showrunner

A tiny always-on MCP server that coordinates multiple coding-agent sessions on one project (a "show"). Deploy it once. Then, from inside any project repo, tell any agent session, local or cloud, Claude Code or Cursor, "you're a showrunner worker" and it registers, starts pulling tasks, and reports back; tell a second session "you're the showrunner director" and it takes over planning: breaking work into tasks, reviewing results, answering blockers. State lives on the server, not in any session, so sessions are cattle: kill one anytime and a new one picks up exactly where it left off. One SQLite file, one read-only dashboard, a small fixed MCP tool surface.

The callboard: a director and three workers across Claude Code and Cursor, tasks moving through the columns, and a blocker escalated to the human

Get started

  1. Paste into any coding agent with shell access (Claude Code, Cursor), from inside the project repo you want coordinated:

    Set up showrunner for me. Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/khou/showrunner/main/docs/SETUP.md and follow it: deploy the server to my Fly account, verify it, initialize this repo as a show, and become the idle director. Ask me before anything that costs money or edits config outside this repo.

  2. Paste into each session opened in this repo that you want doing work:

    You're a showrunner worker: register on the showrunner MCP now, then loop forever -- await_work, plan the task and record the plan with update_task, execute it, update_task, await_work. Don't just acknowledge this; start polling immediately. Finishing a task is never a reason to stop; only eviction or my stop message ends the loop.

  3. Tell the director (the setup session from step 1) what you want built, and watch it happen on the callboard link it gave you.

    Enables coding agents in different editors and MCP clients to share messages, project context, notes, task ownership, handoffs, and advisory file claims through a local SQLite-backed coordination server. Supports MCP stdio, MCP Streamable HTTP, a JSON HTTP API, and a local CLI for multi-project agent collaboration.

    Lets multiple agent clients running on one machine or across a LAN register identities, designate one as master and the rest as subagents, and coordinate work through task dispatch, claim, progress reporting, messaging, rooms, and a shared versioned blackboard backed by SQLite. Supports both stdio with a shared database and Streamable HTTP so many clients can connect to a single hub.
