ad_hoc

MCP tool from Papi by getpapi

record quick work done outside the cycle so it shows in project history.

How to use it

Project documentation lists ad_hoc for the Papi MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
