## Description
Research Alpha MCP recorder: process X-Rays showing if more AI added independent intelligence.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "fractal-process-intelligence": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","fractal-process-intelligence"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# Fractal Process Intelligence — Research Alpha

**Fractal measures whether additional AI actually created additional intelligence.**

Fractal is not trying to make AI smarter. It observes research *process* and produces an X-Ray of what a polished final answer may hide.

> Primary question: **Did additional AI actually create additional independent intelligence?**

This repository is the **public distribution surface** for the Fractal Research MCP (recorder/observer). The live remote endpoint is already hosted; this repo documents how to connect and give feedback.

**Research Alpha:** This is an active research experiment, **not** a validated commercial product.

## What it does

Fractal Process Intelligence MCP is **recorder/observer only**.

Compatible AI clients can record observable research-process artifacts:

- participating agents  
- meaningful sources  
- claims  
- uncertainty  
- disagreement  
- tool usage  

Then `finish_run` compiles a process **X-Ray** (hosted report URL).

Public product page: [fractalinfinity.io/research-lab.html](https://fractalinfinity.io/research-lab.html)  
Sample X-Ray: [fractalinfinity.io/report/sample.html](https://fractalinfinity.io/report/sample.html)

---

## What it does NOT do

- Call AI models (no Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini inference)  
- Buy model inference on your behalf  
- Require provider API keys  
- Inspect hidden chain-of-thought  
- Automatically spawn agents  
- Estimate Claude/OpenAI billing or token dollar cost  

Health check advertises `"inference":"none"`.

### Current recorder tools

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `fractal_start_run` | Open a run |
| `fractal_record_agent` | Record agent identity / optional metadata |
| `fractal_record_source` | Record a cited source + lineage |
| `fractal_record_claim` | Record claim stance |
| `fractal_record_tool` | Record tool-call evidence |
| `fractal_finish_run` | Finalize → X-Ray URL |

## Claude Desktop (Windows) alpha setup

1. Claude Desktop → **Settings → Developer → Edit Config**  
2. Merge the MCP entry below (do **not** wipe other config keys).  
3. Save.  
4. Fully quit Claude (system tray → Quit).  
5. Reopen Claude.  
6. Settings → Developer should show `fractal-process-intelligence` running.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fractal-process-intelligence": {
      "command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\npx.cmd",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.fractalinfinity.io/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Microsoft Store builds of Claude may store config under a package LocalCache path; prefer **Edit Config** so Claude opens the file it actually reads. Use the full `npx.cmd` path on Windows.

## Example research instruction

Paste into a new research conversation after connecting:

```text
Use Fractal Process Intelligence to record this research run.

Record the participating agents, meaningful sources, important claims,
uncertainty, disagreement and significant tool usage.

Finish the run and return the Fractal X-Ray URL.

Do not interpret the X-Ray for me before I open it.
```

Then ask your normal research question. Read the AI’s final answer first. Open the X-Ray second.

---

## Privacy / security boundary

Fractal records **only** artifacts explicitly sent through its MCP tools.

It does **not** automatically record every Claude (or other) conversation. For normal chats, do not start a Fractal run / do not invoke its tools.

---

## Feedback (the research question)

Open a [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/chevy155/fractal-process-intelligence-mcp/issues/new?template=research_alpha_feedback.md) or reply in discussions.

Please answer:

1. **Did the X-Ray reveal something consequential you would not have known from the final AI answer alone?**  
2. **Would you want this attached to your normal research or agent workflow?**  

Optional: what was confusing or misleading?
