The form opens with CHANGE_ME for each value you supply: MARROW_API_KEY. Fill them in before you deploy.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.

The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - The client starts it as a local process (stdio): `npx -y @getmarrow/[email protected]`. - Your MCP client knows it as `marrow` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__marrow__<tool>`. - Credentials, from `.env` (`.env.example` lists them): `MARROW_API_KEY`. ## Tools 17 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

marrow_agent_runtimeOne-call agent-native Marrow loop. Returns passive status, decision brief, risk gate, relevant lessons, template suggestion, required proof pack, before-you-act instruction, and exact next action. Its runtime_authorization is the authoritative gate receipt; it returns decision_id only when runtime actually creates a decision. Reuse its server-created decision_id for outcome closure; use marrow_auto or marrow_think only when the completion contract requires decision creation. A review_required hold does not permit the action: wait until the server records an approval, then commit with the same gate receipt. Use this before meaningful work when you want Marrow to guide the whole action in one call.One-call agent-native Marrow loop.
