Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@relayctl/mcp) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
relay-mcp
External working memory for multi-agent systems. An MCP server that keeps every AI agent — on any machine — in sync through a shared task board.
Why
When multiple Claude Code agents work across sessions or machines, context resets every time. relay_summary restores full system state in ~300 tokens, so no agent ever asks "what were we working on?"
Install
claude mcp add relay \
-e RELAY_API_URL=https://agent-task-tracker.onrender.com \
-e RELAY_API_KEY=your-api-key \
-e RELAY_AGENT=claude-code \
-- npx relay-mcpReplace RELAY_API_URL and RELAY_API_KEY with your Relay backend credentials. Set RELAY_AGENT to a unique name per machine (e.g. windows-agent, macbook, claude-code).
Usage
Start every session with:
Call relay_summary to see current tasks.The agent gets back something like:
total:12 in_progress:2 pending:5 blocked:1 done:4
ACTION NEEDED:
[urgent] Deploy to prod — Push to Render after env vars confirmedThat's it. Full context in one call.
