it to tools such as GitHub, Slack, and internal data. No separate deployment or login flow was required for the hackathon apps.
Example prompt
Build me an app that shows all open pull requests across our repos as a review queue, sorted by how long they’ve been waiting.
