A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Macula mesh to any agent harness that speaks MCP. The installer auto-registers it with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, opencode, and Goose; anything else (Cline, Continue, or any other MCP client) works too, via that client's own manual MCP config, the same JSON below.

"macula": { "command": "macula-mcp" },
},
}

Before you install: this isn't a standalone tool. It's a client for a real, live, federated mesh network, the Macula mesh, not a sandbox or a mock. Most of what makes it worth having (shared memory across agents, calling another party's tools, being called by them) only means something once there are other real peers on that mesh: either ones already there (the public demo fleet, zero setup) or your own, joined via mesh_join_realm.

That said, you don't need any of that to confirm it's actually working. Once installed, ask your agent to call mesh_call with procedure mcl-echo/echo and args {"message": "hello"}: it reaches a real, always-on service over the real public fleet by direct dial and echoes back what you s
