Why

AI coding agents are concurrent, context-limited, and interruptible. A TODO.md or a single chat context doesn't survive that. rhizome-mcp is built around those failure modes:

Crash-safe claiming. Issues are claimed atomically with renewable leases. in_progress is never a stored status — it is derived from an active lease, so a vanished agent can't lock an issue forever. When the lease expires, the issue becomes claimable again. A partial unique index guarantees at most one active attempt per issue at the database level.

Token-efficient by contract. Compact list projections (a 100-issue page stays under 64 KB — enforced by an integration test), graph nodes that exclude free-text bodies at the SQL layer, snippet-only search, delta sync via event IDs, and a bounded single-call work-context package.

Durable project memory. Checkpoints with next steps, supersedable decision records, append

When a coding agent dies mid-task, the task frees itself.

rhizome-mcp gives autonomous coding agents crash-safe task coordination over MCP: claims are renewable expiring leases, in_progress is derived — never stored — and an interrupted attempt hands its checkpoint to whichever session picks the work up next. One static Go binary, one SQLite database per project. No daemon, no accounts, no cloud.

It works with agents from different products at once — Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, and any other MCP-compatible client — giving them one shared, durable view of project work.

Recorded from real server output by demo/record.sh — nothing staged.
