### Description (declared)

# acp-mcp

Python package manager and MCP server for [Agent Context Protocol (ACP)](https://github.com/prmichaelsen/agent-context-protocol) projects.

## What this provides

**Substrate operations** for ACP projects, available as both CLI commands and MCP tools:

- **Project bootstrap**: `acp init` — scaffold a new ACP project from agent-context-protocol's latest templates
- **Version management**: check and refresh a project's ACP methodology version against agent-context-protocol mainline
- **Package management**: list, install, update, remove ACP packages from git repositories
- **Discovery**: enumerate available commands, patterns, designs, and specs across global (`~/.acp/agent/`) and project (`./agent/`) contexts

## What this does NOT provide

Workflow commands like `@acp.proceed`, `@acp.status`, `@acp.task-create`, etc. remain as **markdown directives** in `agent/commands/`. Agents read those files directly — they are intentionally not exposed as CLI or MCP tools. acp-mcp is the substrate; the workflow is the markdown.

## Installation

```bash
uv tool install agent-context-mcp
```

This registers:
- CLI command: `acp`
- MCP server: `agent-context-mcp` (auto-discovered by Claude Code and compatible MCP clients)

**Requirements**: `git` must be installed and on PATH (required by `acp init` and `acp version update`).

## Usage

### CLI

```bash
# Bootstrap a new ACP project in the current directory
# Fetches latest templates from agent-context-protocol (GitHub)
acp init .

# Show the project's ACP methodology version
acp version show

# Check if project is behind agent-context-protocol mainline
acp version check

# Refresh the project's ACP templates from agent-context-protocol mainline
# (Only updates templates; your design docs, tasks, milestones are preserved)
acp version update

# Search the ACP package registry
acp package search acp

# Install an ACP package
acp package install https://github.com/user/acp-firebase.git

# List installed packages
acp pack…
