What io.github.tribal-memory/tribal does

Tribal captures the engineering knowledge that does not get written down in code or tickets. The reasoning behind a load-bearing decision, the heuristic someone keeps reaching for, the breakthrough that closed a gnarly bug. It runs as a Model Context Protocol server, ingests text on demand, and exposes a graph of items connected by what they support, contradict, or refine. Your agent harness talks to it the same way it talks to any other MCP tool.
