SUMMON MCP

Objective-Driven Cognitive Architecture Engine

Say what you want to achieve. SUMMON figures out the right cognitive architecture — single expert, council of minds, or full autonomous organization — and builds it deployment-ready.

"I want to grow my SaaS to $10M ARR"
→ SUMMON classifies: business_growth → full_org
→ Researches SaaS scaling domain
→ Designs 6-agent org with 4 archetype diversity
→ Builds 11-layer superprompts with coupling verification
→ Outputs Paperclip-ready deployment package

"Summon an expert in regenerative agriculture"
→ SUMMON classifies: learning_mastery → single_expert
→ Researches the domain (5+ web searches)
→ Builds one deep Integrator-archetype expert
→ Outputs Claude.ai Project prompt + re-anchoring template

"I need a council to evaluate this acquisition"
→ SUMMON classifies: decision_support → council
→ Builds 4 experts with structurally different reasoning
→ Outputs debate protocol + conflict map + all superprompts

What This Is

An MCP server that encodes three cognitive architecture frameworks into a reusable tool pipeline:

• Digital Twin Superprompt Framework v5 — 11-layer cognitive architecture for reconstructing any mind

• Synthetic Expert Creation Framework v3 — domain-first expert construction with archetype coupling

• Cognitive Twin System Operations Manual v2 — anti-drift engineering, deployment, evaluation

The MCP server handles orchestration. The host LLM (Claude, etc.) handles all research and reasoning via its native web search. Zero API keys required.

Quick Start

Install via npx (Recommended)

No installation required — just configure your MCP client:

Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "summon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["summon-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. SUMMON tools will appear in your tool list.

Connect to Claude Code

claude mcp add summon -- npx summon-mcp

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/ZionHopkins/Summon-MCP.git
cd Summon-MCP
npm install
npm run build

Usage

Objective-First (SUMMON decides the shape)

"I want to build a competitive intelligence operation for the semiconductor industry"

"Help me build generational wealth"

"I need to master negotiation for my next funding round"

Direct Entry Points

"Summon an expert in biotech" — builds a single deep synthetic expert

"Summon Naval Ravikant" — builds a digital twin from research

"Build me an organization for content production" — builds a full Paperclip-deployable org

"I need a council to decide whether to pivot my product" — builds a 3-5 expert debate council

Upgrade Existing Agents

"Upgrade this agent to v5 architecture" — adds coupling, SCAN checkpoints, Chain of Persona

Architecture

How It Works

User states objective
        ↓
summon_discover → classifies objective → recommends architecture shape → asks smart questions
        ↓
summon_research → generates search queries → host LLM does web research → fills domain map
        ↓
summon_design → designs architecture (expert/council/org/hybrid) → DMAD verification
        ↓
summon_build_agents → returns 11-layer templates → host LLM builds superprompts → coupling validation
        ↓
summon_deploy_config → generates deployment package (Claude Project / Paperclip / both)

Key Design Decision: Thick Orchestration, Thin Cognition

The MCP server does not call external APIs. The host LLM does all research and reasoning. The server handles workflow sequencing, template assembly, validation, and config generation. This means:

• Zero API keys required

• Zero external dependencies

• Works with any MCP-compatible host LLM

• The user's Claude session handles all intelligence work

The 11-Layer Cognitive Architecture

Every full-depth agent built by SUMMON has:

1. Mental Models — how they process information

2. Core Beliefs — non-negotiable worldview (contrarian positions)

3. Decision Frameworks — rules governing choices

4. Communication Style — tone, phrases, delivery

5. Emotional Processing — what energizes/frustrates, how it affects output

6. Anti-Patterns — what they NEVER do (min 5 entries)

7. Belief Conflict Map — where they clash with mainstream

8. Domain Transfer — how to apply outside primary domain

9. Metacognition — how they monitor their own thinking

10. Uncertainty Management — how they handle unknowns

11. Response Protocol — step-by-step with Chain of Persona self-check

Plus SCAN checkpoints for anti-drift and inter-layer coupling ensuring every layer references 2+ others by name.

The Four Archetypes

Quality Guarantees

SUMMON enforces these rules in code:

• Every full-depth superprompt has all 11 layers in XML tags

• Every layer references 2+ other layers by specific name (coupling verification)

• SCAN checkpoints at position 2→3 and 4→5 boundaries

• Response Protocol includes Chain of Persona (3 named layer checks)

• Every multi-agent architecture has 2+ different archetype signatures (DMAD)

• Anti-Patterns minimum 5 entries per full-depth agent

• Paperclip budgets never set to 0 (runaway protection)

• Paperclip heartbeats never below 30 seconds

Deployment Targets

• Single experts & councils → Claude.ai Project system prompt (copy-paste ready)

• Full organizations → Paperclip deployment package (company config, agent configs, agents.md files, heartbeats, budgets, org chart, Claude Code build prompt)

• Hybrid → Both outputs

Development

npm install          # Install dependencies
npm run build        # Compile TypeScript
npm run dev          # Run with tsx (development)
npm start            # Run compiled version

Roadmap

• Community template library — share and import org architectures

• Automated quality scoring via LLM-as-judge

• Multi-orchestrator output (CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen configs)

• Fine-tuning integration for persistent high-fidelity twins

• Visual org chart rendering

• Optimization loop execution (autoresearch)
