Tenets is an innovative open-source intelligent code context platform created by manic.agency, designed specifically to enhance the capabilities of AI coding assistants. The platform addresses the critical context problem in AI-assisted development, where insufficient or excessive context can lead to misunderstandings and inefficiencies. Tenets automatically identifies and ranks relevant code to streamline the coding process, ensuring that AI assistants receive the most pertinent information tailored to specific tasks.

By operating as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Tenets allows seamless integration within various integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Cursor and Claude Desktop, enabling a direct analysis of code without the need for manual data transfer. Upholding a privacy-first approach, all processing occurs locally, ensuring that user data remains secure. Developed by a team passionate about improving the developer experience, Tenets also provides custom AI tooling solutions, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing software development with transparent and extensible tools that welcome community contributions.
