Best for
  • Developers maintaining a personal or team library of prompts and agent templates
  • Users of Claude Desktop/Cursor who want prompt management exposed as an MCP tool
  • Projects using claude CLI orchestration with specialized subagents
  • Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
  • Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
  • Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
Not for
  • Teams needing a hosted/multi-tenant prompt service (enterprise AWS features live in a separate archived module)
  • Users wanting database-backed prompt storage (prompts are plain JSON files)
  • Non-technical users unfamiliar with configuring MCP client JSON files
  • Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
  • Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
  • Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
Required permissions
  • Local filesystem read/write access to the configured PROMPTS_DIR
  • Ability to execute the Node.js server process
  • The orchestration script additionally invokes the local claude CLI
  • Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
  • Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
  • Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
  • Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
Risks and side effects
  • Prompts and agent templates are stored as plain JSON files with no access control described
  • create_prompt/update_prompt/delete_prompt let a connected client modify or remove local files with no confirmation step described in the README
  • No authentication mechanism is documented for the stdio server itself
  • Enterprise/AWS deployment features exist but are only referenced as archived, without detail in the main README
  • Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
  • Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
  • Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
  • Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
