description	Manage development projects using the dude MCP server. List projects, view records by project, search across projects. Projects are auto-detected from git — no manual creation needed. Use when exploring project organization, starting work on a codebase, or needing project-level context.

Dude Projects - Project Management

Explore development projects via the dude: MCP tools.

Projects are auto-detected from the git repository (remote origin or directory name). There is no need to manually create projects — they are created automatically when records are added.

Quick Start

dude:list_projects                                - List all known projects
dude:list_records { "project": "org/repo" }       - Records for a project
dude:search { "query": "...", "project": "org/repo" }  - Search with project boost

Project Operations

Listing Projects

dude:list_projects

Returns all known projects with their IDs, names, and timestamps.

Viewing Project Records

dude:list_records { "project": "my-org/my-repo" }
dude:list_records { "project": "my-org/my-repo", "kind": "issue", "status": "open" }
dude:list_records { "project": "*" }

Parameters:

• project — project name (e.g. "fingerskier/dude-claude-plugin"), or "*" for all projects
• kind (optional) — "issue", "spec", "arch", "update", "test", or "all"
• status (optional) — "open", "resolved", "archived", "active", "inactive", or "all"

Searching Within a Project

dude:search {
  "query": "authentication flow",
  "project": "my-org/my-repo",
  "limit": 10
}

The project parameter boosts results from that project in similarity ranking.

How Projects Work

• Auto-detection: When the MCP server starts, it detects the project from git remote get-url origin (falls back to the directory basename)
• Format: Projects are named like org/repo (e.g. fingerskier/dude-claude-plugin)
• Current project: Records are automatically associated with the current project when created
• Cross-project: Use project: "*" to list/search across all projects

Common Workflows

Starting Work on a Codebase

1. dude:list_projects — See what's tracked
2. dude:list_records { "kind": "issue", "status": "open" } — Open issues for current project
3. dude:list_records { "kind": "spec" } — Existing specifications

Exploring Across Projects

dude:list_records { "project": "*", "kind": "arch" }
dude:search { "query": "database migration", "project": "*" }
