agendum
Allows Codeium-powered IDEs (e.g., Windsurf) to maintain persistent project state and bounded work packages.
Allows GitHub Copilot (via VS Code) to maintain persistent project state and bounded work packages.
Click on "Install 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., "@agendumInitialize a new project for API rewrite"
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.
agendum
Project memory and scoping engine for AI coding agents.
AI coding agents are stateless — they forget between sessions, lose decisions, and have no way to scope complex work. agendum is an MCP server that gives any agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and others) persistent project state, bounded work packages, and cross-session continuity.
Without agendum | With agendum |
Agent forgets everything between sessions | Picks up exactly where it left off |
No scope — agent modifies random files | Bounded work packages with file lists, acceptance criteria, constraints |
Decisions lost — same mistakes repeated | Decisions and patterns persist in searchable memory |
No task ordering — agent picks randomly | Dependency graph with auto-unblocking and priority scoring |
Learning locked inside one project | Cross-project learnings carry patterns forward |
Quick Start
pip install agendum # or: uvx agendum
claude mcp add agendum -- uvx agendum --home serve # add to Claude Code
# Done. pm_* tools are now available in your agent.Works with any MCP client — see setup for Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and others.
How It Works

A["PLAN\nwrite plan file"] --> B["pm_ingest\nboard items + deps"]
B --> C["pm_next\nwork package + context"]
C --> D["EXECUTE\nagent implements"]
D --> E["pm_done\ndecisions + patterns"]
E -->|next task| C
E -->|new session| F["pm_status\nresume context"]
F --> CEach pm_done records decisions and patterns that enrich future pm_next calls — context compounds across sessions.
Example session:
You: I have a plan file for the API rewrite. Ingest it.
Agent:
→ pm_ingest(project="api-rewrite", plan_file="plan.md")
Ingested 4 board items from plan:
item-001: Schema design [high]
item-002: Resolver layer (depends on item-001)
item-003: Auth middleware (depends on item-001)
item-004: Integration tests (depends on item-002, item-003)
You: What should I work on?
Agent:
→ pm_next(project="api-rewrite")
Work package for item-001 "Schema design":
Context: project rules, memory from last session
Scope: Define GraphQL schema types
Acceptance criteria: Types for User, Product, Order
You: Done with the schema. Here's what I decided...
Agent:
→ pm_done(project="api-rewrite", item_id="item-001",
decisions="Using code-first with Strawberry",
patterns="N+1 queries need DataLoader",
verified=True)
Marked item-001 as done. Unblocked: item-002, item-003
> Next: pm_next("api-rewrite") to continue with newly unblocked tasks14 MCP Tools
Setup & Orientation
Tool | Purpose |
| Initialize board directory (optional — auto-initializes on first use) |
| Create, list, or get projects |
| Dashboard — item counts, recent progress, memory health, suggested next task |
Planning & Backlog
Tool | Purpose |
| Add an item with type, priority, tags, dependencies, acceptance criteria |
| View and filter the project board |
| Import a Markdown plan file into bounded board items with dependencies |
Execution Loop
Tool | Purpose |
| Get the next scoped work package with complexity signal and enriched context |
| Complete an item — record decisions, patterns, learnings; auto-extract from git; auto-unblock dependents |
| Report a task as blocked with reason |
Knowledge & Search
Tool | Purpose |
| Read, write, append, or search project memory (decisions, patterns, project knowledge) |
| Record global or project-scoped learnings with tags and topic entities |
| Hybrid search across all knowledge — memory, learnings, completed items |
| Clean memory corruption, deduplicate learnings, detect contradictions |
| Soft-invalidate a learning — excluded from all future searches |
Hybrid Search
pm_search combines three signals to find relevant knowledge across memory, learnings, and completed board items:
FTS5 with Porter stemming —
authmatchesauthentication,configmatchesconfiguration. Always on, zero config.Vector search (optional) — Install
agendum[vectors]to add semantic similarity viafastembed+sqlite-vec. Activates automatically alongside FTS5.Entity graph — Topics and tags form a knowledge graph. Entries sharing 2+ entities are linked automatically. Graph expansion surfaces related knowledge that keyword search misses.
All three signals are fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), then reranked by recency and access frequency. The index rebuilds from Markdown files — no data loss if it gets corrupted.
Key Capabilities
Adaptive context budget — enrichment scales with task complexity: 4K chars for trivial tasks, up to 10K for large ones
Verification gate —
pm_done(verified=True)distinguishes tested from untested completionsGit auto-extract —
pm_donereadsgit diffandgit logautomatically when no files are specifiedPluggable enrichment pipeline — four context sources injected into every work package: project rules (CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md), memory, dependency context, learnings
Dependency resolution — topological ordering with cycle detection; dependents unblock automatically when upstream tasks complete
Memory health —
pm_statuswarns about corrupted entries;pm_consolidatestrips XML fragments, deduplicates, and flags contradictionsZero config — auto-initializes on first tool call, derives board name from git remote
Git-native storage — all state is human-readable Markdown + YAML in
.agendum/, diffable and committable
Installation
All MCP clients except VS Code use the same config. Add to the appropriate file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agendum": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["agendum", "--home", "serve"]
}
}
}Client | Config location |
Claude Code | Run: |
Cursor |
|
Windsurf |
|
Cline | Settings › MCP Servers › Edit |
Roo Code | MCP settings file |
Claude Desktop |
|
VS Code (GitHub Copilot): Uses
"servers"instead of"mcpServers". Add to.vscode/mcp.json:{ "servers": { "agendum": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["agendum", "--home", "serve"] } } }
CLI (standalone)
pip install agendum
agendum project create my-app # Create a project
agendum status # Dashboard overview
agendum next my-app # Suggest next taskStorage Layout
All state lives in ~/.agendum/ (or .agendum/ in your project if you prefer local storage):
