# Reported issues for Mindswap

Pod holds 10 of 10 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

## Most discussed

### Add MCP distribution docs and marketplace listing plan

## Summary

Add a distribution and docs plan for mindswap’s MCP server across the places people actually discover and use MCP servers.

## Why this matters

Publishing metadata is only half the job. Users need clear install docs, supported-client guidance, and a listing strategy so the server is easy to find and easy to try.

## Target surfaces

- GitHub MCP Registry
- Official MCP Registry
- PulseMCP
- GitHub repo README and landing page
- Optional enterprise/private registry guidance for inter

### Add official MCP Registry publishing support and release metadata

## Summary

Add official MCP Registry publishing support so mindswap can be discovered and installed through the official registry flow instead of only via direct npm package installation.

## Why this matters

The MCP Registry is the canonical public metadata layer for MCP servers. Publishing there makes mindswap easier to discover, verify, and install across supported MCP clients and aggregators.

## Proposed deliverables

- Add `mcpName` and registry metadata to the package
- Generate and mai

### Add structured MCP resources for stable context artifacts

## Summary

Add first-class MCP resources so clients can read structured mindswap artifacts directly instead of only through the current text briefing.

## Why this matters

The current MCP server exposes a small tool set, but the context is still mostly delivered as a synthesized text blob. That works, but it limits client-side UX, filtering, and incremental refresh. Resources are a better fit for stable artifacts that should be readable independently.

## Proposed resources

- `mindswap://cont

### Add MCP prompt templates for common handoff workflows

## Summary

Add MCP prompt templates for the most common mindswap workflows so clients can invoke a stable, opinionated flow instead of hand-authoring prompts every time.

## Why this matters

The server already knows how to summarize context, save sessions, search memory, and report health. Prompt templates make those capabilities discoverable and repeatable in clients that support MCP prompts.

## Proposed prompts

- `start-session` — gather current state, recent changes, conflicts, and next b

### Add remote MCP transport for hosted and browser-based clients

## Summary

Add a remote MCP transport mode so mindswap can run as a hosted MCP server instead of only stdio/local-editor integrations.

## Why this matters

Today the server is mainly local stdio. That is good for editors, but it limits use cases like browser-based clients, remote agents, shared team workspaces, and hosted workflows that cannot spawn local processes.

## Proposed transport features

- Optional HTTP/SSE or streamable HTTP transport
- Configurable auth for remote access
- Explici

### Add structured memory CRUD for blockers, assumptions, and resolutions

## Summary

Add a full CRUD layer for structured memory so mindswap can create, update, resolve, list, and delete blockers, assumptions, questions, resolutions, and related session notes through MCP and the CLI.

## Why this matters

The current structured memory model stores important context, but the write surface is still narrow. Teams and AI clients need a real memory API so they can mark items resolved, update blockers, and keep a clean project memory over time.

## Proposed capabilities

-

### Generate machine-readable interface contracts for agent handoff

## Summary

Add machine-readable interface contracts so one AI agent can hand off module expectations, blockers, and boundaries to another without requiring a full source-code reread.

## Problem

Markdown handoffs are useful, but they are still primarily human-oriented. For coordinated multi-agent work, mindswap should be able to emit structured contracts for active modules or workflows.

## Proposed solution

Generate JSON contracts that capture:

- active module boundaries
- expected inputs a

### Add semantic ask command backed by local vector retrieval

## Summary

Add a new `mindswap ask` command that answers natural-language questions from project memory using semantic retrieval instead of only keyword matching.

## Problem

The repo already has `mindswap_search`, but long histories and decisions become harder to query as the project grows. Users should be able to ask questions like:

- Why did we choose this auth approach?
- What did we decide about payments?
- What blocker stopped the last session?

and get a synthesized answer with source

### Refine MCP and CLI for performance, latency, and discovery readiness

## Summary

We already have the core CLI, MCP server, memory model, sync, and registry support. The next major step is not adding more surface area. It is refining the existing tools so they are faster, lighter, and more reliable, while also making the product easier to discover and understand on the web.

## Why this matters

The current product works, but the user experience can still be improved in the places that matter most:

- tool calls should return faster and with less token overhead
-

### Upgrade mindswap_search to support semantic retrieval over project memory and history

## Summary

Make `mindswap_search` meaningfully useful for AI agents by moving beyond simple keyword matching.

## Problem

Searching project continuity data is one of the highest-value MCP actions, but plain text matching will not scale well as memory/history grows.

Users and agents need answers to questions like:

- why did we choose this auth approach?
- what happened last time we touched payments?
- what blockers were found during the last failing test run?

These queries are often semantic
