Developer MCP Server tools

Starts a new development session and provides information about recent sessions, active projects, high-priority tasks, and upcoming milestones.

Loads detailed context for an entity (project, component, feature, task, etc.) and tracks this context loading as part of the current session.

Performs a structured analysis of the development session through multiple stages (summary, achievements, task updates, new tasks, project status) and records this information in the persistent knowledge graph.

Creates new entities, relations, or observations in the knowledge graph.

Removes entities, relations, or observations from the knowledge graph.

Retrieves information from the knowledge graph with different query types (graph, search, nodes, related, decisions, milestone).
