Temporal Reasoning Sleuth — CLI + MCP

A self-contained command-line tool and MCP server for the Loreto skill temporal-reasoning-sleuth. It spins up a local SQLite event store and lets you trace causal chains and reason over event timelines — the read/query path for temporal reasoning.

Install

npx @loreto-labs/skill-temporal install   # copies the skill into ~/.claude/skills + adds /temporal

Use the CLI

loreto-temporal init                                 # spin up the local SQLite DB
loreto-temporal seed                                 # load a demo dataset (optional)

loreto-temporal trace --event evt_mobile_update      # what LED TO an event (causal chain)
loreto-temporal downstream --event evt_auth_breach   # what an event CAUSED (forward)
loreto-temporal sequence --entity auth-service       # events in order for an entity
loreto-temporal timeline --as-of 2024-05-25          # windowed context synthesis

loreto-temporal add-event --id d1 --title "..." --at 2024-03-15 --kind decision
loreto-temporal link --from e1 --to d1 --rel CAUSED --rationale "..."
loreto-temporal --help

The database lives at ~/.loreto/temporal-reasoning-sleuth/temporal.db (override with --db or the LORETO_TEMPORAL_DB env var).

Use as an MCP server

Add to your MCP client config (every CLI command is also a namespaced MCP tool):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "temporal": { "command": "loreto-temporal-mcp" }
  }
}
