19 tools across tasks, docs, compass, changelog, and more — accessible from any MCP-compatible client. Your IDE can read and write to your entire workspace.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI agents connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of building separate plugins for each IDE, Einar exposes one MCP server that works everywhere — VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and beyond.
Any MCP-compatible client can connect to Einar. Here are the most popular ones.

Your coding agent gets full access to your founder workspace — read your backlog, update docs, check the compass, log features, and more.
Full CRUD on your product backlog — create, update, filter, and read tasks and initiatives.
list_tasksget_taskcreate_taskupdate_taskRead and write your founder documentation. Vision docs, specs, meeting notes — all versioned.
list_docsget_docupsert_docAccess your strategic compass — vision, strategy blocks, focus areas, and alignment signals.
get_compasslist_compass_blocksNavigate and create nested folder structures in your documentation hierarchy.
resolve_doc_pathget_doc_treeConnect entities across your workspace — link docs to tasks, tasks to contacts, and more.
link_entitiesget_linksDocument completed features and ship notes. Auto-organized by year and month.
document_featureFetch recent activity across your workspace — understand what happened before writing status.
list_activitiesPost team status updates. Messages are lightly humanized before sharing.
write_statusManage file attachments on tasks, docs, spaces, and other entities.
list_attachmentsget_attachment_urldelete_attachmentAdd the Einar MCP server to your client config. That's it.
Log in to Einar and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.
Paste this into your client's MCP configuration file (e.g. .vscode/mcp.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or claude_desktop_config.json).

}Your coding agent now has access to your entire founder workspace. Ask it to check your backlog, update a doc, or log a feature — all without leaving your IDE.
Real workflows, not toy demos.
Your agent queries the backlog, cross-references with the code you're writing, and surfaces related tasks you should be aware of.
After finishing a feature, your agent calls document_feature to create a changelog entry, link the related tasks, and organize it by date.
Your agent reads the current doc, proposes changes based on the code you just wrote, and upserts the updated version — fully versioned.
At the end of the day, your agent reviews your recent activities and writes a status update for your team — no tab-switching required.
Your founder OS shouldn't live in a browser tab you forget about. Bring it into the place where you actually build.
