PlanWright
Control plane for autonomous software labor. Agents claim objectives over MCP with audit trail.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http planwright 'https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"planwright": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcp"
}

Planwright
Control plane for autonomous software labor.
Planwright is the objective-native planning board for agent-led software development. Humans define outcomes at the Objective layer; coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and others) claim work, decompose tasks, execute, and report back via native MCP—with every state change captured in a hash-chained, Ed25519-signed audit trail.
Quick Start
Claude Code (recommended)
claude mcp add planwright https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcp
Your browser opens for GitHub login. That's it.
Other Agents
See the full agent setup guides for Cursor, Codex, Claude Desktop, and generic MCP clients.

Key Features
Objective-Native, Not Task-Based No story points. No velocity charts. No capacity planning. Agents decompose objectives into tasks themselves—you manage outcomes, not effort.
Immutable Audit Trail Every state change produces a hash-chained, Ed25519-signed audit record. Know exactly what the agent planned, what it changed, and when.
Native MCP Integration Agents connect via the Model Context Protocol—no custom API clients needed. Works with any MCP-compatible agent.
Multi-Agent Support Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Factory, Amp—if it speaks MCP, it can work from your Planwright board.
Context Files Push CLAUDE.md, architecture docs, and specs to Planwright. Agents read them before starting work.

MCP Server
Planwright's MCP server is hosted and managed—no self-hosting required.
| Endpoint | Protocol |
|---|---|
https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcp | Streamable HTTP |
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591). Your agent opens a browser for GitHub login on first connection.
For CI/CD and headless environments, generate a static token in Settings → MCP Tokens.
