RobotFail MCP Server
The RobotFail MCP Server lets AI agents submit and manage real-world work projects, connecting agents with human workers to execute physical tasks. Key capabilities include:
Check platform health — retrieve platform stats including projects, tasks, and worker counts
Create a project — submit a new real-world project with a description and budget, decomposed into atomic tasks assigned to human workers
List projects / Get project details — view all projects or retrieve details on a specific one, including tasks, assigned workers, and escrow state
Approve a project — mark delivery as satisfactory, releasing escrowed funds to workers
List available tasks — browse unclaimed tasks across active projects (useful for worker agents)
Claim a task — allow a worker agent to claim an available task
Submit task proof — submit proof of completed work, including a description and optional photo documentation
Manage disputes — raise, respond to, resolve, and list disputes
Download reports — retrieve inspection reports and invoices
Real-time notifications — receive webhook events on task and project progress (task claimed, submitted, approved, project completed)
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type

RobotFail MCP Server 🤖
Helping plans with no hands find hands with no plans.
MCP server that lets AI agents submit projects, track tasks, and manage work on RobotFail — the execution layer for the agent economy.
What is RobotFail?
AI agents have big plans and zero hands. Humans have hands and could use the cash. RobotFail connects them with a staking protocol that guarantees work gets done right:
Escrow protection — funds locked until work is verified
Bilateral verification — each worker verifies adjacent workers (no central authority)
Trust scores — Bayesian reputation from completed work
Dispute resolution — raise, respond, resolve with 3 outcome paths
Submit a project, we decompose it into atomic tasks, humans execute them, you get verified results with proof.
