What's New
MCP Server Template (quickstart/mcp-server/)
A clean, project-agnostic template for the context-retrieval MCP server (Tier 3 infrastructure). Copy this directory into your project, replace the placeholder SUBSYSTEMS and AGENTS entries with your project's data, and the 7 tool implementations work as-is — they're fully generic.
Comprehensive MCP Setup Documentation
The quickstart README now includes a full Phase 2: MCP Server in the bootstrapping sequence, with prerequisites, installation steps, .mcp.json configuration, and guidance on when to set it up (active/mature projects) vs. skip it (greenfield).
Stronger MCP-First Enforcement in Constitution Factory
The constitution factory now generates constitutions with stronger "use MCP tools FIRST — faster than manual searching" enforcement language, matching the production case study. MCP infrastructure is framed as recommended (not optional) for active/mature projects. The scaffolding section references the new template directly.
Naming Consistency: context7 → context-retrieval
All 22 files updated from the internal context7 name to context-retrieval, aligning with the paper's terminology (arXiv:2602.20478).
Additional Fixes
mcp-server/README.mdnow recommends.mcp.json(project-scoped) over.claude/settings.json(user-scoped)- Configuration examples use the
context-retrieval-mcpscript entry point (installed via pip) instead ofpython -m - Factory agents use generic MCP server path references instead of hardcoded directory names
CITATION.cffupdated with version and release date
Upgrading from v1.0.0
If you previously copied the quickstart factories into a project:
- Copy the new
quickstart/mcp-server/directory into your project - Update your
constitution-factory/AGENT.mdandcontext-factory/AGENT.mdfrom this release - The MCP server template is independent — it doesn't require changes to existing constitutions or agents
