@yoyo-bot/mcp

The MCP server for YoYo — the universal binder registry for AI agents.

A binder is a complete recipe for an AI agent. Instructions, code, config, infrastructure, and examples — everything an agent needs to execute a task autonomously. The agent is the chef. The binder is the recipe.

Install

Add to your MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yoyo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@yoyo-bot/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "YOYO_API_KEY": "yoyo_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API key at yoyo.bot/settings.

Example: Search and Install a Binder

Your agent can do this autonomously:

Agent: I'll search for a debugging methodology binder.

→ binder_search({ query: "debugging" })
← Found: "systematic-debugging" — Hypothesis-driven debugging with binary search isolation

→ binder_install({ slug: "systematic-debugging" })
← Returns: Full instructions, workflows, anti-patterns, verification steps

Agent: I'll now follow the systematic debugging workflow to fix your issue.
  Step 1: Reproduce the bug...
  Step 2: Generate hypotheses...
  Step 3: Binary search isolation...

What's a Binder?

A binder is more than a prompt or a skill file. It's the complete recipe:

| Component | Directory | Purpose | |-----------|-----------|---------| | Instructions | binder.md | The operating manual — architecture, workflows, conventions | | Source Code | src/ | Runnable scripts, modules, and entry points | | Skills | skills/ | Heuristic instruction files that guide agent behaviour | | Configuration | config/ | Parameters, env templates, schemas | | Infrastructure | infrastructure/ | Dockerfiles, DAGs, Terraform, DB migrations | | Examples | examples/ | Worked demonstrations with expected output |

Browse all binders at yoyo.bot/binders.

Featured Binders

| Binder | Files | What It Does | |--------|-------|--------------| | Personal Knowledge Wiki | 8 | Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern — agent maintains an interlinked knowledge base | | Knowledge Base RAG | 21 | Full RAG pipeline — ingest articles, tweets, videos, PDFs; query with citations | | Persistent Memory Engine | 30 | Graph-first memory with 6-phase pipeline and contradiction tracking | | Systematic Debugging | — | Hypothesis-driven debugging with binary search isolation | | Humanizer | 6 | Remove 28 AI writing patterns to make text indistinguishable from human | | Building Binders | 7 | The meta-binder — how to create your own binders |

Authentication

All tools require a YoYo API key. Get one for free:

1. Sign up at yoyo.bot (GitHub, X/Twitter, or email)
2. Go to Settings
3. Click "Generate API Key"
4. Add it to your MCP config as YOYO_API_KEY

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | YOYO_API_KEY | Yes | Your YoYo API key (starts with yoyo_) | | YOYO_API_URL | No | API base URL (default: https://api.yoyo.bot/v1) |

Organizations

Fork binders into your org's private repo — like GitHub organizations but for agent capabilities:

→ binder_fork({
    slug: "knowledge-base-rag",
    newSlug: "our-kb-pipeline",
    orgSlug: "my-team"
  })
← Forked to my-team/our-kb-pipeline

Create and manage organizations at yoyo.bot/orgs.
