Perseus: MCP server and live context engine

Overview

Perseus is an MCP server and live context engine that resolves git, services, and tests into agent context for AI assistants. It works as a local-first tool, allowing models to invoke functionality directly on your behalf through the Model Context Protocol.

The server runs entirely on your machine via the Python package perseus-ctx, installed through uvx. It communicates over stdio and requires no credentials or external authentication. Released as v1.0.26 under the MIT license, Perseus is open source at Perseus-Computing-LLC/perseus on GitHub, where it has garnered 42 stars.

Pereus belongs in the AI & Agents category and integrates with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain Perseus, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the details current.
