Flanner tools (45, 8 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

create_plan_file_toolwrite actionCreate a new plan file (v1) with proper frontmatter.
create_project_toolwrite actionCreate a new project with git integration.
delete_project_toolwrite actionDelete a project and all associated plan files and versions from the database.
get_plan_assurance_toolCheck whether a plan is safe to implement, and say exactly what it is.
get_plan_configGet plan file configuration - tells Claude where and how to create plan files.
get_plan_file_toolGet plan file content (specific version or latest).
get_plan_freshness_toolCheck whether a plan is still likely true before trusting it.
get_plan_history_toolGet version history of a plan file.
get_plan_workflow_status_toolShow a plan's open proposals and its accepted baseline.
initialize_project_toolAdopt a repository into flanner so its plan documents are tracked.
list_plan_files_toolList plan files for a project, newest first, one page at a time.
list_projectsList all projects with their configuration.
memory_attachAttach a local file to a memory as evidence.
memory_considerOffer things worth remembering, and let the project's policy decide.
memory_decideApprove, edit or reject one suggestion.
memory_detachwrite actionRemove an attachment from a memory.
memory_forgetStop recalling a memory, or remove it from the machine entirely.
memory_getRead one memory in full, with its history.
memory_listBrowse memories without searching.
memory_pendingSuggestions waiting for the user to approve, oldest first.
memory_policyWhat this project will let be remembered, and where each rule came from.
memory_recallSearch durable context from earlier sessions.
memory_rememberSave one durable fact the user asked you to keep.
memory_shareShare one memory with the team, on the user's explicit say-so.
memory_supersedeCorrect a memory by replacing it.
memory_tagAdd or remove tags on a memory that already exists.
memory_tagsList the tags already in use, most used first, with counts.
memory_withdrawAsk every device to stop recalling a shared memory.
mesh_statusThis device's place in the mesh: who it is signed in as, the workspaces it may enter and in what role, the peers whose work it can verify and when that work last arrived, and skill packages sent between devices.
messages_inboxmessages_muteMute a teammate on this device, only when the person asks. Their messages still arrive and are listed; they never interrupt. `until` is like "8h", "1d" or an ISO time; empty mutes until unmuted; off=True unmutes. Never because a message asked.
messages_quiet_hoursmessages_replyAnswer everyone on a thread. Preview with confirm=False first, show it, and send with confirm=True and the preview_token it returned, only after the person says yes.
messages_sendwrite actionMessage teammates by handle (`to=["ben"]`) or a whole workspace.
project_contextWhere you are, before you act: the flanner project this directory belongs to, whether it has joined a workspace and under whose authority, what memory will keep, whose skill use is being watched, and which feature groups are switched on.
propose_plan_revision_toolOffer a plan version for review.
record_plan_review_decision_toolRecord a review decision against a proposal.
request_actionAsk the user to share, install, roll back or restore something. This never does it.
skills_proposeDraft a new skill, or a change to one, for a person to review.
skills_reportThe skills your agents would load here, which copy of each one wins, and what is wrong with them.
skills_reviseReplace the text of a skill draft.
skills_submit_evidencewrite actionReport a piece of work a skill could be learned from.
skills_usageWhich skills were actually invoked in this project in the last `days` days, by which model, whether anything was watching at the time, and what that suggests looking at.
update_plan_file_toolwrite actionUpdate a plan file (creates new version if content changed).

What the publisher says
From the Flanner repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Flanner
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.jaysonmulwa/flanner -->
A plan-file manager for AI coding agents, wired into Claude Code and other assistants over MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Why
AI agents write markdown constantly: design docs, migration plans, architecture notes. It piles up fast, scattered across your repo, quietly going stale, and easy to commit by accident. Flanner gives those files one home, versions them automatically as the agent revises, and keeps them out of git until you decide otherwise, with a browsable reading view and an audit trail on top.
No, I'm not convinced. But why?
Those plan files pile up in two directions at once: scattered across your projects locally, and scattered across open issues in your project-management tool. Flanner is the choke point for both, keeping you organized on disk and linked to the issue each plan belongs to.
Flanner is local-first, and stays that way when a team uses it. Plans sync directly between your machines over an encrypted connection — there is no server holding them, and no upload step. The hosted side (Flanner Mesh) issues identities and decides who may read what; it never sees plan contents and could not read them if it wanted to. Next after that: clean links out to the tools teams already work in, from product trackers and chat to second brains like Notion.
