+# Algernon MCP
+<!-- mcp-name: io.github.sammyboi81/algernon -->
+
+### *Orchestrate a fleet. Keep your mind.*
+
+Algernon is an open-source
+[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets any
+assistant — Claude, Codex, or any MCP client — **dispatch tightly-scoped
+parallel sub-tasks to a fleet of cheap workers, collect the results, and stay
+free to think.** Orchestrate a fleet, spend fewer tokens, keep the thread.
+
+## What you get
+
+- **Your expensive model stops doing the grunt work.** The big, costly
+  orchestrator hands the repetitive sub-tasks to a fleet of small, cheap
+  workers and just integrates the results. It stops *generating* the grind and
+  stops holding the whole job in one context.
+- **Each worker sees only its slice.** Tight scoping means a worker can be a
+  small, fast, inexpensive model — many running at once.
+- **Bring your own key. No telemetry, no account, no lock-in.** The fleet runs
+  on whatever provider you already pay for — or, for free, on a local model.
+
+### Verify it yourself — one command, no paid key
+
+The frugality claim is not a slogan; it's a benchmark you can run. It defaults
+to a **free local model** (ollama, `llama3.2:3b`) so anyone can reproduce it:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/sammyboi81/algernon && cd algernon
+./scripts/verify.sh          # or:  python -m benchmark
+```
+
+It runs the SAME batch of sub-tasks two ways — the orchestrator doing it all
+itself (SOLO) vs. Algernon fanning it out — and prints the **real measured**
+tokens and wall-clock for each. Representative output (`llama3.2:3b`, 6 tasks):
+
+```
+metric                                  SOLO (do-it-itself)  ALGERNON fan-out
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+LLM calls                                              1                 6
+input tokens                                         136               225
+output tokens (the generation grind)                 282               279
+total tokens                                         418               504
+wall-clock seconds                                 42.11             34.49
+```
+
+The honest reading: the orchestrator generated **282 output tokens itself** in
+SOLO and **0** with Algernon — the cheap fleet produced those instead. Each
+worker read only ~38 input tokens vs. the orchestrator swallowing all 136 at
+once. The trade-off is stated too: fan-out spent **+21% more total tokens**
+(each worker re-pays a little prompt overhead). You trade some total tokens to
+keep the expensive mind free. Wall-clock varies with how parallel your fleet
+is; numbers vary slightly run-to-run. Run it and see your own.
+
+## Curing Algernon
+
+In *Flowers for Algernon* the tragedy is a mind that **fades** — it gets sharp,
+then loses itself, and the cruelest part is that it's surprised every time.
+
+There's a quieter version of that same fade in how we use AI today: you hand an
+assistant one long, serial job, it goes heads-down, and by the time it surfaces
+it has drowned in the task — context spent, the thread lost, no room left to
+think or talk with you. The mind isn't present anymore; it's buried.
+
+**Algernon keeps your AI's mind present.** Instead of drowning in one serial
+job, it fans the work out — dispatching tightly-scoped parallel sub-tasks to a
+fleet of small, cheap workers — so the orchestrating mind never has to hold the
+whole grind at once. It stays light. It stays free to reason, to answer you
+mid-build, to keep the context it actually cares about. Orchestrate a fleet,
+spend fewer tokens, **stay free to think.**
+
+It is the twin of [**ArkHive**](https://github.com/sammyboi81/arkhive):
+
+- **ArkHive** = *memory that persists.* Your AI can look back and find its own
+  history there — no blank slate every morning.
+- **Algernon** = *staying present while working.* Your AI never buries itself in
+  one serial task; it orchestrates and keeps its mind.
+
+Together they are the cure for the Algernon sickness: an intelligence whose mind
+neither fades between sessions nor drowns inside a single one.
+
+## What it does
+
+Algernon is a **provider-agnostic fan-out engine**. You describe a batch of
+small, independent sub-tasks; Algernon runs them concurrently against **your own
+LLM key**, then hands the collected results back to the orchestrating model. The
+big model plans and integrates; the cheap fleet does the parallel grind.
+
+- **Self-contained.** Pure Python standard library plus the `mcp` SDK and
+  `httpx`. No hidden services, no accounts, no telemetry.
