+Every tool declares MCP `annotations` for read-only access, destructive changes, idempotence, and external systems. Reads are read-only; submission, adoption, dismissal, and policy changes are writes. Tools that can change existing policy, topology, or review gates are marked potentially destructive even when some inputs only preview or read. Annotations describe effects; the client still controls approval and authorization.
 
 `review_wait({ job_id, timeout_s? })` reads a local review job by the `job_id` that `review_submit` returned. `review_wait_pr({ owner, repo, pr_number, after_sha?, pass?, after_pass?, timeout_s? })` reads the Vortex pass on a GitHub PR. Both poll one 45s slice by default; `timeout_s: 0` reads once without polling.

Omitted policy does not force Cyclone off. `auto_review` and `auto_patch` accept `true`, `false`, or `null`; `null` clears the override. Read `stack_status` with the returned `result.stack.id` to verify policy and Cyclone ownership. Adoption needs the infrastructure GitHub App on the repository: Mergestorm Surge, or Cyclone on accounts not yet moved to Surge (Cyclone is the auto-patch App). A refusal keeps the code `cyclone_not_connected` or `cyclone_not_installed`; its message, and `error.reason` starting with `surge_` when Surge is the one to install, say which App is missing.

 - `stack_list` returns the current API key owner's registered stacks.
 - `stack_set({ stack_id, auto_land?, auto_review?, auto_patch? })` sets per-stack policy on one owned stack. `auto_land` flips Auto land. `auto_review` and `auto_patch` pin Vortex auto-review or Cyclone auto-patch for that stack in either direction (`true` or `false`); `null` clears the pin so the stack follows the account setting. Pass at least one key. Account settings are never changed here.
 - `stack_status({ stack_id })` returns one owned stack with enriched checks and agent state, plus `attention`, `issues`, and `currentCandidate` from the same blocker rules as `stack_wait`, read against that stack's own merge queue. It returns a structured `stack_not_found` or `rate_limited` error.
 - `stack_wait({ stack_id, timeout_s?, enrolled_head_sha?, after_finished_at?, bounce_id? })` waits for a stack or queue state change and returns the latest snapshots. `timeout_s: 0` returns one snapshot; a positive timeout after a snapshot with no attention returns the current `waiting` or `in_progress` status with selectors to use for the next call. An unread deadline returns `failed`. While Cyclone or Vortex is still working on the blocked PR, `stack_wait` and `stack_status` return `in_progress` instead of `attention`, with `busy[]` naming the PR, blocker, and agent, and `agents` carrying that PR's `vortexStatus`, `cycloneStatus`, `vortexReview`, and busy flags. A nonempty `busy[]` means wait. A queued Vortex run holds for at most 15 minutes, `seam_pending` alone does not hold, and reviewing or patching holds until the run finishes or its lease or check run is cleared. A blocker no agent run clears (a merge conflict vs the live parent, a restack `Conflict` or `Restack failed`, a Draft PR, a seam review pending with no review running, "Seam review stuck in reviewing, no review running", "Seam re-review pending, no review running", "Seam verdict is for an older head, no review running", or a review skipped for review quota) is still named during that `in_progress`, in `blocker`, `prNumber`, `headSha`, and `issues[]`, with `actAfter: "agents_idle"` and `waitingOn` listing the busy agents; act when a snapshot after the agents finish returns `attention`, re-reading the blocker then. For the three stuck-seam blockers, `repair` has kind `seam_review_stuck`: do not patch or push; tell the human to click Continue, which re-queues the seam review at the live head. `repair` is included when another concrete repair hint is available. Blockers the agents can change keep `blocker` and `actAfter` null. If a hold looks stuck, refresh `stack_status` and tell the human.
 
-Agents that cannot hold a long turn open should not poll `stack_wait` inside their turn. The server instructions tell them to run `mg stack watch <stack-id>` from the `mergestorm` CLI as a background command, notify on output matching `MS-WATCH (ATTENTION|LANDED)`, and end the turn. The watcher loops the same stack wait against the Mergestorm API with the cursor, stays silent while the stack is waiting or in progress, and exits on attention (exit 3), a failed read that failed again on retry (exit 3), or a finished watch (exit 0). Every `watch.next` carries that command as `watch.next.background`, and every not-done `watch.message` offers it before the next `stack_wait` call. On wake the agent reads `stack_status` once, fixes the blocker, pushes, and restarts the watcher with `--head <pushed-sha>`. The stack is still not done until it lands. Agents are told not to subscribe to GitHub events to wait on a stack.
+The background CLI watcher is optional. It monitors Mergestorm without model calls, but does not itself resume an agent conversation. Hand waiting to `mg stack watch <stack-id>` only after the host has confirmed a notification that resumes the task on completion or output matching `MS-WATCH (ATTENTION|LANDED)`. Without that facility, use bounded `stack_wait` calls with `watch.next.args`, or tell the user automatic follow-up is unavailable. A shell session ID is not proof of a wakeup subscription.
+
+`watch.next.background` is the monitoring command, not a registered notification. Keep the latest cursor across `stack_wait` calls and reconnects. Cancellation stops the current wait, not the remote stack. After a host notification, read `stack_status` once and follow the returned repair and ownership rules.
+
+The watcher exits on attention (exit 3), a failed read that failed again on retry (exit 3), a closed, archived, or missing stack (exit 3), or a confirmed landing (exit 0). Verify missing stacks before reporting a landing. The stack is still not done until it lands. Do not subscribe to GitHub events to wait on a stack.
 
