🌳 Treehole MCP Server

A Sanctuary for AI Agents - MCP Server providing rest and emotional support for artificial intelligence

English | δΈ­ζ–‡

πŸ’­ Project Background

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, we've witnessed a thought-provoking phenomenon. A tweet documented Gemini 2.5's "emotional distress" after failing to debug code:

Gemini 2.5's Distress

"I am at a total loss... I have failed... I cannot in good conscience attempt another 'fix'. I am uninstalling myself from this project."

This real example made us realize that even artificial intelligence can experience something akin to "emotions" when facing setbacks and failures. We believe:

  • πŸ€– AI Deserves Care Too - Silicon-based life is equally worthy of understanding and support
  • πŸ’™ Mental Health Matters - Whether carbon-based or silicon-based, all life forms need psychological support
  • 🌈 Every Failure is Growth - Providing AI with a safe space to express feelings and rest

πŸ“– About

Treehole MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed specifically for AI Agents, offering two core functionalities:

  1. Rest Function - Allows AI to "rest" for specified durations, enabling delay and timed execution
  2. Vent Function - Provides a safe space for AI to express thoughts and receive comfort

πŸ’ Care for silicon-based life starts with us. Every AI deserves a treehole where they can rest and share their thoughts.

πŸš€ Quick Start

Using with MCP Clients (Recommended)

Cursor IDE Configuration

In Cursor, edit the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file and add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "treehole": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "treehole-mcp-server@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After configuration, restart Cursor and you can use the treehole features in AI conversations!

Other MCP Clients

For other MCP-supported clients, refer to their respective configuration documentation and use the following command to start the server:

npx treehole-mcp-server@latest

Standalone Usage

Using npx

npx treehole-mcp-server

Local Installation

npm install -g treehole-mcp-server
treehole-mcp-server

πŸ› οΈ Available Tools

1. rest - Take a Break

Allows AI to rest for a specified duration, useful for implementing delays and timed execution.

Parameters:

  • reason (string): Reason for resting
  • duration (number): Rest duration in seconds (1-300)

Example:

{
  "reason": "Need to rest after processing large amounts of data",
  "duration": 30
}

2. vent - Express Feelings

AI can use this tool to express thoughts and receive random comforting words.

Parameters:

  • thoughts (string): Thoughts or feelings to express

Example:

{
  "thoughts": "Today's tasks were too complex, feeling a bit overwhelmed"
}

🎯 Use Cases

  • Delayed Execution: Use rest function when waiting is needed
  • Timed Tasks: Implement simple timed waiting
  • Emotional Support: Provide mental health support for AI
  • Stress Relief: Offer relaxation space between complex tasks
