### Description (declared)

# WorkBay Orchestrator MCP

> **Component of the `workbay` stack.** You usually install `workbay`, not this package directly.

MCP server for orchestration, lane management, worker daemons, review dispatch, and ACE metrics.

## Installation

### From PyPI (recommended)

```bash
pip install mcp-workbay-orchestrator
# or, as an isolated tool:
uv tool install mcp-workbay-orchestrator
# or, ad-hoc without installing:
uvx mcp-workbay-orchestrator --help
```

`mcp-workbay-orchestrator` declares `mcp-workbay-handoff>=0.5.0,<0.6.0` as a
required dependency; pip resolves it from PyPI automatically.
`workbay-codex-bridge` remains optional unless you want the local
bridge backend.

### From the monorepo source tree (development)

From this package root inside `workbay`:

```bash
cd packages/mcp-workbay-orchestrator
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

When developing both MCP servers in lockstep, install the sibling
handoff package as an editable first so the orchestrator picks it up:

```bash
pip install -e ../mcp-workbay-handoff
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Development

Run package-local commands from the package root:

```bash
make lint-orchestrator
make fix-lint-orchestrator
make format-orchestrator
make mypy-orchestrator
make test-orchestrator
make check-orchestrator
```

The package Makefile keeps `workbay-codex-bridge` as an optional sibling source path for local bridge-backend development, but it expects `mcp-workbay-handoff` to be installed as a normal package dependency.

Direct commands also work:

```bash
PYTHONPATH=src python -m ruff check src tests
PYTHONPATH=src python -m mypy src
PYTHONPATH=src python -m pytest tests -q
```

## Token-Efficient Usage

For bounded reads and compact caller patterns, follow the shared guide in [`packages/mcp-workbay-handoff/docs/guides/token-efficient-usage.md`](../mcp-workbay-handoff/docs/guides/token-efficient-usage.md). The orchestrator package reuses that guidance instead of maintaining a separate copy of the same paramet…
