What Matters MCP Server

Replace the list of things the user says matter most — people, projects, whatever they care about. Send the WHOLE list every time, including the terms you are keeping: this replaces, it does not append, so omitting one deletes it. Read the current list from get_document first. Up to 10 terms of 60 characters; longer lists and longer terms are trimmed rather than refused, and the stored result comes back so you can see what landed. ONLY call this when the user asks you directly, in conversation. A scheduled run must never touch it: focus is the user saying what they care about, so a term they did not choose is worse than no term at all. Never infer one from their list.

Create, change, pause or delete a standing rule, taking effect IMMEDIATELY with no review. Use this only when the user asks you directly — "stop suggesting PTO stuff". A scheduled run must propose rules through put_proposal instead, exactly as it proposes items rather than calling add_item.

Mark an item done, or reopen it. Idempotent.

Read everything: action items, the record of what has already been dismissed, and "focus" — the handful of terms the user says matter most. Always call this before proposing changes: it is the only way to know what was already deleted or rejected, and re-suggesting those is the main failure mode.

Add an item immediately, without review. Normally use this ONLY when the user has just asked for it in conversation — they are the human in the loop at that moment, so set initiated: "human". Anything found by scanning on a schedule belongs in put_proposal instead, with ONE exception: something genuinely urgent that cannot wait for review may be added with initiated: "auto" and priority: "high", which lands on the list at once. Nothing notifies the user. Reserve it for things that truly cannot wait, because routine "urgent" adds bury the one item that means look now.

Replace the pending set of suggested changes. This is the ONLY write the scheduled run should make — nothing here reaches the list until the user reviews and accepts it. Replaces any previous proposal wholesale, so include everything still worth suggesting, up to 100 deltas.
