### Description (declared)

# ArchonMCP: Governance Framework for AI-Assisted Development

**ArchonMCP** is a Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that deploys comprehensive governance frameworks for development projects. It provides tools to initialize and manage governance structures including rules, runbooks, and custom prompts designed to work seamlessly with AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, VS Code, and Claude.

## 🎯 Features

- **Automatic Stack Detection**: Scans your project to identify whether you're using a React-FastAPI-Postgres architecture or a generic tech stack
- **One-Command Governance Setup**: Deploys complete governance structure with a single tool invocation
- **Customizable Templates**: Stack-specific governance templates that scale from generic projects to complex full-stack applications
- **MCP-Compatible**: Runs over stdio for compatibility with all MCP-enabled IDEs
- **Cross-Platform**: Uses `pathlib` for reliable cross-OS file operations

## 📋 What Gets Deployed
