Package Exports
- @gethmy/mcp
- @gethmy/mcp/dist/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@gethmy/mcp) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Quick Start
1. Get an API Key
2. Run Setup
npx @gethmy/mcp setupThe smart setup wizard will:
- Validate your API key
- Detect installed AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex)
- Install skills globally (recommended) or locally
- Let you select your workspace and project
That's it! You're ready to use Harmony with your AI agent.
Remote MCP (Hosted)
Connect any MCP-compatible agent to Harmony's hosted endpoint - no local server required.
Endpoint: https://mcp.gethmy.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP SDK standard)
Authentication: Bearer token using your hmy_ API key
Universal Setup with add-mcp
The fastest way to connect any agent to the remote endpoint. One command configures Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex, and more:
npx add-mcp https://mcp.gethmy.com/mcp -- --header "Authorization: Bearer hmy_your_key_here"Useful flags:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-g |
Install globally (not scoped to a project) |
-a <agent> |
Target specific agents (e.g., -a cursor -a claude-code) |
-y |
Skip interactive prompts |
Examples:
# Install for all detected agents
npx add-mcp https://mcp.gethmy.com/mcp -- --header "Authorization: Bearer hmy_your_key_here"
# Install globally for Cursor and Claude Code only
npx add-mcp https://mcp.gethmy.com/mcp -g -a cursor -a claude-code -- --header "Authorization: Bearer hmy_your_key_here"
# Non-interactive (CI-friendly)
npx add-mcp https://mcp.gethmy.com/mcp -y -- --header "Authorization: Bearer hmy_your_key_here"Manual Setup (Claude.ai)
If you prefer to configure manually (e.g., in Claude.ai's UI):
- Get an API key from Harmony
- In Claude.ai, add a remote MCP server with URL
https://mcp.gethmy.com/mcp - Set the Authorization header to
Bearer hmy_your_key_here - All 61+ Harmony tools become available in your conversation
Session management is automatic - sessions have a 1-hour TTL and are created/renewed transparently.
When to use remote vs local: The remote endpoint (via
add-mcpor manual config) works with any MCP-compatible agent and requires no local server. Use the local server (npx @gethmy/mcp setup) when you need skills, local project context, or memory sync to local markdown files.
Adding to a New Project
Just run setup again in the new project directory:
cd my-new-project
npx @gethmy/mcp setupIt detects your existing configuration and only asks for the project context.

/hmy — Card Workflow
When you start working on a card (e.g., /hmy #42):
- Find - Locates the card by short ID, UUID, or name
- Move - Moves the card to "In Progress" column
- Label - Adds the "agent" label to indicate AI is working
- Assign - Auto-assigns the card to you (if email is configured)
- Track - Starts a session timer visible in the UI
- Implement - Work on the task with progress updates
- Complete - Move to "Review" when done
/hmy-plan — Plan Workflow
A single command for both creating and executing plans. It auto-detects intent based on the argument:
| Argument | Action |
|---|---|
UUID |
Fetch and work on existing plan |
#42 |
Look up card, then its linked plan |
mobile auth |
Search existing plans; if found, work on it; if not, offer to create one |
| (empty) | Start the new plan creation interview |
Creating a plan (/hmy-plan mobile auth):
- Gathers board context and related memories
- Interviews you with 3-5 focused questions
- Synthesizes a structured plan document
- Saves to Harmony via
harmony_create_plan - Optionally advances to execute phase, creating board cards from tasks
Executing a plan (/hmy-plan <existing plan>):
- Displays plan summary (status, phase, task counts)
- Recalls related context from memory
- Offers options: create single card, create multiple cards, analyze only, or skip
- Creates cards and advances the plan phase
Available Tools

Auto-Session Detection
Sessions are automatically started when agents call card-mutating tools without an explicit harmony_start_agent_session. This ensures work is always tracked, even when agents don't explicitly manage sessions.
Trigger tools: harmony_generate_prompt, harmony_update_card, harmony_move_card, harmony_create_subtask, harmony_toggle_subtask, harmony_add_label_to_card, harmony_remove_label_from_card
Behavior:
- Auto-starts a session when any trigger tool is called on a card without an active session
- Auto-ends after 10 minutes of inactivity
- Switching to a different card auto-ends the previous auto-session
- Explicitly started sessions (via
harmony_start_agent_session) are never auto-ended - Auto-ended sessions trigger the full active learning pipeline
Prompt Generation
harmony_generate_prompt- Generate an AI-ready prompt from a card with assembled memory context
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
cardId |
Card UUID to generate prompt from |
shortId |
Alternative: Card short ID (e.g., 42 for #42) |
variant |
analysis (understand/plan), draft (design solution), execute (implement fully) |
includeDescription |
Include card description (default: true) |
includeSubtasks |
Include subtasks in prompt (default: true) |
includeLinks |
Include linked cards in prompt (default: true) |
customConstraints |
Additional instructions to append |
The prompt builder automatically infers the agent role based on card labels (bug, feature, design, etc.) and injects relevant memory context using the context assembly engine.
Memory / Knowledge Graph
Store and retrieve persistent knowledge across sessions. Memories have types, tiers, scopes, confidence scores, and can be linked via typed relations.
CRUD:
harmony_remember- Store a memory entity (markdown with YAML frontmatter)harmony_recall- Retrieve memories by type, tags, scope, or text queryharmony_update_memory- Update an existing memory entityharmony_forget- Archive or delete a memory entityharmony_memory_search- Full-text search across the knowledge baseharmony_relate- Create a typed relationship between two memory entities
Entity Types: agent, task, decision, context, pattern, error, solution, preference, relationship, commitment, lesson, project, handoff, procedure
Memory Tiers: draft (working notes) → episode (session summaries) → reference (durable knowledge)
Scopes: private, project, workspace, global
Relation Types: learned_from, resolved_by, contradicts, supports, depends_on, part_of, caused_by, relates_to
Memory Vault & Sync
harmony_vault_index- Compact index of all memory entities (markdown table)harmony_resolve_links- Batch-scan for[[wiki-links]]and auto-create relationsharmony_sync- Bidirectional sync between local markdown files (~/.harmony/memory/) and remote database (directions:pull,push,full)

Configuration
Global Configuration
Stored in ~/.harmony-mcp/config.json:
{
"apiKey": "hmy_...",
"apiUrl": "https://gethmy.com/api",
"userEmail": "you@example.com",
"activeWorkspaceId": null,
"activeProjectId": null
}Local Project Configuration
Stored in .harmony-mcp.json in your project root:
{
"workspaceId": "uuid-here",
"projectId": "uuid-here"
}Priority: Local config overrides global config for workspace and project context.
Security: API key is never stored locally (only in global config) to prevent accidental commits.
Auto-Assignment
When your email is configured during setup, cards are automatically assigned to you when you start an agent session (e.g., via /hmy #42). This helps track who is working on what.
To update your email:
npx @gethmy/mcp setup --email you@example.comThe email must match your Harmony account email to work correctly.
