Perseus eliminates cold starts by resolving workspace state before your AI assistant sees it. Instead of reading stale config files or burning turns on orientation, the assistant gets pre-rendered markdown with live data: which services are running, recent git activity, session checkpoints, and environment state. It exposes 24 MCP tools over stdio or SSE transport, including `perseus_services` for health checks, `perseus_query` for shell commands, `perseus_waypoint` for session state, and `perseus_get_context` for full workspace snapshots. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Hermes Agent, and other MCP clients. Reach for this when you're tired of explaining the same project context every session or want your assistant to know what's actually running right now.
