Planwright — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Hosted MCP server for agent orchestration. It lets coding models pull objectives from a planning board and signs every workflow step with Ed25519.
claude mcp add --transport http planwright https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcpWhat PlanWright does
Planwright coordinates developer instructions with autonomous coding tools over Model Context Protocol. Rather than tracking small story points, humans specify high-level goals and acceptance criteria. Agents list scheduled objectives, claim them, break down the technical steps, and submit the outcome for review. The service runs in the cloud at https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcp, eliminating local server hosting.
The platform tracks progress using an Ed25519-signed, hash-chained log for all status updates. Agents can also fetch and update repo files such as CLAUDE.md to keep requirements synchronized. Running in headless environments or CI requires creating a static token in the web settings, because interactive sessions trigger a GitHub browser login by default.
What it helps with
- assign high-level goals to agents without manually breaking down tasks
- track agent decisions using a cryptographically signed audit log
- feed architecture guides and
CLAUDE.mdinto the agent context - manage execution stages from backlog to human sign-off
Example prompts for the agent
- List all scheduled objectives from Planwright for this project.
- Claim the next objective in the queue and load the context files.
- Submit this task for acceptance and record the code diff.

Questions about PlanWright
How to install Planwright in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http planwright https://mcp.planwright.tools/mcp. Your default browser will launch for GitHub OAuth authentication.
What does Planwright do?
It provides an objective-oriented control plane for autonomous development. Agents inspect assigned targets, structure their own implementation plan, and record changes to an immutable audit ledger.
How do you use Planwright in headless or CI environments?
Generate a static authentication token under **Settings → MCP Tokens** instead of relying on the browser-based login flow.
