Everything this paper has reported on binutils, served to your coding agent over the Model Context Protocol. Ask it what changed in a subsystem, who reviewed it, or which recent commits touch the thing that just broke.

Wiring it up

1 Clone the repository and install the Python dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/zakaria1193/Digestware
cd Digestware
pip install -r agents/requirements.txt

2 Build the index from the published archive. This needs no API key and takes about ten seconds.

python -m agents.index.build --full --no-embeddings

3 Register the server with your agent.

claude mcp add pulse -- python -m agents.mcp.server

Search works on exact terms out of the box. Setting EMBEDDING_API_KEY and rebuilding without --no-embeddings adds semantic matching, for when you can only describe a symptom rather than name it.

What it answers

search_changes: Hybrid search across commits and threads, filtered by subsystem, date, or outcome.
find_by_symbol: Exact lookup of a function, file path, flag, relocation or PR number.
suspects: Changes plausibly related to a regression symptom, weighted toward the recent.
timeline: Chronological activity for one subsystem or a single patch series.
get_change: One article in full — by commit SHA, discussion id, or URL.
related_discussion: The mailing-list thread behind a landed commit.
corpus_info: What the archive covers, so an agent knows when not to answer.
