Getting Started
Set up Fenix and connect your AI agent in under 2 minutes.
Fenix is an AI-native project management workspace built for teams that use AI agents. Every agent you work with gets direct, real-time access to your tasks, memory, docs, and rules through a native MCP bridge.
What you get
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| MCP Bridge | Any MCP-compatible agent reads your tasks, memories, and docs in real time |
| Semantic Memory | Context persists across AI sessions — agents remember your decisions |
| Rules & Skills | Shareable AI instructions and workflows, exportable to any agent |
| Kanban + Sprints | Full project tracking with boards, sprints, and burndown |
| Docs & Wiki | Built-in knowledge base linked to work items |
| CLI + TUI | Native terminal interface with vim motions, no browser needed |

Core concepts

└── Task / BugMemory
Structured context stored with semantic embeddings. When you save a decision, your agents can retrieve it in future sessions and avoid re-asking or contradicting past choices.
MCP Bridge
A local server exposing 68+ actions over the Model Context Protocol. Connect once and every MCP-compatible agent gets real-time read/write access to your workspace.
Quick example
Once the MCP bridge is running:
you: "what's blocking sprint 14?"
agent → reading sprint:S-14, memory:decisions…
2 blockers · PROJ-248 auth redirect, PROJ-251 cli autocomplete
both tied to decision "keep SSO on same domain"
→ answered from real project data · no hallucination
