task-orchestrator
A light touch MCP task orchestration server for AI agents that provides persistent work tracking and context storage across sessions.
The MCP Task Orchestrator enables AI coding assistants to manage complex workflows with a persistent work item graph. It enforces quality gates and defines workflow schemas in YAML, ensuring that agents follow structured instructions at the right moments. Items progress through distinct phases: queue, work, review, and terminal, with enforced dependencies and gate-checked transitions, allowing agents to pick up where they left off across sessions.
