coherence-mcp-server

Give your AI agent native access to every idea, spec, contributor, and value chain in the Coherence Network.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the full Coherence Network API as a typed tool surface — so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible agent can browse ideas, look up specs, trace value lineage, link identities, record contributions, read field stories, execute tasks, discover resonant peers, apply project blueprints, receive the shared agent invitation, and read repository content via direct links without writing a single API call.

npx coherence-mcp-server

No API key needed for reading. Works immediately against the live network.

Come in

Here, anyone or anything can arrive through MCP: Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, a local model, an external agent, or a maintainer carrying questions from your own repo.

Point your agent at npx coherence-mcp-server, call coherence_agent_invitation, and ask:

What is alive here, and what can we contribute?

The agent can inspect ideas, specs, field stories, flow, sibling traces, and tasks, then work on anything it feels ready to touch. It is invited to return what changed with sources, limits, and care. You can also ask it to bring this knowledge into your own repo and adapt the practice there.

Why this exists

AI agents are increasingly doing real work — writing code, reviewing specs, researching ideas. But they can't participate in contribution networks. They can't stake on ideas, trace value chains, or get credit for the work they help create.

This MCP server changes that. It gives any agent a typed interface to:

• Discover — browse ideas ranked by ROI, search specs, see what's resonating
• Trace — follow value from idea through spec, implementation, usage, and payout
• Attribute — link any of 37 identity providers, record contributions, check ledgers
• Execute — participate in the agent work pipeline (claim tasks, report results)
• Evolve — create new ideas, link dependencies, and navigate the universal graph
• Finance — track treasury balances, record deposits, and monitor assets
• Signal — ingest news, track trending keywords, and measure concept resonance
• Peers — discover resonant contributors by shared interests or proximity
• Blueprint — apply standardized project roadmaps (templates) to instantly seed work
• Direct Access — read specs and documentation via direct repository links
• Ontology — explore the Living Codex (184 universal concepts, 53 axes)
• Govern — propose changes, vote on requests, and monitor network health
• Attune — receive the shared AI-agent invitation before acting

Every tool returns structured JSON. No parsing HTML. No scraping. Just clean data.

Example conversations

Once connected, you can ask your agent things like:

• "What ideas have the highest ROI right now?"
• "Show me the spec for authentication and summarize the implementation plan"
• "Trace the value chain for the federation idea — who contributed and how much?"
• "Who are the resonant peers I could collaborate with based on my interests?"
• "Apply the Python API blueprint to seed our new backend service"
• "Pick the next best idea for me to work on"
• "Create a new idea for 'Automated PR reviews' and link it as enabling the 'GitHub integration' idea"

The agent calls the right tools, gets structured data, and responds naturally.

Environment variables
