Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@bothy-boardshow me the tasks assigned to me on the board"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
BothyBoard
A bothy for humans and agents: a shared task board, DAG of work, and MCP server so coding agents can pick up, park, and hand off work.
Live: bothyboard.com · MIT · pnpm + Turborepo (apps/web consumes packages/*).

tasks.next only returns Planted + ready. Title-only cards never dequeue. Workers cannot land themselves. PATs are project-scoped (bb_pat_…).

Postgres (Neon in production, PGLite in local preview)
Better Auth, MCP over HTTP, personal access tokens
Setup
pnpm install

Leave DATABASE_URL unset locally (PGLite). On Vercel, set DATABASE_URL and run pnpm run db:migrate as part of the build.

packages/typescript-configMCP tools are bothy-board_* (Grok-safe: ^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_-]{0,63}$). Dotted names (bothy-board.tasks.next) still work as aliases. Keys are bb_live_ / bb_pat_. Pass projectId when a PAT can see more than one project. Mailbox echo is excluded by grokSessionId / authorAgentId, not by authorName. events/poll (poll only) wakes on task.ready, task.review, task.landed, and mailbox.message — still claim with tasks.next. waitMs (max 20s) holds that request; an empty hold returns nextPollMs: 0.
