 Herald MCP - AI-native interface to [CEDA](https://getceda.com) (Cognitive Event-Driven Architecture).
 
-## Installation
+**Dual-mode**: Natural chat for humans, MCP for AI agents.
 
-```bash
-# Run directly (no install)
-npx @spilno/herald-mcp
+## Quick Start
 
-# Or install globally
+```bash
 npm install -g @spilno/herald-mcp
-herald-mcp
+
+export HERALD_API_URL=https://getceda.com
+
+herald-mcp chat
+```
+
+That's it. Chat mode works out of the box.
+
+## Chat Mode (Natural Conversation)
+
+```bash
+herald-mcp chat
+```
+
+```
+You: I need a safety assessment module for construction sites
+Herald: I've designed a Safety Assessment module with 4 sections...
+
+You: Add OSHA compliance fields
+Herald: Done. Added compliance checklist to Risk Evaluation...
+
+You: Looks good, let's use it
+Herald: Great! Module accepted and saved.
 ```
 
-## Configuration
+## Command Mode (Structured)
+
+```bash
+herald-mcp predict "create safety assessment"
+herald-mcp refine "add OSHA compliance"
+herald-mcp resume
+herald-mcp observe yes
+herald-mcp new
+herald-mcp health
+herald-mcp stats
+```
 
-Set environment variables:
+## Session Persistence
+
+Sessions saved to `~/.herald/session` - resume anytime:
+
+```bash
+# Start today
+herald-mcp predict "create incident report module"
+
+# Continue tomorrow
+herald-mcp resume
+herald-mcp refine "add witness statements section"
+```

-## Tools
+## Herald Context Sync (v1.3.0+)
 
-Herald exposes 6 MCP tools:
+Herald instances can communicate across contexts, sharing insights and synchronizing status:
 
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `herald_health` | Check CEDA system status |
-| `herald_stats` | Get server statistics and loaded patterns |
-| `herald_predict` | Generate prediction from natural language input |
-| `herald_refine` | Refine existing prediction with additional requirements |
-| `herald_session` | Get session history and state |
-| `herald_observe` | Record prediction feedback for learning |
+### Tools
 
-## Usage with Claude Code
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `herald_context_status` | Read status from Herald contexts across domains |
+| `herald_share_insight` | Share a pattern insight with another context |
+| `herald_query_insights` | Query accumulated insights on a topic |

-## Multi-turn Conversations
-
-Herald supports session-based conversations for iterative refinement:
+## Architecture
 
 ```
-1. herald_predict("create assessment module")
-   → Returns sessionId + initial prediction
-
-2. herald_refine(sessionId, "add OSHA compliance fields")
-   → Returns refined prediction
-
-3. herald_refine(sessionId, "include corrective actions workflow")
-   → Returns further refined prediction
-
-4. herald_session(sessionId)
-   → Returns full history of all turns
-
-5. herald_observe(sessionId, accepted=true)
-   → Records feedback for learning
+Human ←→ Herald (Claude voice) ←→ CEDA (cognition)
+Agent ←→ Herald (JSON-RPC)     ←→ CEDA
