MCP Playbooks for AI agents

curl -LsSf https://director.run/install.sh | sh

Overview

Director allows you to provide playbooks to AI Agents. A playbook is a set of MCP tools, prompts and configuration, that give agents new skills. You can connect Claude, Cursor and VSCode in 1-click, or integrate manually through a single MCP endpoint.

Playbooks are portable and can easily be switched in and out of context. Director is local-first - setup and client integration takes 30 seconds. In addition, Director provides all of the MCP management functionality that you'd expect: tool filtering, logging, strong isolation, and unified OAuth.

Core Concepts

Playbooks

A playbook is a set of tools, prompts and configuration, used to provide specific capabilities to your agent. Under the hood, playbooks are built on top of the MCP tools & prompts primitives.

The easiest way to author a playbook is via the UI (director studio). But you can also use the CLI. You can have many playbooks, typically one per task or per environment. You can connect to them via a single CLI command or directly over a URL.

Architecture

At a high level, Director is a service that sits between your agents and MCP servers. It's transparent to clients, requiring no additional tokens. It models playbooks, which can be thought of as standalone, portable skills that enhance your AI agent with new capabilities.

Usage

Installation

# Install the director CLI + dependencies (node, npm & uvx) via the 1-liner:
$ curl -LsSf https://director.run/install.sh | sh

# Alternatively, install through npm:
$ npm install -g @director.run/cli

# Start director & open the UI
$ director quickstart

The Studio (Web UI)

The simplest way to interact with director is via the admin interface:

# Open studio in your browser
$ director studio
