# Project Status

Inspect project readiness, dependencies, and supporting evidence through MCP. Use it to review a repository without starting work or running checks.

## What it does

Project Status gives an agent read-only access to project readiness, dependency details, and task evidence. It can also expose a bounded view of local activity. The server reads existing information; it does not launch work or verification.

Connect it through MCP in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, or Gemini CLI. For Claude Code, run `claude mcp add project-status -- npx -y @openly-useful/project-status-mcp`. Activity depends on host events, so without those events the activity state remains unknown.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```bash
claude mcp add project-status -- npx -y @openly-useful/project-status-mcp
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI**

File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "project-status": {

            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@openly-useful/project-status-mcp"

}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add project-status npx -y @openly-useful/project-status-mcp
```

## When to use it
- review project readiness against available evidence
- inspect a repository’s dependencies
- find evidence recorded for completed tasks
- check local activity without starting new work

## Example prompts
- Review this project's readiness using the available evidence.
- Show me the repository dependencies and task evidence.
- Check which local activity details are available.
