  command: understudy explore mcp
  distribution: MIT-licensed source in understudy-agent-tools (installer script or npm run build from
    a clone)
  hosted: false
  notes: Local stdio MCP server for coding agents. Reads local Moraine ClickHouse session stores (read-only,
    capped) and the Understudy scan stores under ~/.understudy/explore/. Replaces Moraine's MCP with the
    same tool names/shapes plus two Understudy-native extras. Separately, MCP is an adapter onto the Understudy
    Desktop ConversationRuntime for agents that prefer tool calls over the CLI (same runtime and run_id
    as the desktop UI, REST API, and CLI). No hosted/remote MCP server is published as of 2026-07-21.
