Agent Coherence - Stale Write Guard (FS) MCP Server

agent-coherence stops one agent from silently clobbering another's work on a shared plan.md, store key, or memory.json - a vendor-neutral MESI + optimistic-concurrency coordinator for agent state on a single host, with the safety invariants machine-checked in TLA+. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with state synchronization, token efficiency and agent memory and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Agent Coherence - Stale Write Guard (FS)

before you install - you'll need

SWG_ROOT is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add cohexa-ai-agent-coherence -- uvx agent-coherence

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cohexa-ai-agent-coherence": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "agent-coherence"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

pypi package agent-coherence - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.Cohexa-ai is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
