KeystoneMCP is a local-first production-context and project-management MCP server that gives AI assistants persistent memory for creative projects.
Connect it to Claude, Codex, or another MCP-compatible AI client to provide reliable context about projects, tasks, assets, versions, dependencies, workflow rules, approvals, and next production steps.
KeystoneMCP can create profile-based project folder structures, establish naming and path rules, and tell the AI exactly where source files, working files, reviews, publications, and deliverables should be saved.
It acts as the authoritative project-context layer across sessions. It does not replace your creative software or aggregate every tool. Your AI consults KeystoneMCP for production state while connecting directly to Houdini, Maya, Nuke, Blender, ComfyUI, and other tool MCPs.
Suitable for VFX, animation, game development, graphic design, photography, marketing, and other creative-production workflows.
KeystoneMCP helps an AI assistant understand:
What projects, assets, shots, deliverables, and tasks exist
Which versions are current or approved
What depends on what
Which work is blocked or ready
How project folders should be structured
Where source, work, review, publication, and delivery files should be saved
What the next valid production step is
What could be affected when something changes
Your AI client consults KeystoneMCP for project context, uses creative-tool MCPs directly, and records completed work back into persistent production state.
The launch version is free for eligible indie users to claim and keep for the next month.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on where project organization creates the most friction in your own AI-assisted workflows. Thanks for taking a look!
What stood out to me is that you're treating context as infrastructure rather than memory.
Most MCP discussions focus on giving AI more information. You're defining what the authoritative state of a project actually is, so every AI client starts from the same source of truth. That's a much more interesting problem than persistent memory alone.
