Owlyn MCP v0.1.0-alpha.1

Owlyn MCP v0.1.0-alpha.1

Owlyn MCP is a local-first MCP work-session supervisor for AI agents.

Tagline:
Time-aware work sessions for AI agents.

Problem:
AI agents often stop too early. You ask an agent to work through a longer session, it completes the first task, then says "done."

Owlyn gives agents:

• persistent work-session clock
• deadlines
• checkpoints
• continuation decisions
• task ranking
• session reports

Included in this alpha:

• local stdio MCP server
• SQLite persistence
• Zod input validation
• timezone-aware deadline handling
• owlyn_start
• owlyn_status
• owlyn_checkpoint
• owlyn_should_continue
• owlyn_plan_next
• owlyn_end
• owlyn_list_sessions
• owlyn_report
• SDK MCP integration test
• manual MCP smoke script
• README, host setup docs, tool docs, agent instructions, release checklist

Validation:

• npm run typecheck passed
• npm run build passed
• npm test passed
• npm run smoke:mcp passed
• npm run check passed
• npm pack --dry-run passed
• Real-host validation passed in Codex MCP host on Windows.
• All 8 tools were visible.
• structuredContent worked.
• Full session flow passed:
  owlyn_start -> owlyn_checkpoint -> owlyn_should_continue -> owlyn_plan_next -> owlyn_end

Known limitations:

• Tested through the official MCP SDK stdio path.
• Other hosts still need validation.
• Owlyn does not keep an MCP host alive by itself.
• The host agent must call Owlyn tools and follow the returned policy.
• No cloud, no telemetry, no auth, no background worker in v0.1.
