# Kontinuo

> Kontinuo is a local-first continuity layer for AI coding agents. It creates verifiable checkpoints from agent sessions and workspace state, then serves handoffs over MCP so another agent can resume work safely.

## Core pages

- [Kontinuo overview](https://kontinuo.dev/): Product positioning, workflow, supported hosts, MCP handoff model, ACP support, and install path.
- [Kontinuo markdown brief](https://kontinuo.dev/kontinuo.md): Plain-text explanation of what Kontinuo is, who it is for, how MCP handoffs work, how to install it, and what it does not do.

## Install

Requires macOS or Linux. No cloud account is required.

Run:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://kontinuo.dev/install | sh
kontinuo setup --host claude --cwd . --config .mcp.json --store ./.kontinuo
kontinuo log --cwd .
```

Restart or reload your agent host so it starts `kontinuo mcp`.
