MCP Workflow Tracker

by Aceek

Workflow Control

Orchestration + Observability for Agentic Workflows - Multi-agent workflow system with MCP tracking.

Overview

Workflow Control is a unified system that:

  1. Orchestrates multi-agent workflows (phases, sub-agents, coordination)

  2. Tracks everything via MCP tools + SQLite (decisions, progress, files)

  3. Visualizes workflows in real-time (WebUI dashboard)

Architecture

Monorepo Structure (pnpm workspaces)

workflow-control/ ├── packages/ │ ├── shared/ # Prisma schema + Types (source of truth) │ ├── mcp-server/ # MCP Server (tools for orchestration & tracking) │ └── web-ui/ # Next.js Dashboard ├── workflow-system/ # Workflow orchestration docs & templates │ ├── docs/ # Architecture, templates, profiles │ └── agents/ # workflow-architect agent ├── scripts/ # Setup & installation scripts └── .claude/ # Dev config for this project

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20+ (Download)

  • pnpm (npm install -g pnpm)

  • git

Automated Setup

# Clone the repository git clone <repository-url> cd workflow-control # Run the setup script ./scripts/setup.sh

The setup script will:

  • Check prerequisites (Node.js 20+, pnpm, git)

  • Install dependencies

  • Generate Prisma client

  • Run database migrations

  • Build the project

  • Create symlinks in ~/.claude/ for global access

Manual Setup

# Install dependencies pnpm install # Generate Prisma client pnpm db:generate # Run database migrations pnpm db:migrate # Build the project pnpm build:all

Configuration

MCP Server Configuration

Add Workflow Control to your project's .mcp.json:

# Interactive mode ./scripts/generate-mcp-config.sh # Or specify the project path ./scripts/generate-mcp-config.sh ~/my-project # Or manually create .mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "workflow-control": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/workflow-control/packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js"] } } }

The setup script creates symlinks for global access:

~/.claude/docs/workflow-system/ -> Workflow System documentation ~/.claude/agents/workflow-architect.md -> Workflow Architect agent

To manage symlinks manually:

# Create symlinks ./scripts/symlink.sh # Force overwrite existing ./scripts/symlink.sh --force # Remove symlinks ./scripts/symlink.sh --remove

Usage

Start the Web UI

pnpm dev:ui

Opens at http://localhost:3000

Verify MCP Server

./scripts/verify-mcp.sh # With verbose output ./scripts/verify-mcp.sh --verbose

Tech Stack

  • MCP Server: Node.js + TypeScript + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

  • Database: SQLite (local, no external server required)

  • ORM: Prisma (with TypeScript type-safe enums)

  • Web UI: Next.js 15 + Socket.io (real-time updates)

  • Git Integration: simple-git (snapshots/diffs)

Documentation

Technical documentation is in .claude/docs/:

  • architecture.md - System architecture

  • mcp-tools.md - MCP tools specifications

  • database.md - Prisma schema reference

  • standards.md - Code standards

Workflow System docs are in workflow-system/docs/:

  • architecture.md - Workflow orchestration patterns

  • templates/ - Workflow and agent templates

  • profiles/ - Simple, standard, and complex workflow profiles

Troubleshooting

MCP Server Not Found

# Rebuild the project pnpm build:all # Verify the binary exists ls -la packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js

Database Errors

# Regenerate Prisma client pnpm db:generate # Reset and migrate database pnpm db:migrate
# Force recreate symlinks ./scripts/symlink.sh --force # Check symlink targets ls -la ~/.claude/docs/workflow-system ls -la ~/.claude/agents/workflow-architect.md

Verify Everything Works

./scripts/verify-mcp.sh --verbose

Uninstall

# Remove symlinks ./scripts/symlink.sh --remove # Remove database rm packages/shared/prisma/dev.db # Remove node_modules rm -rf node_modules packages/*/node_modules
