+ # Idea Matrix for Claude (MCP server and CLI)
2
+
3
+ Lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol read and update your Idea Matrix file. It runs on your computer, works on the same file as the app, and applies the same rules: Confidence cannot rise without evidence, and nothing is ever deleted.
4
+
5
+ Nothing here talks to any server of ours. The only thing that leaves your machine is what your assistant sends to its own provider, on your account.
6
+
7
+ ## Claude Desktop
8
+
9
+ 1. Download `idea-matrix.mcpb` from the releases page.
10
+ 2. Double-click it (or drag it into Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions).
11
+ 3. When asked, pick your matrix file, usually `ideas.ideamatrix.json`, the one the app created.
12
+
13
+ Then, in a chat, choose the **Work on my idea matrix** prompt, or just say "show me my idea matrix".
14
+
15
+ ## Claude Code
16
+
17
+ ```
18
+ claude mcp add idea-matrix -- npx -y @idea-matrix/mcp mcp --file ~/Documents/ideas.ideamatrix.json
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ Then `/idea-matrix:idea_matrix` lists your ideas and asks which to work on, or ask in plain words.
22
+
23
+ ## Other MCP clients
24
+
25
+ Point the client at this command (stdio transport):
26
+
27
+ ```
28
+ npx -y @idea-matrix/mcp mcp --file /path/to/ideas.ideamatrix.json
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ Local models work the same way through a client that supports MCP, such as LM Studio or Open WebUI, pointed at a model in Ollama.
32
+
33
+ ## What Claude can do
34
+
35
+ | Tool | What it does |
36
+ | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
37
+ | `list_ideas` | The matrix with scores, Confidence, Potential and Score, sorted by Score |
38
+ | `get_idea` | One idea in full, including its evidence log and how high Confidence may go |
39
+ | `add_idea` | A new idea at Backlog, unscored |
40
+ | `update_idea` | Change text, stage, scores or Confidence. The Confidence gate applies |
41
+ | `add_evidence` | Record a conversation: who, what they currently do, any commitment |
42
+ | `park_idea` / `unpark_idea` | Set aside with a reason, or bring back |
43
+
44
+ Two prompts: **idea_matrix** lists the ideas as a numbered list, asks which one to work on (by number, name or id), then runs the scoring conversation (summarise, ask the one or two questions that matter, propose scores with reasons, write only what is agreed); **review_matrix** gives an honest read of the whole matrix without changing anything.
45
+
46
+ One resource, `ideamatrix://matrix`, is the whole matrix as Markdown.
47
+
48
+ ## The command line
49
+
50
+ The same package is a small CLI:
51
+
52
+ ```
53
+ idea-matrix list --file ideas.ideamatrix.json
54
+ idea-matrix show --file ideas.ideamatrix.json "Trailhead weather board"
55
+ idea-matrix export --file ideas.ideamatrix.json md > ideas.md
56
+ idea-matrix init --file ideas.ideamatrix.json
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ `IDEA_MATRIX_FILE` in the environment saves typing `--file`.
60
+
61
+ ## Two programs, one file
62
+
63
+ The app and this server both write the same file. The app notices a change on disk within a few seconds and reloads, so scores set from Claude appear in the browser tab. Each write is atomic. If both write in the same second, the later one wins; keep one of them idle while the other is busy.
