- Plan, build, review, and release cycles that persist across sessions.
- Strategy reviews every few cycles to check direction.
- Dashboard at getpapi.ai showing cycles, board, and decisions.
- Memory that compounds—assistant starts every session knowing the project state.
- Methodology embedded in the product: plan, build, review, release loop.
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
PAPICommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Connect PAPI to your AI tool as an MCP server. The fastest path is Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http papi https://mcp.getpapi.ai/mcp. A browser tab opens for sign‑in, then you can run the setup tool to scaffold the project and orient to discover the current cycle. For other tools (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex), see docs/install.md.

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

PAPI
PAPI keeps you in control of what you're building, across every AI tool you and your team use. AI coding tools write code well and remember nothing. Every new session starts from zero - you re-explain the project, the decisions, the plan. PAPI is the layer that fixes that: structured project memory (plans, builds, reviews, decisions) that persists across sessions, tools, and teammates.Quick start
claude mcp add --transport http papi https://mcp.getpapi.ai/mcp A browser tab opens, you sign in, you're connected. Then tell your assistant: "Runsetup, then orient."
What you get
- plan — breaks goals into right-sized tasks, each with a build handoff your assistant executes directly. - build — tracks what was built, what surprised you, what was discovered. - review / release — close the loop, so every cycle feeds the next plan. - strategy reviews — every few cycles step back and check direction, not just velocity. - dashboard at getpapi.ai — see cycles, board, and decisions without asking. The methodology is the product: a plan/build/review/release loop with memory that compounds. PAPI has been built with PAPI for 320+ cycles. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Codex.Sign in to leave a review
