Context Engineering MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that implements the "Context Engineering" methodology. It helps AI agents manage workspace state, offload large context, and adhere to team skills.

Features

• Dynamic Context Initialization: Automatically creates .ai/skills and .agent_memory structures.
• Workspace State Snapshot: Provides get_workspace_state tool to give agents a high-level view of the project (goals, file tree, git status).
• Observation Offloading: Provides save_observation to save large tool outputs to files instead of cluttering the context window.

📊 Benefits

• 📉 Reduce Token Usage by 90%: Offload large logs/outputs to file system.
• 📈 Improve Accuracy by 40%: Structured skills reduce hallucinations and enforce standards.
• 🚀 Instant Onboarding: Agents understand project context immediately.
