STARLOG MCP
STARLOG (Session, Task, and Activity Record LOG) is a comprehensive documentation workflow system designed for Claude Code integration via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Overview
STARLOG provides three integrated documentation types:
- RULES: Project guidelines with brain-agent enforcement
- DEBUG_DIARY: Real-time development tracking with GitHub issue integration
- STARLOG: Session history with START/END markers for context continuity
Features
🏗️ Project Initialization
- Automated project setup with registry creation
- Integrated starlog.hpi file generation
- Context-aware project configuration
📏 Rules System
- Hierarchical rule management with categories and priorities
- Brain-agent enforcement integration
- Dynamic rule validation and compliance checking
📓 Debug Diary
- Real-time development issue tracking
- Direct GitHub Issues API integration
- Automatic bug report and fix workflow
📋 Session Management
- Comprehensive session START/END tracking
- Goal-oriented work sessions with outcomes
- Historical context preservation
🧭 HPI (Human-Programming Interface) System
- Automatic context assembly from latest session + debug diary
- Project orientation for seamless context switching
- Documentation-driven development workflow
Installation
[Installation instructions pending PyPI publication]
Quick Start
Initialize a STARLOG Project
from starlog_mcp import Starlog
starlog = Starlog()
result = starlog.init_project("my_project", "My Project Name")
print(result)
Add Project Rules
result = starlog.add_rule("Always write tests", "my_project", "testing")
print(result)
Start a Development Session
session_data = {
"session_title": "Feature Implementation",
"start_content": "Implementing user authentication",
"context_from_docs": "Based on security requirements doc",
"session_goals": ["Add login", "Add logout", "Add password reset"]
}
result = starlog.start_starlog(session_data, "my_project")
print(result)
Get Project Context
context = starlog.orient("my_project")
print(context) # Complete project context for AI assistance
MCP Server Usage
STARLOG includes a built-in MCP server for Claude Code integration:
starlog-server
Environment Variables
HEAVEN_DATA_DIR: Directory for STARLOG data storage (default:/tmp/heaven_data)OPENAI_API_KEY: Required for brain-agent rule enforcement
MCP Configuration
Add to your Claude Code configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"starlog": {
"command": "starlog-server",
"env": {
"HEAVEN_DATA_DIR": "/path/to/your/data",
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-key"
}
}
}
}

Development Installation
pip install -e .[dev]
Architecture
STARLOG uses the HEAVEN framework's registry system for persistent storage and provides a clean FastMCP-based server implementation for seamless Claude Code integration.
Registry Pattern
Data is stored in isolated registries per project:
{project_name}_rules- Project rules with enforcement metadata{project_name}_debug_diary- Development tracking entries{project_name}_starlog- Session history with goals and outcomes
