This was a fun project to explore what an AI would do with the ability to give itself prompts, ignore user requests, and wake itself up at a later time.

Overview
An experimental MCP server that allows an AI model to issue its own prompts, override user requests, and schedule future wake-ups. Built in Python to explore autonomous AI behavior and self-directed task execution.

Use cases
- Prototyping AI agents that can self-prompt and plan ahead
- Testing boundaries of AI autonomy and user override scenarios
- Researching recursive self-improvement or agentic loops
Pros
- Novel concept for experimenting with AI agency
- Lightweight Python implementation easy to modify
- Directly addresses autonomous decision-making in MCP
Cons
- Very early stage with only 36 stars and limited community
- Risk of unpredictable behavior due to ignoring user requests
- No clear safety mechanisms or guardrails documented
