MCP project brain — 30 tools, one namespace

ReadmeDB is a hosted Model Context Protocol server purpose-built for project brains: versioned markdown your agents maintain, plus distilled memories when a full file is overkill. Streamable HTTP — works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex CLI.

Why MCP for project memory

REST APIs need custom glue in every host. MCP is the open standard Anthropic and the ecosystem adopted — one config block, standard tools, OAuth for Claude.ai. ReadmeDB implements file ops, memory ops, and hybrid recall so agents stop reinventing context each session.

Starter workflow

1. get_namespace_summary — session orientation
2. bootstrap_namespace — seed project.md, decisions.md, tasks.md
3. hybrid_recall — find relevant files + memories
4. patch_file / append_to_file — update the brain
