Adrkit Decision Memory MCP Server
Decision memory for human- and agent-authored plans - architecture decision records that are machine-readable, enforceable in CI, and legible to agents, without leaving git. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with adr, architecture and backstage and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

npm package @adrkit/mcp - the @adrkit scope differs from the repo owner (mbeacom); confirm it's the project's official package
registry vendor namespace dev.adrkit - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
