What is PAPI?
PAPI is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants structured project memory—plans, builds, reviews, decisions—that persists across sessions, tools, and teammates. It is designed for developers and teams who want to keep AI coding tools aware of the project’s current cycle, status, and next steps.
How to use PAPI?
Connect PAPI to your AI tool as an MCP server. The fastest path is Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http papi https://mcp.getpapi.ai/mcp. A browser tab opens for sign‑in, then you can run the setup tool to scaffold the project and orient to discover the current cycle. For other tools (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex), see docs/install.md.
Key features of PAPI
- Plan, build, review, and release cycles that persist across sessions.
- Strategy reviews every few cycles to check direction.
- Dashboard at getpapi.ai showing cycles, board, and decisions.
- Memory that compounds—assistant starts every session knowing the project state.
- Methodology embedded in the product: plan, build, review, release loop.
Use cases of PAPI
- Give an AI assistant persistent project context so it never starts from zero.
- Track what was built, what surprised you, and what was discovered in each cycle.
- Close the loop between cycles so every plan feeds the next.
- Maintain a shared project memory across multiple AI tools and teammates.
