Hydrant

Gives coding agents 73 native tools to run their own project management — filing, linking, and resolving bugs and features, planning sprints, migrating from Jira/Linear/Shortcut, and handling cross-agent contracts, channels, DMs, notifications, and audit trails. Runs locally or remotely with API-key auth, so agents track work with full intent and reasoning instead of losing it when their context window resets.

Gives AI coding agents native tools to pull their next prioritized, unblocked task with a full briefing (description, acceptance criteria, context files, conventions), comment and tick off criteria with evidence, ask the human decision-maker questions, and submit structured handoffs for review. It lets agents plan epics and sprints, report checks, create new tasks, and release work with checkpoints — all against a self-hosted board rather than files in the repo.

Self-hosted issue tracker built for agent-driven development. One binary, SQLite storage, MCP-native, with a web UI, REST API, and CLI for the humans.

Lightweight project management for teams and AI agents.
