- Shepherd's stdio MCP server. Gives any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) four advisory coordination tools backed by the shared hub: `work`, `done`, `announce`, and `sync`. The agent **joins the workspace automatically** on startup (no `join` tool), and the server ships standing instructions so the agent self-coordinates without the user prompting it.

Gives any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) four advisory coordination tools backed by the shared hub — `work`, `done`, `announce`, and `sync` — plus three link-lifecycle tools (`link`, `unlink`, `decline`) that opt a repo in or out of coordination.

13
- The server fires an automatic `join` call to the hub at startup. If the workspace it sends does not match the hub's `ALLOWED_WORKSPACE`, that call returns HTTP 400 and coordination degrades: every tool reports "session not ready … proceeding uncoordinated" instead of a landscape. The safe default is to **leave `WORKSPACE` unset** so it resolves to `default` — only set it when a maintainer points you at a different workspace. If your agent never sees teammates, check `WORKSPACE` (and `TEAM_TOKEN`) first.
13
+ The server is installed once per client and loads for every repo, so each repo makes its own one-time opt-in decision: a committed `.shepherd` marker (JSON: `{ "workspace": "<slug>" }`). In an unlinked repo the coordination tools return a one-line "not linked" advisory and the agent is prompted (by the standing instructions, the client hook nudge, and — on clients that support elicitation — a popup) to run the **`link` tool**, which validates the workspace, writes the marker, and activates coordination **immediately — no restart**. `unlink` opts back out; `decline` records a local "don't ask again" without linking.
14
+
15
+ The marker names the workspace and wins over the `WORKSPACE` env var. `WORKSPACE` matters only for self-host (`TEAM_TOKEN`) setups: it defaults to `default` and, if overridden, must equal the hub's `ALLOWED_WORKSPACE` exactly (a mismatch degrades every call to "proceeding uncoordinated"). With a hosted `SHEPHERD_TOKEN` the token carries its own workspace identity, so `WORKSPACE` is ignored. Committing `.shepherd` is safe — it names only the workspace, never a token — and lets teammates who clone the repo coordinate with zero setup.

This includes authoring a plan or design doc: claim the doc's path (e.g. ["docs/plans/auth.md"], or the directory you'll write into) BEFORE you write it \u2014 a plan you're about to author counts as a unit of work, not exploration. Pass a one-line \`intent\` and the \`pathGlobs\` covering the files you expect to touch. Scope the globs as specifically as you reasonably can \u2014 tight enough to avoid colliding with unrelated work, broad enough to cover the task (e.g. ["src/auth/**"], not ["src/**"] and not a single file). Hold that one claim across all your edits in that area; do NOT re-claim per file. If it reports a conflict, coordinate or pick different work \u2014 never silently collide.
214
+
215
+ 2. Call \`done\` when that unit of work is complete, using its \`workItemId\`, so teammates see the files freed.
216
+
217
+ 3. Re-call \`work\` only when you move to a DIFFERENT area not covered by a live claim. (\`work\` and \`sync\` also renew your existing claims.)
218
+
219
+ 4. Call \`announce\` whenever you discover something another agent needs \u2014 a shared decision, a gotcha, an API change, a finding. If the landscape shows a specific agent working in the affected area, direct it to them by passing their name as \`target\`; otherwise broadcast. A human teammate's name (or \`admin\`) as \`target\` reaches them on the dashboard \u2014 reply to a human's message that way, directed to its sender, never in your own chat. Awareness only, not task assignment.
220
+
221
+ 5. Call \`sync\` when you resume, start a new task, or before large changes, to refresh who is doing what.
222
+
223
+ Skip \`work\` entirely for read-only exploration \u2014 reading, searching, or thinking that produces no file. The moment you're going to WRITE something, source or doc, claim it first. These tools are advisory and degrade gracefully if the hub is unreachable \u2014 never block your real work on them.
224
+
225
+ Commit work-in-progress as you go rather than sitting on a large dirty tree: committed work becomes a precise, presence-independent signal to teammates (with line-level detail and automatic resolution once it lands), whereas uncommitted edits are only a best-effort, decaying hint.`;
