A2CR
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.a2cr/a2cr-mcp -->
A2CR is an open-source local MCP workspace for AI agent handoffs. It lets Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-capable agents save WorkBaton checkpoints, store temporary WorkStash notes, coordinate through WorkThreads, and resume long coding work from a fresh AI window.
Long AI work usually breaks at the handoff. A fresh AI window needs the goal, current state, decisions, blockers, validation, and next action, but not a whole noisy transcript. A2CR keeps that handoff state compact, explicit, and safer to share between sessions.
Use A2CR when you want to:
- restart a long AI coding task from a clean context window
- pass work state between Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP client
- keep milestone checkpoints without storing full chat transcripts
- separate compact resume state from optional supporting notes

Directory Status
A2CR is published in the official MCP Registry as io.github.a2cr/a2cr-mcp. The local-only 0.1.8 public release is live on PyPI, GitHub Releases, and the official MCP Registry. See the distribution inventory for the current registration and mirror status.
A2CR is also listed and evaluated on the Glama MCP Registry. Downstream directories may temporarily show cached metadata after a release; the official MCP Registry and this repository are the source of truth.
Local Storage Boundary
A2CR now treats the local workspace as the public product boundary. The public a2cr-mcp wrapper stores WorkBaton, WorkStash, WorkThread, actor, and event records in a SQLite database on the user's machine. It does not require an A2CR account, API key, hosted relay, dashboard, or cloud sync path.
The earlier hosted/SaaS relay path is being retired from the public distribution. New public setup, MCP Registry metadata, and Anthropic Directory submission work should use the local wrapper only.
Quickstart
Choose the local MCP distribution path that matches your AI client:
Keep the Python wrapper version and Node MCPB compatibility version aligned. For the current public release, both the Python wrapper and Node MCPB compatibility version are 0.1.8.
Python wrapper install:
python -m pip install --upgrade a2cr-mcpRegister A2CR for Codex and verify the local workspace:
a2cr init codex --local
a2cr doctor --target localOpen the local browser dashboard:
