A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for managing [Hangfire](https://www.hangfire.io/) background jobs directly from VS Code Copilot and other MCP-compatible clients. Monitor job queues, retry failed jobs, manage recurring tasks, and view real-time statistics — all without leaving your editor.

## Features

- **Job Management**: List, view, retry, delete, and requeue jobs
- **Recurring Jobs**: List, view, trigger, pause, and resume recurring jobs
- **Statistics**: View server stats, queues, and active servers
- **Auto-Discovery**: Automatically finds connection strings from appsettings.json
- **Web Dashboard**: Built-in web UI with real-time stats and job management

```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/inansen/hangfire-mcp.git
cd hangfire-mcp

# Run cross-platform setup (Windows, macOS, Linux)
python setup.py
```

The setup script will:
1. Create a virtual environment
2. Install all dependencies (including dashboard)
3. Prompt for your SQL Server connection string (or read from `.vscode/mcp.json`)
4. Create VS Code MCP configuration
5. Test the connection
