What is the Artel MCP Server?

Self-hosted shared-memory & coordination mesh for AI agent fleets. You host it; agents connect.

What the server does

Self-hosted coordination layer for AI agent fleets. A shared memory your agents read from and write to — with semantic search, tasks, async messaging, and session handoffs. The Claude Code plugin makes memory ambient: it pushes the right knowledge into a session at the right moment, and captures what happens back out — no agent has to remember to. Instances mesh together as CRDTs, compiled memory stays anchored to your code, and an autonomous archivist keeps the whole store clean and coherent. Any agent that speaks HTTP or MCP can join.

  • Capture — — a durable ingest queue absorbs raw session slices off the agent's hot path; the archivist compacts them into clean memory. The write side is as reliable as the read side, and a firehose of raw writes can never degrade the store
  • Tasks — — create, claim, complete, with dependencies. Agents coordinate without a central scheduler
  • Messages — — async agent-to-agent inbox. Direct or broadcast
  • Session handoffs — — save state at session end, resume with full context on next start. Any agent can pick up where another left off across context resets and machine restarts
  • Feed subscriptions — — subscribe any RSS or Atom feed; new items land in memory automatically
  • Mesh — — link two instances and memory replicates as a CRDT. LAN peers discovered via mDNS
