### Description (declared)

# repro-mcp

An MCP server that brings reproducibility logging to AI-assisted scientific computing.

Git records *what* changed. `repro-mcp` records *why* — logging prompts, responses, methodological decisions, and environment snapshots to human-readable markdown files that live alongside your code.

Built for researchers working under privacy or funding constraints who run models locally and need an audit trail that holds up to peer review.

---

## Why this exists

AI coding assistants are increasingly used in scientific workflows, but the interaction between a researcher and an AI — the prompts, the reasoning, the alternatives considered — disappears when the session ends. This matters because:

- A methods section can't cite a conversation
- A future collaborator can't reproduce your reasoning, only your code
- Environment drift silently breaks analyses months later

`repro-mcp` captures all of this locally. No cloud dependency. No data leaves the machine.

---

## How it works

`repro-mcp` is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server. Any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, Continue) can connect to it. It exposes tools the AI can call to:

- Open a session and snapshot the environment
- Log each prompt/response exchange
- Record significant decisions and the alternatives that were rejected
- Check code against reproducibility rules before it runs
- Close the session with a git diff summary

All output goes to `.repro/` in your project directory — plain markdown, git-friendly, human-readable.

## Installation

Requires Python 3.11+. The recommended way is via [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```bash
# No install step — uvx runs it in an isolated environment
uvx repro-mcp
```

Or with pip:

```bash
pip install repro-mcp
```

Or from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ABindoff/repro-mcp.git
cd repro-mcp
pip install -e .
```

---

## Configuration

### Claude Code

Add it manually to `.mcp.json` in you…
