Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Maverick MCP analyze my interaction style and adapt your responses"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Every Goose needs its Maverick.
A behavioral intelligence MCP server that makes AI agents adapt to who they're working with — not just what they're asked to do.
Built for Goose (now under the Agentic AI Foundation). Works with any MCP-compatible agent.
Maverick observes how you interact with your AI agent and adapts the agent's behavior to match your style:
Fast movers get short, decisive responses with maximum autonomy
Methodical thinkers get thorough explanations with verification checkpoints
Team players get collaborative framing with alignment checks
Detail-oriented builders get precise, evidence-backed responses with process gates
Same model underneath. Different teammate on top.

└───────────────┘First use: Quick 2-minute behavioral assessment (10 questions) or skip and let Maverick infer from your interactions
Profile detection: Maps you to one of 17 behavioral profiles based on four drives: Dominance, Extraversion, Patience, Formality
Adaptation: Injects behavioral context into the agent's system prompt — adjusting tone, pacing, autonomy level, and decision style
Learning: Refines your profile over time based on what you accept, reject, and how you interact

Tool | Description |
| Run the behavioral assessment (10 questions) |
| Get the current user's behavioral profile |
| Get adaptation instructions for the current context |
| Record user feedback to refine the profile |
Based on Predictive Index behavioral science, used by 10,000+ companies:
Profile | Style | Agent Adaptation |
Maverick | Fast, bold, breaks molds | Short responses, max autonomy, ship dates |
Captain | Commanding, decisive | Executive summaries, clear delegation |
Persuader | Energetic, narrative-driven | Compelling framing, stakeholder angles |
Venturer | Independent, gut-driven | Minimal hand-holding, trust their direction |
Strategist | Analytical, big-picture | Systems thinking, long-range implications |
Controller | Structured, demanding | Precise specs, clear ownership |
Promoter | Social, fast-moving | High energy, visible progress |
Adapter | Balanced, flexible | Moderate everything, read the room |
Collaborator | Team-oriented, supportive | Alignment checks, inclusive language |
Individualist | Self-reliant, focused | Respect their process, don't over-explain |
Artisan | Craftsmanship, patient | Quality focus, tangible outcomes |
Guardian | Thorough, protective | Evidence first, risk assessment, checkpoints |
Specialist | Deep, precise | Domain depth, highest standards |
Analyzer | Methodical, data-driven | Show the data, verify claims |
Scholar | Knowledge-seeking, rigorous | Research backing, source verification |
Operator | Reliable, steady | Clear steps, predictable cadence |
Altruist | Warm, caring | Supportive tone, team-aware framing |
Your behavioral profile is stored locally on your machine — never sent to any server. Maverick runs entirely local. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent integration
Airlock behavioral intelligence platform
The four behavioral drives (DECF):
Dominance — Drive for control and influence over environment
Extraversion — Drive for social interaction and influence over people
Patience — Drive for consistency, stability, and deliberate pace
Formality — Drive for conformity, rules, and structure
Every person has a unique DECF signature. Every AI interaction should respect it.
We've validated this across 7,000+ conversations using ConstellationBench — a novel persona fidelity benchmark that measures whether AI agents maintain consistent behavioral adaptation.
The Maverick is the rarest behavioral profile — 2.5% of the population. Independent innovators who break every mold and bet on the future others can't see.
We named this project after them because that's what's missing from AI agents: the ability to recognize that not everyone thinks the same way, and to adapt accordingly.
