Ouroboros Overview
The Ouroboros MCP server connects AI coding agents to a local-first runtime for specification-first, replayable workflows. It interviews users about ambiguous requests, crystallizes intent into a Seed, runs agent work, and records events in a Ledger for evaluation and replay. Reach for it when coding tasks need clearer requirements, policy boundaries, and repeatable verification across supported agent runtimes. The project can run on its own or as the OS layer beneath Ourocode and Ouroboros plugins.
Primary Use Cases for Ouroboros:
- Interview users to clarify vague coding requests
- Create structured Seeds before implementation
- Replay agent workflows from ledgered events
- Run advisory lanes before submitting an interview
