**Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Citadel Predict pre-execution AI agent cost estimation.**

`citadel-predict-mcp` connects your hosted [Citadel Predict API](https://github.com/Athullvr/Citadel) directly into **Claude Desktop** and **Claude Code** via a local standard I/O (stdio) MCP server.

With this server configured, Claude can natively estimate token usage ranges ($low, expected, high$) and flag out-of-distribution risks for autonomous workflows **before running them**—without requiring manual CLI execution.

---

## Features

- ⚡ **Native Claude Tool Calling**: Claude automatically decides when to call `estimate_agent_cost` when planning or dispatching tasks.
- 🔒 **Zero Network Exposure**: Runs strictly as a local `stdio` subprocess spawned by Claude Desktop / Claude Code.
- 🎯 **Pre-Execution Guardrails**: Predicts token consumption bounds before multi-step tools or reasoning loops execute.
- 🛡️ **User-Friendly Error Handling**: Catches authentication, rate-limiting, and validation issues, presenting clear, actionable suggestions to Claude rather than raw stack traces.

---

## Installation

Install the package via `pip`:

```bash
pip install citadel-predict-mcp
```

*(For local development from the repository root: `pip install -e packages/citadel-predict-mcp`)*

Verifying installation:
```bash
citadel-predict-mcp --help
```

---

## Quickstart: One-Command Auto-Configuration (Recommended)

To automatically configure **both** Claude Desktop and Claude Code on Windows, macOS, or Linux with zero manual JSON editing:

```bash
# Run from repository root with your active Python environment:
python scripts/configure_mcp.py

# Or pass parameters non-interactively:
python scripts/configure_mcp.py -…
