# Orbit

Lets an AI agent reach Orbit issues, boards and docs through OAuth. Useful when the agent should read the board and file work on its own.

## What it does

Orbit is a free task manager with issues, sprints, projects and docs. Its MCP server exposes that data to an agent, so it can see the board, pull context from existing tickets and create new work without you switching tabs.

Access runs on OAuth and is scoped to your account. The agent sees what you see and nothing beyond that. No separate API key to hand out: sign-in happens against `https://orbit.noveum.ai/mcp`.

Setup is a single HTTP transport command in `Claude Code`, Codex or Gemini CLI; Cursor and GitHub Copilot take a JSON block instead. The endpoint points at Noveum's hosted instance. Run Orbit yourself and this server won't talk to your copy.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://orbit.noveum.ai/mcp`
