Workfile MCP

A repository-native protocol and local MCP server that treats Markdown files in a Git repository as the canonical source of truth for Work, Docs, History, and durable project Memory. It enables AI agents and humans to coordinate tasks, manage documentation, and track history using a shared index and validation rules without maintaining exclusive state in a database or browser.