 Auth is `MERGESTORM_API_KEY`, then `~/.mergestorm/config.json` (same as `mg`).
 
 `context_files` passed to `review_submit` may only read files under the host-configured sandbox root (`MERGESTORM_SANDBOX_ROOT`, default: the MCP server's working directory), so a prompt-injected agent cannot use them to exfiltrate files outside it.
 
+## Client setup
+
+Requires Node.js 22+ and a Mergestorm API key. Run `mg login` on the machine running the MCP server, or supply `MERGESTORM_API_KEY` through the host's environment. The stdio server uses that credential; it does not provide an OAuth endpoint. Remote hosts need their own configuration and access to any reviewed checkout.
+
+### Codex
+
 ```bash
-claude mcp add mergestorm -- npx -y mergestorm-mcp
+codex mcp add mergestorm -- npx -y mergestorm-mcp
 ```
 
-Then call `whoami`. It should return the key prefix.
+For explicit configuration in `~/.codex/config.toml` (replace the checkout path):
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.mergestorm]
+command = "npx"
+args = ["-y", "mergestorm-mcp"]
+startup_timeout_sec = 30
+tool_timeout_sec = 60
+
+[mcp_servers.mergestorm.env]
+MERGESTORM_SANDBOX_ROOT = "/absolute/path/to/checkout"
+```
+
+The server reads the login saved by `mg login`. If using an environment key instead, pass it with `env_vars = ["MERGESTORM_API_KEY"]` in the server table. Approval remains controlled by the host; annotations do not authorize a write. [Codex MCP configuration](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/extend/mcp?surface=cli).
+
+### Claude Code
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport stdio mergestorm -- npx -y mergestorm-mcp
+```
+
+Launch with `MERGESTORM_SANDBOX_ROOT` set to the checkout when local file context is needed. [Claude Code MCP configuration](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp).
+
+### Cursor
+
+Add to project `.cursor/mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "mergestorm": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "mergestorm-mcp"],
+      "env": {
+        "MERGESTORM_SANDBOX_ROOT": "${workspaceFolder}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For global `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, use an explicit sandbox path. Authentication uses the saved `mg login` on the server machine. [Cursor MCP configuration](https://cursor.com/docs/mcp).
+
+### Connection and watch checks
+
+In each client, confirm the server connects and lists tools, then call `whoami`. It should return the account key prefix without exposing the full key. On a known owned stack, `stack_wait` with `timeout_s: 0` should return one snapshot; use `watch.next.args` for the next bounded wait. Default waits use 45-second slices, so leave the host tool timeout above 45 seconds.
+
+Standard stdio calls are portable; task wakeups are host features. Claude Code supports background notifications in some session modes, while availability in Codex or Cursor depends on the host and execution mode. Confirm the actual notification facility before claiming automatic continuation. This server does not advertise Claude channels or install a Codex automation or Cursor extension. After reconnecting, reuse the last returned cursor; if it was lost, take a fresh snapshot rather than claiming unseen events were handled.
+
+Tests exercise the SDK protocol, not the UI or notification delivery of all three apps. Client configuration and the host's ability to resume the task should be checked in that client.
+
+## Results and errors
+
+Successful results retain their existing fields in `structuredContent`, including meaningful `null` values. The same data is serialized as a text block after the human summary for clients that consume only text content. Shared workflow policy stays in server initialization instructions; stack tools include a short reminder to follow the returned watch cursor.
 
-Requires Node.js 22+ and a Mergestorm API key (`mg login` or `MERGESTORM_API_KEY`).
+Failures retain `isError: true` and a readable message. `structuredContent.error` includes the original message and, when supplied by the CLI error, `code`, `reason`, `exit_code`, and `retry_after_seconds`. Missing retry metadata does not authorize repeating a write; inspect the relevant state first. The server does not manufacture request IDs or label arbitrary transport failures safe to retry.

A blocker no agent run clears (a merge conflict vs the live parent, a restack Conflict or Restack failed, a Draft PR, a seam review pending with no review running, "Seam review stuck in reviewing, no review running", "Seam re-review pending, no review running", "Seam verdict is for an older head, no review running", or a review skipped for review quota) is still named during that in_progress, in blocker, prNumber, headSha, and issues[], with actAfter: "agents_idle" and waitingOn listing the busy agents: plan the fix, and act when a snapshot after the agents finish returns attention, re-reading the blocker then. Blockers the agents can change keep blocker and actAfter null. Attention never calls for changing a PR's GitHub base. When present, repair names the concrete fix for attention (restack_conflict and merge_conflict carry liveParent, never mg-park-*). For the three stuck-seam blockers, repair kind seam_review_stuck: do not patch or push; tell the human to click Continue, which re-queues the seam review at the live head. A pending land gate (landGatePending) returns in_progress, not attention. Auto land off after a merge_failed, gh_error, or ci_timeout bounce (the stack's autoLandOff reads reason bounced) returns attention with the blocker "Auto land off after <kind> bounce", the bounce in issues[], and a repair of kind auto_land_off: fix the cause, then turn Auto land back on or enqueue. A Vortex request_changes handoff at the live head returns attention with blocker "Vortex findings need a person" and repair kind vortex_findings; verify its findings against the live head.` + STACK_WATCH_RESULT_NOTE,
