MCP Commit Story: Your Engineering Journey, Remembered

What is MCP Commit Story?

MCP Commit Story is a personal engineering journal for developers who want to capture not just what they built, but how it felt and why it mattered.

It's a tool-in-progress, built by and for developers who care about the story behind the code.

MCP Commit Story runs as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, designed to work hand-in-hand with AI agents. These agents help gather and summarize the real context from your development workflow—so your journal entries are always grounded in what actually happened.

Why Build This?

As a developer, it's easy to forget the "why" behind your work—what challenged you, what you learned, and how you grew.
MCP Commit Story helps you:

- Capture the narrative: Each commit becomes a journal entry, recording not just the technical changes, but the decisions, frustrations, and small wins along the way.
- Remember how it felt: The journal includes mood and emotional context, so you can look back and see not just what you did, but how you experienced it.
- Surface stories and insights: By collecting real context from your workflow (AI Agent chat, terminal, code changes, commit messages), you can spot threads of challenge and triumph—perfect for blog posts, conference talks, or just understanding your own growth (no small thing!)
- Support retrospectives and reviews: Summaries and insights make it easier to reflect, ask for career advancement, or explain why certain choices were made.
