## Details

Built to enable simple commands like "log this project" in Claude, automatically writing entries to the artlu.ai database—eliminating the need for manual input through the Firebase Console.

**Recent improvements (April 2026)**
- `add_project` now auto-generates a kebab-cased slug from the project name (mirrors `add_journal_entry`'s existing behavior). Removes the manual backfill step previously required after MCP-created projects.
- `update_project` regenerates the slug automatically when a project is renamed.
- Codex compatibility: the same local Node server + Firestore credentials work in Codex sessions, not just Claude.

**Tool surface**
10 tools: `add_project`, `list_projects`, `get_project`, `update_project`, `list_projects_with_ids`, `add_journal_entry`, `list_journal_entries`, `get_journal_entry`, `update_journal_entry`, `delete_journal_entry`.
