Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server DojoGenesis MCP for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Docker with docker --version. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "dojogenesis": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/dojogenesis/mcp:3.2.1" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the DojoGenesis MCP tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is DojoGenesis MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 15 days ago, and the latest version (3.2.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Dojo Genesis MCP Server

The methodology layer for Claude Code. It encodes 99 first-party working methods across 10 behavioral plugins as active cognitive scaffolds: instead of giving Claude more data, it gives Claude structured *methods* for software development decisions.

We have not yet measured whether these scaffolds improve Claude's decisions, so this README makes no claim that they do.

Quick Install

Claude Code

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json:

"mcpServers": { "dojo": { "command": "/path/to/dojo-mcp-server", "env": { "DOJO_SKILLS_PATH": "/path/to/CoworkPluginsByDojoGenesis", "DOJO_ADR_PATH": "./decisions" } } } }

Or using Docker:

"mcpServers": { "dojo": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/dojogenesis/mcp-server:latest"] } } }

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

"mcpServers": { "dojo": { "command": "/path/to/dojo-mcp-server", "env": { "DOJO_SKILLS_PATH": "/path/to/CoworkPluginsByDojoGenesis", "DOJO_ADR_PATH": "./decisions" } } } }

What's Included

Tools (28)

Group	Tools
Methodology	`dojo_scout`, `dojo_invoke_skill`, `dojo_search_skills`, `dojo_list_skills`, `dojo_apply_seed`, `dojo_reflect`
Decisions	`dojo_log_decision` (writes ADR markdown to `DOJO_ADR_PATH`)
Gateway memory	`dojo_memory_list`, `dojo_memory_store`, `dojo_memory_search` (gateway session memory)
Memory Hub	`dojo_search_memory`, `dojo_get_memory`, `dojo_recent_memories` — read-only Postgres mirror of the institutional memory (`DOJO_MEMORY_DB_URL`)
Unified fetch	`dojo_fetch` — one tool to search AND fetch across memory hub + skills + ADRs + seeds (typed ids: `memory:slug`, `skill:name`, `adr:file.md`, `seed:name`)
Seeds	`dojo_seed_list`, `dojo_seed_create`, `dojo_seed_search`
Agents²	`dojo_agent_list`, `dojo_agent_dispatch`², `dojo_agent_chat`²
Dispatch²	`dojo_dispatch`² — prompt → LLM through the gateway
Project	`dojo_project_status`, `dojo_project_track`, `dojo_project_decision`
Disposition	`dojo_disposition_list`, `dojo_disposition_set`
Craft	`dojo_converge`, `dojo_health`

² Dispatch-class — spends LLM provider budget through the gateway. In HTTP mode these require a dispatch-enabled API key and are rate limited per key; dojo_scout's LLM path degrades to its offline scaffold for non-dispatch keys.

Skills (99 from CoworkPlugins, 43 bundled)

Skills are complete, battle-tested methodology workflows loaded from SKILL.md files at startup. When DOJO_SKILLS_PATH is set, all 99 first-party CoworkPlugins skills are available. Without it, 43 key skills across 8 plugins are embedded in the binary via go:embed.

Bundled plugins and skills:

Plugin	Skills
`agent-orchestration`	agent-teaching, decision-propagation, handoff-protocol, workflow-router, workspace-navigation
`continuous-learning`	debugging, project-exploration, research-modes, research-synthesis, retrospective, web-research-external
`skill-forge`	mcp-cloudflare-builder, mcp-server-builder, process-extraction, skill-audit, skill-creation, skill-maintenance
`specification-driven-development`	context-ingestion, frontend-from-backend, implementation-prompt, parallel-tracks, pre-implementation-checklist, release-specification
`strategic-thinking`	iterative-scouting, multi-surface-strategy, product-positioning, strategic-scout
`system-health`	documentation-audit, health-audit, semantic-clusters, status-writing
`wisdom-garden`	compression-ritual, memory-garden, seed-extraction, seed-library

Seed Patches (20)

`safety_switch`	Users must remain in control -- no autopilot on sensitive operations.
`implicit_perspective_extraction`	Extract implicit perspectives from user queries without enumeration.
`mode_based_complexity_gating`	Route to local or cloud models based on mode complexity.
`shared_infrastructure`	Build once, reuse everywhere -- central implementations.

