Available tools 11

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

story

create_story_project

Create a new private story project when the user asks. Does not save canon or scenes.

list_story_checkpoints

Retrieve provisional story handoffs to recover progress across chats. These notes never override approved canon. Page with offset for older checkpoints.

list_story_projects

Find the user’s saved story projects before starting or resuming a story. Use the returned ID; do not guess projects. Page with offset.

search_story_canon

Search saved canon by literal title/content text, or browse every entry with an empty query and offset. Use to verify details before revising an entry or when context retrieval omits something.

continuity

continuity_audit

Retrieve locked canon for the assistant to compare against a short proposed scene. This tool supplies evidence; the assistant must identify contradictions. Does not save or approve the scene.

get_continuity_context

Retrieve relevant canon, recent approved scenes, and the latest provisional checkpoint before continuing a saved story or recovering it in a new chat. request is a brief scene/topic query, never a chat transcript. Results are a selection; use search_story_canon for specific missing facts.

approved

list_approved_scenes

Read approved scene summaries in story order. Page with offset to inspect older scenes or verify a scene number before saving.

canon

get_canon_history

Read previous and new content for a saved canon entry, newest first. No changes are made.

record

record_approved_scene

Store a concise summary of a scene the user has approved. Never record an unapproved draft. An occupied scene number is preserved unless replaceExisting is true and the user requested replacement. Identical retries return the saved scene.

save

save_story_checkpoint

Preserve a concise story-session handoff when the user asks to save progress or has authorized ongoing checkpoints for this story. Stores provisional notes, not canon or an approved scene. Separate established progress from unresolved ideas. Send only focused story state, never a full transcript, credentials, or unrelated personal details. Reuse checkpointId on retries.

upsert

upsert_canon_entry

Save a fact or revise canon only after the user approves it. Preserve the existing title/kind. LOCKED requires approval as established fact; brainstorming is not approval. Existing entries require expectedRevision from retrieval; conflicting edits fail without overwriting. Identical retries leave revision history unchanged.

Continuity by Ouroboros Apps — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Continuity by Ouroboros Apps mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around story and continuity. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Continuity by Ouroboros Apps working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 45 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Continuity by Ouroboros Apps as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Continuity by Ouroboros Apps?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Continuity by Ouroboros Apps need an API key?

No. Continuity by Ouroboros Apps completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is Continuity by Ouroboros Apps open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
