# (midland) Foundation

> Foundation is a typed context layer your agents read over MCP. Install it, fill a workspace, and keep it current with routines.

## Docs

- [Midland Foundation](https://midland.md/docs): Foundation is a framework for a context layer shared across all your AI tools, agents, workflows and users.
- [How it works](https://midland.md/docs/how-it-works): How data is read and saved, how the structure grows, the two rules every response obeys, and Foundation versus memory and graphs.
- [Getting started](https://midland.md/docs/getting-started): Set up and deploy a working context layer your AI tools can read from and write to, in about fifteen minutes.
- [Building context](https://midland.md/docs/building-context): Structure and upload the context you already have, so every agent on the team can read it.
- [FAQ](https://midland.md/docs/faq): Frequently asked questions. Feel free to ask more.
- [Self-hosting](https://midland.md/docs/self-hosting): Run Foundation on your own infrastructure. What you bring, and where the instructions are.
- [Assisted rollout](https://midland.md/docs/assisted-rollout): Some teams would rather have help setting up and deploying their context layer.

## Concepts

- [Data model](https://midland.md/docs/concepts/data-model): How Foundation structures and stores your shared context, and the rules that keep you in control of it.
- [Members and Roles](https://midland.md/docs/concepts/members-and-roles): Admins, members and couriers. Who may create, who may write, and how an automated writer is treated.
- [Console](https://midland.md/docs/concepts/console): The admin surface that shows what the workspace holds, who is in it, what has happened and every entity's settings.
- [Requests](https://midland.md/docs/concepts/requests): What happens when the workspace does not hold something an agent went looking for, how the miss is recorded, and how an admin turns it into an entity.
- [Connector](https://midland.md/docs/concepts/connector): The MCP endpoint every host connects to, how it authenticates, and the seventeen tools it serves.
- [Routines](https://midland.md/docs/concepts/routines): A script you author with a coding agent and Foundation runs on a schedule, so a metric or a list stays current without a person.

## Examples

- [Examples](https://midland.md/docs/examples): Recipes you replicate with a prompt. Each links a skill your agent reads before it starts.
- [Backfill invoices](https://midland.md/docs/examples/backfill-invoices): Load an invoice export into a list, one entry per invoice, named and searchable, with the raw fields kept.
- [Feed a metric](https://midland.md/docs/examples/feed-a-metric): A pipeline that writes one number a day from an analytics query, authored as a routine.
- [Terminology scan](https://midland.md/docs/examples/terminology-scan): A routine that reads your documents for words the glossary does not define and proposes them, for an admin to accept.
- [Golden harness](https://midland.md/docs/examples/golden-harness): A nightly check that an agent connected to the workspace answers from it, graded deterministically.
- [Slack Q&A bot](https://midland.md/docs/examples/slack-qa-bot): A bot that answers questions in a Slack channel from the workspace, and says plainly when the workspace does not hold the answer.
- [Meeting transcripts](https://midland.md/docs/examples/meeting-transcripts): Every meeting your notes tool records becomes a list entry, kept current by a routine, with re-runs that update rather than duplicate.
