AVCS Overview

AVCS MCP server gives AI agents access to an agent-oriented version-control model built around intents, sessions, operations, evidence, and decisions. It computes the working tree by reducing an append-only operation graph with a policy and materializer, rather than storing commits and resolving merges with conflict markers. Reach for it when multiple humans or agents need concurrent changes with provenance, evidence gates, deterministic merging, and durable conflict rationale.

Primary Use Cases for AVCS:
  • Coordinate concurrent edits by humans and AI agents
  • Record evidence for behavior-changing operations
  • Resolve overlapping edits with durable decisions
  • Build agent context from intent and operation history