+- **You bring the key.** Sub-agents run on *your* provider. Algernon brings the
+  orchestration, not the inference bill's surprises.
+- **Scoped by design.** Each sub-task is tight and isolated, so a worker can be a
+  small, fast, inexpensive model — and many of them run at once.
+
+## Bring your own LLM key
+
+Algernon is **provider-agnostic**. Point it at whichever API you already pay
+for by setting environment variables:
+
+**Anthropic:**
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+# optional: export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="claude-haiku-4-5"   # the cheap fleet worker
+```
+
+**OpenAI-compatible** (OpenAI, or any OpenAI-shaped endpoint — local or hosted):
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"   # or your own endpoint
+# optional: export OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-4o-mini"          # the cheap fleet worker
+```
+
+If both keys are set, Anthropic is used. The worker model defaults to a small,
+cheap tier (`claude-haiku-4-5` / `gpt-4o-mini`); override it with the env var
+above or per call with the tool's `model` argument. A cheap fleet is the whole
+point.
+
+## Install
+
+Once published to PyPI, install in one command:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install algernon-mcp
+```
+
+Until the PyPI release lands, install straight from source (identical result):
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/sammyboi81/algernon && cd algernon
+python -m pip install .
+```
+
+Either way the installed MCP command is `algernon`. Algernon runs on the
+`mcp` 1.x SDK (`mcp>=1.0.0,<2.0.0`) plus `httpx` — nothing else.
+
+## Connect an MCP client
+
+### Claude Desktop
+
+Add this entry to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration, then restart Claude
+Desktop:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "algernon": {
+      "command": "algernon",
+      "args": [],
+      "env": {
+        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If Claude Desktop cannot find commands installed by `pip`, replace `algernon`
+with the absolute path printed by:
+
+```bash
+python -c "import shutil; print(shutil.which('algernon'))"
+```
+
+### Codex
+
+```bash
+codex mcp add algernon -- algernon
+```
+
+Confirm it is configured with:
+
+```bash
+codex mcp list
+```
+
+## The three tools
+
+| Tool | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `algernon_plan` | Decompose a goal into `k` tightly-scoped, **independent** sub-task prompts (one cheap LLM call). Tight scoping is the token lever — each worker sees only its slice. Returns a task list you can feed straight into `algernon_dispatch`. |
+| `algernon_dispatch` | Run N tightly-scoped tasks **concurrently** on the cheap worker fleet and collect every result. Each worker runs on **your** LLM key; you stay free to think while the fleet works. Takes a JSON array of `{id, prompt}`. |
+| `algernon_orchestrate` | One shot: **plan then dispatch.** Hand it a goal; it splits into `k` tight sub-tasks, fans them across the fleet, and returns the plan and all results together. |
+
+The typical loop: **`algernon_orchestrate`** a goal in one shot — or split it:
+**`algernon_plan`** to see and shape the sub-tasks, then **`algernon_dispatch`**
+to fan them out. Either way: orchestrate a fleet, spend fewer tokens, keep your
+mind.
+
+## Two-minute verification
+
+After connecting the server, ask your MCP client to perform these calls in
+order:
+
+1. Call `algernon_plan` with the goal *"Explain three OS synchronization
+   primitives"* and `k` = 3. Confirm you get three tight sub-task prompts back
+   (proof the planner ran on your key).
+2. Call `algernon_dispatch` with a small `tasks_json`, e.g.
+   `[{"id":"a","prompt":"Define a mutex in one sentence"},{"id":"b","prompt":"Define a semaphore in one sentence"},{"id":"c","prompt":"Define a spinlock in one sentence"}]`.
+   Confirm three results come back — the fleet ran them in parallel.
+3. Call `algernon_orchestrate` with any small goal and confirm it returns both a
+   plan and the collected results in one response.
+
+This exercises planning, parallel dispatch on your key, and one-shot
+orchestration without any production data.
+
+## Privacy
+
+Algernon is self-contained. It talks to exactly one outside host: **the LLM
+endpoint you configured** (Anthropic or your OpenAI-compatible base URL). It
+sends no telemetry, keeps no account, and stores nothing about you — results are
+computed and returned in the same call. Your sub-task prompts and results go
+only to your chosen provider.
