An MCP server on top of [ICO](https://github.com/apriori3d/ico) with which
an agent builds data pipelines from its own operators. The agent writes
operators, small typed Python functions, and composes them into pipelines
as JSON specs; the server checks, runs and profiles them. Operators that
proved themselves in runs become the domain's stable code through a pull
request a human reviews, and the next task starts from them instead of a
blank script.

- **Work accumulates.** Each task adds operators and pipelines to the
  domain's library instead of one-off scripts.
- **Errors before the run.** Types are checked at every link before
  anything runs, so a broken pipeline does not burn GPU time.
- **Fewer tokens.** The agent finds operators as compact cards by input and
  output type instead of reading code, runs saved pipelines by name, and
  gets data back as paths; long runs go on in the background.
- **Visible runs.** The Live Board shows the plan and the progress of every
  node, the profiler where time and memory go, `sample_run` what flows out
  of a node; a run can be cancelled between items.
- **Local or GPU.** The same pipeline runs here or on a RunPod GPU: the job
  carries the operators' code, model weights are pinned assets.
