mcp-subagents

MCP stdio server that exposes a planner tool plus recursive code/analysis subagents. It is built for Codex MCP-server mode: start the process and point your MCP-capable client at stdio.

Features

• Planner tool that decomposes tasks and delegates.

• Code and analysis subagents that can delegate recursively (depth limited).

• Session-aware scratchpad persisted to data/sessions/*.json.

• Uses MCP client sampling (no server-side API key needed).

• Includes a patch-package fix for GHSA-8r9q-7v3j-jr4g (UriTemplate ReDoS) in @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1.

Requirements

• Node 18.18+.

• MCP client capable of createMessage (Codex CLI covers this).

Quickstart

cd my-repos/mcp-subagents
npm install
npm run dev   # or: npm run start after npm run build

Expose via Codex MCP server mode by pointing to the stdio command above.

Tools

• planner(task, context?, session_id?, max_depth?) – orchestrates the plan and delegates.

• subagent(role, objective, context?, session_id?, max_depth?) – run a specific role directly.

• session_log(session_id?) – read persisted scratchpad.

• session_clear(session_id?) – drop persisted scratchpad.

max_depth defaults to AGENT_MAX_DEPTH env (3). Session IDs let multiple conversations stay isolated.
