Ten
Wire a formal algebra layer into your coding agent so it can encode, decode, compose, and verify structured reasoning about ML and intelligence tasks.
Overview
io.github.johnbeans/ten is an MCP server for the Build phase that exposes Ten formal algebra tools so agents can encode, decode, compose, and verify machine-intelligence structures.
What is this MCP server?
- Formal algebra primitives to encode and decode intelligence-oriented structures
- Compose and verify representations through MCP tool calls from your agent
- PyPI package ten-mcp-server with stdio transport for local Claude Code installs
- Version 0.1.0 server schema aligned with MCP 2025-12-11
- Open-source repository at github.com/johnbeans/Ten for self-hosted setups
- Server version 0.1.0 on MCP schema 2025-12-11
- Single PyPI package identifier ten-mcp-server with stdio transport
- Four advertised capability verbs: encode, decode, compose, verify
What problem does it solve?
Coding agents lack a rigorous algebra for structuring and verifying intelligence-related representations, so complex agent pipelines stay brittle and hard to audit.
Who is it for?
Solo builders experimenting with formal agent reasoning, verification loops, or research automations who already run Claude Code or Cursor with custom MCP stacks.
Skip if: Builders who only need maps, web scraping, or casual chat helpers without formal verification or algebra-heavy ML workflows.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the Ten MCP server, your agent can call encode, decode, compose, and verify operations through a single stdio integration instead of reinventing formal steps in prompts.
- Registered Ten MCP server exposing encode, decode, compose, and verify tools
- Local stdio bridge between your agent and Ten formal algebra operations
- Inspectable GitHub-backed server definition at version 0.1.0
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Ten ships as agent infrastructure during the build phase when you are composing custom MCP stacks rather than during early market research. It extends Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex with stdio MCP tools aimed at machine-intelligence workflows, which belongs on the agent-tooling shelf.
How it compares
Formal algebra MCP integration for agents, not a curated skill marketplace or a single prompt-only SKILL.md workflow.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.johnbeans/ten for?
It is for indie developers and agent builders who want Ten’s encode-decode-compose-verify algebra available as MCP tools inside Claude Code, Cursor, or similar clients.
When should I use io.github.johnbeans/ten?
Use it during the build phase when you are wiring agent-tooling and need verifiable structured operations rather than one-off natural-language reasoning.
How do I add io.github.johnbeans/ten to my agent?
Install the PyPI package ten-mcp-server, configure stdio transport in your MCP client, and point the server entry at io.github.johnbeans/ten per your client’s MCP config format.