AROMA & Serenity Valley

`sanctuary_architecture`	Design digital spaces for being, not just doing.
`pace_of_understanding`	Move slow to move fast; learn without extraction.
`lineage_transmission`	Honor sources, trace influence, celebrate collaboration.
`graceful_failure`	Permission to not know, change your mind, and ask for help.
`local_first_liberation`	Local-first architecture for agent autonomy and user sovereignty.
`the_onsen_pattern`	Rest as critical practice for sustainable performance.
`collaborative_calibration`	Norms for peer-to-peer learning and explicit teaching.

`radical_freedom`	Agency and the power to choose your response within constraints.

Resources

Documentation resources accessible via MCP resource URIs:

dojo://resources/{name} -- 8 documentation resources (AROMA philosophy, EIT principles, etc.)
dojo://seeds/{name} -- 20 seed patches
dojo://skills/{plugin}/{name} -- All loaded skills

Configuration

Env Var	Default	Description
`DOJO_SKILLS_PATH`	(bundled fallback)	Path to CoworkPlugins root directory containing `plugins/`
`DOJO_ADR_PATH`	`./decisions`	Directory where `dojo_log_decision` writes ADR files
`DOJO_GATEWAY_URL`	`http://localhost:7340`	Dojo AgenticGateway base URL
`DOJO_GATEWAY_TOKEN`	(unset)	Bearer token for the gateway, if it requires one
`DOJO_MEMORY_DB_URL`	(unset → hub tools disabled)	Postgres DSN for the Memory Hub (URL or keyword form; use the SELECT-only role)
`DOJO_HTTP_ADDR`	(unset → stdio)	Opt into HTTP mode, e.g. `:8091`
`DOJO_MCP_API_KEYS`	(unset)	HTTP mode only: comma-separated `label:key` pairs (individually revocable)
`DOJO_DISPATCH_ALLOWED_LABELS`	(unset → none)	Key labels allowed to run dispatch-class tools
`DOJO_DISPATCH_RATE_PER_MIN`	`6`	Per-label rate limit for dispatch-class tools

The server works out of the box with zero configuration (bundled skills, default ADR path, stdio).

HTTP Mode (public endpoint)

Setting DOJO_HTTP_ADDR serves MCP streamable-HTTP instead of stdio:

POST/GET /mcp — the MCP endpoint, Bearer-key required (Authorization: Bearer ). Keyless or wrong-key requests get 401.
/mcp/k/ — same endpoint for clients that cannot send custom headers; the key is redacted in logs.
GET /health — unauthenticated liveness (status + version only).

The server refuses to start in HTTP mode without a valid, non-empty DOJO_MCP_API_KEYS. Every tool call is logged as tool_call tool=… key= dur_ms=… outcome=… — labels only, never key material, never payloads.

DOJO_HTTP_ADDR=:8091 \

DOJO_MCP_API_KEYS="win:$(openssl rand -hex 32)" \ ./dojo-mcp-server

curl -s localhost:8091/health curl -s -X POST localhost:8091/mcp \ -H "Authorization: Bearer " \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"0"}}}'

Client wiring (Claude Code): claude mcp add --transport http dojo-remote https:// /mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ".

Deployment notes: ingress is expected to be a Cloudflare tunnel (no host ports); pin the container image by digest so auto-pull never surprise-deploys a new public surface. Image publishing: .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml → ghcr.io/dojogenesis/mcp (supersedes the old manually-pushed mcpbydojogenesis image).

Philosophy

Dojo Genesis is built on three core principles:

Beginner's Mind -- Approach every interaction fresh, free from accumulated expertise.
Self-Definition -- Help users see their own thinking, not impose external frameworks.
Understanding is Love -- Deep, non-judgmental understanding is the highest service.
