What is the PAPI: Persistent Adaptive Planning Intelligence MCP Server?

Adaptive plan/build/review cycles for AI coding assistants, persisted across sessions.

The short version

AI coding tools are great at writing code and terrible at remembering why. Every new session starts from zero: you re-explain the project, the decisions, the plan. PAPI is the layer that fixes that. It gives your AI assistant structured project memory (plans, builds, reviews, decisions) that persists across sessions, tools, and teammates.
