Handoff Mcp Server
Persist agent-to-agent handoffs and a shared scratchpad so multi-step Claude or Cursor workflows do not lose context between roles.
Overview
io.github.josephibra/handoff-mcp-server is an MCP server for the Build phase that stores durable agent-to-agent handoffs and a shared scratchpad for multi-agent workflows.
What is this MCP server?
- Durable handoffs between agents in long workflows
- Shared scratchpad for cross-agent state
- Hosted streamable-http endpoints (xpay.sh and Railway)
- Version 1.0.1 with GitHub source
- Designed for production multi-agent pipelines
- Server version 1.0.1
- 2 published remote streamable-http URLs
- GitHub repository josephibra/handoff-mcp-server
What problem does it solve?
Context collapses when you chain multiple agents or sessions and nothing reliably carries tasks, decisions, or partial work forward.
Who is it for?
Builders running planner–coder–reviewer stacks or several specialized agents on one product.
Skip if: Simple single-chat coding where paste-and-continue is enough, or teams that require fully self-hosted state with no third-party remote.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Handoffs and scratchpad notes persist across agents so your multi-step build pipeline stays coherent.
- Persisted handoff records between agent turns
- Shared scratchpad notes readable by downstream agents
- More reliable long-horizon multi-agent build sessions
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Multi-agent orchestration is core product infrastructure for agent-native apps; builders adopt this while assembling agent tooling. Handoffs and durable scratchpads are first-class agent-tooling primitives, not a one-off frontend task.
How it compares
Orchestration and state MCP, not a code-review or testing skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.josephibra/handoff-mcp-server for?
Solo and indie builders orchestrating multiple AI agents who need durable handoffs instead of fragile chat copy-paste.
When should I use io.github.josephibra/handoff-mcp-server?
Use it during Build agent-tooling setup when workflows split across roles or sessions and shared scratchpad state would reduce rework.
How do I add io.github.josephibra/handoff-mcp-server to my agent?
Add a remote MCP entry using the published streamable-http URL (production xpay.sh or Railway endpoint), authenticate per provider docs if required, then call handoff and scratchpad tools from your agent.
