# Oboe MCP

Structured one-by-one workflows for coding agents.

MCP server for durable one-by-one review workflows, with prioritized session state for coding agents.

Provides 20 tools for creating, navigating, and resolving items in priority-scored session files, including blocked-item handling, first-class approval updates, and nested child sessions.

Licensed under `AGPL-3.0-or-later` with commercial licensing available.
See `LICENSE` for full terms.

## PyPI Package

Install or run Oboe MCP directly from PyPI using either of these alternatives:

- Run it without installing: `uvx oboe-mcp`
- Install it into your current environment: `pip install oboe-mcp`

Installing `oboe-mcp` also installs the `oboe-cli` command:

```bash
# After pip install oboe-mcp
oboe-cli --help

# From PyPI 
uvx --from oboe-mcp oboe-cli --help

# From a local checkout (no install needed)
uvx --from /path/to/oboe-mcp oboe-cli --help
```

## CLI Reference (`oboe-cli`)

Installing `oboe-mcp` also installs `oboe-cli`, a human-friendly command-line
companion for the same session files the MCP tools operate on.

```bash
oboe-cli [--session SESSION] [--base-dir DIR] COMMAND [ARGS...]
```

Global options:

| Option | Description |
| ------ | ----------- |
| `--session SESSION`, `-s` | Session filename (e.g. `session_20260411_120000.json`) or absolute path |
| `--base-dir DIR`, `-b` | Project root containing `.github/oboe_sessions/` (defaults to CWD detection) |

**Base-dir auto-detection**: when `--base-dir` is omitted, `oboe-cli` uses the
current working directory if it contains a `.github/oboe_sessions/` folder,
otherwise it falls back to the working directory as-is.

### Commands

| Command | Description |
| ------- | ----------- |
| `sessions` | List all sessions (supports `--status active\|paused\|completed\|in…
