Context Foundry MCP Server

Autonomous build loop that plans, builds, reviews, and learns. Foundry reads a TASKS.md task list and works through it using Claude Code agents in a TUI, committing each completed task. Several run modes control what happens next: run forever with discovery (Auto), stop when done (Sprint), pause for human review after each task (Review), or run unattended for the build service (Service).

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.
