everything · Summary
Official MCP test server exercising all protocol features for client builders.
continuum · Summary
Shared memory + orchestration for coding agents via one MCP server with persistent vector memory.
everything · Use cases
- Testing MCP client implementations against all protocol features
- Learning MCP protocol capabilities through a reference server
- Validating client compatibility with different transport methods
continuum · Use cases
- Multiple AI assistants working on the same codebase without redundant context explanations
- Persistent knowledge storage that survives model resets and client sessions
- Orchestrating parallel AI agents in isolated worktrees with collision detection
