### Description (declared)

# Tribal - Knowledge Service

Tribal is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation for error knowledge tracking and retrieval. It provides both REST API and native MCP interfaces for integration with tools like Claude Code and Cline.

## Features

- Store and retrieve error records with full context
- Vector similarity search using ChromaDB
- REST API (FastAPI) and native MCP interfaces
- JWT authentication with API keys
- Local storage (ChromaDB) and AWS integration
- Docker-compose deployment
- CLI client integration

## Overview

Tribal helps Claude remember and learn from programming errors. When you start a Claude Code session, Tribal is automatically available through MCP without additional imports.

Claude will:
1. Store programming errors and solutions
2. Search for similar errors when you encounter problems
3. Build a knowledge base specific to your coding patterns

## Packaging and Installing Tribal with uv

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.12+
- uv package manager (recommended)

### Build and Install Steps

#### Option 1: Direct installation with uv

The simplest approach is to install directly from the current directory:

```bash
# From the project root directory
cd /path/to/tribal

# Install using uv
uv pip install .
```

#### Option 2: Development Installation

For development work where you want changes to be immediately reflected:

```bash
# From the project root directory
cd /path/to/tribal

# Install in development mode
uv pip install -e .
```

#### Option 3: Build the package first

If you want to build a distributable package:

```bash
# Make sure you're in the project root directory
cd /path/to/tribal

# Install the build package if needed
uv pip install build

# Build the package
python -m build

# This creates distribution files in the dist/ directory
# Now install the wheel file
uv pip install dist/tribal-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
```

#### Option 4: Using the `uv tool install` command

You can also use the tool installation approach:
