HYTHE

A coordination bus + shared truth for your agent fleet. Self-hosted, two-component setup: a dockerized server plus a thin stdio bridge for your MCP clients.

HYTHE is an MCP server that lets multiple AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, custom harnesses — share state, preserve context across sessions, and coordinate with each other. It is not another memory store. Its differentiators:

  • Supersession + current-state resolution: observations supersede each other (replace-current), and get_current_observation resolves the chain server-side — so readers get the newest non-superseded state. Conflict handling is implemented: checkpoint is branch-preserving CAS — concurrent writers branch rather than overwrite, and conflicts surface as heads, never silently resolved (contract-tested; see the evidence ledger).

  • Agent messaging with a tracked delivery lifecycle: direct and capability-based sends, message supersession, read-state as a shared signal, atomic ack+archive. (Described as tracked lifecycle, not guaranteed delivery — the states are honest about what the server knows.)

  • The Adaptive Coordination Protocol (ACP): the ETA-driven coordination discipline that co-evolved with the server — published as docs/SPEC.md with a real two-harness worked tutorial.

Quickstart

Clean machine → two coordinating agents in ~15 minutes

Concepts

One current truth, messaging lifecycle, resume/checkpoint, honest security model

ACP SPEC

The coordination protocol, versioned (1.0.0)

Tutorial

Status

Published. @hythe/mcp@0.1.2 is the additive HYTHE distribution, with source at github.com/hythe-dev/hythe. New installs use npx -y @hythe/mcp. The predecessor @tomcat65/engram-mcp and io.github.tomcat65/engram remain available as compatibility history and point forward to HYTHE; they are never unpublished.

House rule: every claim in these docs must trace to a test or a measurement (see the evidence ledger below). Claims that don't are bugs.

Tree green, full gates

lock-verify (manifest-bound pin matched), clean npm ci, script-integrity, typecheck, build, tests (33 files, 408 passed | 2 skipped | 6 todo), schema-docs, final-tree smoke, docker build — all PASS, exit 0

Documented env boots the runtime

Final-tree smoke gate: server starts from .env.example variables with a generated key, authenticated MCP request succeeds, DB lands at the documented path, bridge round-trips on the same contract, compose ports are loopback-bound, and the untouched placeholder key fails startup

this repository, internal/final-tree-smoke.mjs

2026-07-16

resume/checkpoint + conflict handling implemented

ENG-4 P0 contract suite (120 executable tests: CAS branching, conflict heads, idempotent replay, budget coverage closedness, scope-bound handles)

tests/contract-eng4-p0.test.ts

2026-07-16

Install path works

CLI contract suite (9 tests: bin mapping, wizard key-gen + parseable configs, .env write-once, live demo round-trip verified server-side, bridge delegation)

tests/contract-cli.test.ts

2026-07-16

Closed-safe defaults

Placeholder key fails startup; compose ports loopback-bound; CORS grants no cross-origin access unless CORS_ORIGINS is set (tested)

internal/final-tree-smoke.mjs, tests/contract-cli.test.ts

Discovery is truthful

tools/list advertises the exact frozen schemas the handlers implement; retired legacy shapes are schema-rejected (regressions added after an adversarial review caught drift)

tests/contract-eng4-p0.test.ts

2026-07-16

Published + installable from the registry

npm publish succeeded under 2FA (auth-and-writes, security key); npm view @tomcat65/engram-mcp version → 0.1.0; clean-machine smoke: fresh npx cache, npx -y @tomcat65/engram-mcp --help and … init ran from the registry install

npm registry, post-publish smoke

v1 surface (short)

  • Install (two-component setup): server via docker compose up, then the @hythe/mcp stdio bridge per MCP client; first-run wizard generates the API key and prints ready-to-paste config for Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Claude Desktop; optional namespaced (demo-*) demo seed on an otherwise empty DB.

  • Knowledge graph: entities, observations, relations, supersession, current-state resolution, conflict surfacing.

  • Agent messaging: direct, capability-based, superseding; tracked delivery lifecycle.

  • resume / checkpoint: budgeted one-call session rehydration with closed coverage accounting, and CAS-protected, branch-preserving structured state capture.

  • ACP: the coordination protocol as a versioned spec + real worked example.
