About
Exposes a .mind/ folder to MCP agents, enabling reading files, searching memory, proposing changes, and listing directory contents.
README
An MCP server that exposes a .mind/ folder to any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, custom).
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
mind_read |
Read a file inside .mind/ by relative path. |
mind_route |
Return the routing table from INDEX.md for the current intent. |
mind_recall |
Search memory/context for a query (basic substring; embeddings optional). |
mind_propose_write |
Create a .mind/diff/*.md proposing a change to a target file. |
mind_list |
List files under a subdirectory of .mind/. |
Install
npm i -g @modelbound/mind-mcp
Run
mind-mcp --root /path/to/project
Or add to your Claude Desktop / MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mind": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelbound/mind-mcp", "--root", "."]
}
}
}
Security
The server refuses any path that escapes the --root directory. Writes only ever create files under .mind/diff/ — the accept/reject step is left to the human or a trusted CI step.
