Derive MCP Server

Publish, review, and own your AI artifacts. One durable URL for every version, comment, revision, and decision. Your team reviews the work; any compatible agent can act on the feedback. Hosted, or one self-hosted container.

Teams that want a hosted developer tools endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.
