Zerno Lite Overview
The zerno-lite MCP server gives AI agents remote access to ZERNO project briefs, tasks, agent context, and intake workflows. It runs at a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint and uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, bearer tokens, and project-scoped authorization. Eight tools support reading project information, updating tasks, submitting triage proposals, creating intake tasks, and recording session events. Use it when an agent needs ZERNO context before acting without direct, unrestricted backend access.
Primary Use Cases for Zerno Lite:
- Read project orientation before an agent starts work
- Inspect and filter a ZERNO task backlog
- Update task fields or status from an authorized workflow
- Submit agent findings for human-reviewed triage
