Bring your own agent

Give any MCP-capable agent the team’s current, permission-aware context.

Any agent that speaks MCP — inside Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, or one you build yourself — can use Jackdaw as its operating context. It reads the relevant current state at the start of a run and proposes durable learning back to the team.

Connect over MCP

Point your agent at Jackdaw's MCP server and it gains two capabilities:

  • Read — call get_context to ground itself in the current projects, decisions, evidence, and constraints before doing anything.
  • Propose — call remember to stage a structured fact, or propose_action for a supported action. Inferred changes follow Jackdaw’s review rules. An agent cannot generate or edit the Wiki’s prose.

Setup and the full tool list are in Connect via MCP.

In Claude Code

Claude Code can also pull your context into every prompt through Jackdaw's hook — see Claude Code Hook.

A worked example

Long-running agents that stay on course walks through backing a multi-day agent with Jackdaw so it resumes exactly where it left off, without drift.
