## What is evolve-mcp?

evolve-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables autonomous self-improvement for AI agents. It works with **Claude Code**, **Goose**, **ChatGPT**, and any MCP-compatible client.

Agents evolve by:
- Mutating and optimizing prompts using genetic algorithms
- Evaluating fitness through configurable metrics
- Validating safety before deployment
- Tracking performance over time

Inspired by Darwin Gödel Machine and AlphaEvolve, it focuses on openness, modularity, and user control with a local-first design.

## Features

- **21 MCP Tools** for complete evolution control
- **5 Mutation Strategies**: paraphrase, instruction_add, context_expand, cot_injection, tone_shift
- **Pluggable Fitness Functions** with weighted scoring
- **Safety Validation** with injection detection
- **Metrics Collection** with anomaly detection
- **Works with any MCP client**

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/privkeyio/evolve-mcp.git
cd evolve-mcp
uv sync --all-extras
```

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add evolve-mcp -- python -m mcp_server.server
```

### Goose

```yaml
# ~/.config/goose/config.yaml
extensions:
  - name: evolve-mcp
    type: mcp
    command: python -m mcp_server.server
```

## Usage Examples

### Start an Evolution Cycle

```python
# Use the start_evolution tool
{
  "trigger_type": "manual",
  "config_overrides": {
    "population_size": 50,
    "max_generations": 10
  }
}
```

### Mutate a Prompt

```python
# Use the mutate_prompt tool
{
  "prompt": "You are a helpful assistant",
  "mutation_type": "instruction_add"
}
```

### Check Safety

```python
# Use the check_safety tool
{
  "text":…
