Hoofy

Active·★ 16·MIT·Updated 2026-03-12

Hoofy is an MCP server that solves memory loss, hallucinated implementations, and unstructured AI workflows. It provides persistent context across sessions, spec-driven development pipelines, and adaptive change management for any MCP-compatible AI tool. Built in Go, it runs as a single binary with zero dependencies.
