Seeker

Seeker Protocol — DCI-based (Direct Corpus Interaction) on-demand capability discovery for Mvge.

Instead of stuffing every tool description into the prompt, Seeker keeps the model's context lean and lets it search for capabilities when it needs them: ripgrep over the spell corpus, skill packages without vector databases or embeddings, and MCP servers mounted on demand.

Spells

Unified Lifecycle Spells

Spell Description
search Unified discovery across available Spells, Skills, and MCP servers.
activate Dynamically activates discovered Spells, Skills, or MCP servers into the active allowlist.
execute Directly executes scripts contained in discovered skill packages.
unload Evicts previously activated Spells, Skills, or MCP servers from the model allowlist.

Targeted Discovery Spells

Spell Description
tool_search Fast ripgrep discovery over available spells, with an exact-match fast path.
skill_search Search agent skills without vector databases or embeddings.
skill_execute Execute scripts contained in discovered skill packages.
mcp_search Discover, connect, and mount Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers on demand.

Spell gateway

Seeker declares "spell_gateway": true in its manifest, which makes it the engine's tool gateway: the model's spell view is narrowed to Seeker's registered spells, so discovery always goes through the protocol instead of around it. (Explicitly configured allowlists are never overridden; if several runes claim the gateway, the first one wins.)

Hooks

session_start, session_shutdown, turn_end, after_spell_result.

Prerequisites

rg (ripgrep) on PATH. It is a system binary, so it is declared as system_deps in manifest.json and index.json rather than installed alongside the Python dependencies, and mvge setup reports it as present or missing.

tool_search shells out to rg and has no fallback: without it the Spell returns rg not found on PATH instead of raising, so nothing else names the cause. skill_search prefers rg and falls back to a Python scan when it is absent.

Platform Install
Debian / Ubuntu sudo apt-get install ripgrep
Fedora / RHEL sudo dnf install ripgrep
macOS (Homebrew) brew install ripgrep
Windows (winget) winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC
Windows (scoop) scoop install ripgrep

Check with rg --version.

Dependencies

aiohttp, and the ripgrep (rg) binary above.
