### Description (declared)

# FOO MCP

`foo-mcp` exposes FOO-style multiagent orchestration as a Model Context Protocol
server. Peer agents critique each other, harmonizer agents organize the
critiques, and the target agent revises based on the consensus — every step
written to a hash-chained, JSONL trace ledger so the full reasoning history is
reproducible and auditable. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Hugging
Face, and Apple Silicon MLX local inference behind a single config schema.

## Quick start

```bash
# 1. Install
pip install foo-mcp                # or: uvx foo-mcp

# 2. Export the API keys for the providers you want to use
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

# 3. Pick at least two providers + models interactively
foo-mcp-init                       # writes ~/.config/foo-mcp/agents.json
export FOO_MCP_CONFIG=~/.config/foo-mcp/agents.json

# 4. Smoke-test the full multi-agent pipeline against real LLMs
foo-mcp-consensus-demo --question "What is the half-life of caffeine?"
```

The server requires at least two usable non-mock agents at startup; without
them it exits with a clear error pointing back at `foo-mcp-init`. See
[Startup quorum](#startup-quorum) for the override.

## Install in 60 seconds

### Option A — Add to Claude Code via PyPI (recommended)

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio foo-mcp \
  --env OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
  --env ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY \
  --env GEMINI_API_KEY=$GEMINI_API_KEY \
  --env HF_TOKEN=$HF_TOKEN \
  --env FOO_MCP_CONFIG=$HOME/.config/foo-mcp/agents.json \
  -- uvx foo-mcp
```

Pass keys as bare values — `KEY=sk-abc123`, not `KEY="sk-abc123"`. Wrapping
quote characters are passed through to provider SDKs and cause silent 401s.
Only pass `--env` lines for the providers whose keys you actually have.
Use `--scope local` instead of `--scope user` to limit registration to the
current project.

### Option B — Add to Claude Code via Git (track main directly)
