Overview

AI-generated overview

Perseus is a local context engine that gives an AI assistant MCP tools for workspace health, memory, skills and on-demand file trees.

What you can do
Check workspace health and status through the health tools. Store and recall context with the memory tools. Access skills exposed by the workspace. Browse file trees on demand rather than loading everything up front.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to work against a specific local workspace and keep persistent context, memory and skills available across sessions instead of re-reading files each time.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process installed from the perseus-ctx PyPI package, so a Python environment is needed. Requires the PERSEUS_WORKSPACE environment variable pointing at the workspace directory to serve context for. Desktop only; no web execution.
Before you install
The server reads from the workspace directory you point it at, so choose a directory that does not contain sensitive material you would not want exposed to the assistant. Memory tools may persist context between sessions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Perseus — Live Context Engine for AI Agents in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
