Aman

The MCP server for the aman ecosystem.

Exposes identity, tools, workflows, guardrails, and evaluation as MCP tools — so any AI agent can read and write your ecosystem programmatically.

amem (memory) runs as its own MCP server — see amem.

Tools

Identity (acore) — ~/.acore/core.md

Tools (akit) — ~/.akit/kit.md

Workflows (aflow) — ~/.aflow/flow.md

Guardrails (arules) — ~/.arules/rules.md

Evaluation (aeval) — ~/.aeval/eval.md

Projects (aprojects) — LRU work-thread tracker

Discrete arcs of work, LRU-positioned across 10 active slots, peer to intentions / eval / rules. Active project surfaces unconditionally in SessionStart.

Storage: ~/.aprojects/dev/plugin/projects.md (single file via MarkdownFileStorage; matches intentions pattern).

Tools:

• project_add — create at #1, shift others, evict at #11
• project_get — read one
• project_list — filter by status / inActiveList
• project_active — fast path: position #1
• project_load — fuzzy match, restore from off-list
• project_touch — bump in-list project to #1
• project_save — append timestamped session note
• project_close — transition to complete / paused / abandoned
• project_update — patch metadata; reciprocally updates intentions.linkedProjectId

Lifecycle vs LRU: orthogonal axes. status is lifecycle (active/paused/complete/abandoned). inActiveList is LRU membership. LRU eviction at #11 sets inActiveList=false but keeps status=active — the project is still alive, just not in the top 10.

Bidirectional link: Setting linkedIntentionId on a project also sets linkedProjectId on the intention (and vice versa). Closing one side does NOT close the other.

Override paths root: $AMAN_PROJECTS_HOME (used by tests).

File Locations

The server reads and writes the same files as the CLI tools:

Development

git clone https://github.com/amanasmuei/aman-mcp.git
cd aman-mcp
npm install
