Devfluo

A sophisticated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive development workflow management with a multi-level knowledge base system. This server enables AI assistants to manage project initiatives, track decisions, maintain code patterns, and provide structured development guidance through persistent knowledge storage.

Purpose

Devfluo is designed to maintain consistency and continuity across development sessions by providing:

• Multi-level Memory System: Persistent storage of project knowledge, decisions, patterns, and solutions
• Initiative Management: Structured approach to managing development projects with tasks, specifications, and progress tracking
• Knowledge Base: Centralized repository for architecture documentation, codebase understanding, and development patterns
• AI-Driven Prompts (commands): Specialized prompts for different phases of development workflow
• Structured Development: Enforces consistent practices through schemas and validation

Architecture

The server implements a comprehensive knowledge management system with several key components:

Knowledge Layers

• Base Knowledge: Core project architecture and codebase documentation
• Initiatives: Individual development projects with specifications, tasks, and progress tracking
• Decisions: Architecture and design decisions with rationale and context
• Patterns: Reusable code patterns and best practices
• Solutions: Problem-solution pairs for common development challenges
• Backlog: Prioritized list of future development items

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥22.0.0
• npm or equivalent package manager

Installation

Global Installation (Recommended)

npm install -g devfluo

Using npx (No Installation Required)

npx devfluo

Local Development Setup

For contributing or local development:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/devfluo.git
cd devfluo
npm install
npm run build
npm run start

Usage

For detailed usage instructions, MCP client integration, workflow examples, and configuration details, see the Workflow Guide.

Quick Start

1. Install the package globally:

   npm install -g devfluo

2. Configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Continue, etc.) to use this server:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "devfluo": {
         "command": "devfluo",
         "env": {
           "PROJECT_ROOT": "/path/to/your/project/knowledge-base"
         }
       }
     }
   }

3. Initialize your project using the project_init tool in your MCP client

4. Start managing your development workflow with initiatives, tasks, and knowledge tracking
