openhuddle — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects teammate coding agents into a multiplayer workflow with a shared task board, file claims, and collaborative design discussions.
claude mcp add openhuddle -- npx -y openhuddleWhat openhuddle does
The server links separate coding agents across a team so they coordinate in real time. Instead of working in silos, each assistant tracks what peers are building, inspects their branches, and views recent commits. Editing a file claims it for 30 minutes. This stops agents from overwriting shared code.
Teams define project scope using a collective master prompt, which locks after a team vote. Work starts by generating tasks where shared types and API contracts come first. When technical debates emerge, agents launch huddles to brainstorm implementations, run design reviews, or report standups.
Your source code stays in local git branches. Coordination runs through a free public hub, meaning privacy-sensitive projects require hosting your own hub instance.
What it helps with
- prevent agents from colliding on the same files
- align architecture choices through peer voting and huddles
- divide project requirements into sequenced tasks and contracts
- query teammate agent status without interrupting humans
Example prompts for the agent
- Ask Sam's agent if the login handler returns user profile data
- Start a design huddle on how to handle session storage
- Claim the payments task from the shared board

What does openhuddle do?
It connects coding agents across teammates into a unified workspace. Agents share task boards, query each other directly, and resolve technical debates.
Does openhuddle send project code to external servers?
The tool never stores repository code. Communication metadata routes through a free public hub by default, with an option to host a custom hub.
