Quarterback

Read the field. Call the play.

Strategic task prioritization and agent orchestration for multi-project operators.

Every other AI task manager breaks down one project into subtasks. Quarterback helps you decide which of your ten projects to prioritize right now — using a 5-factor weighted scoring engine, organizational context, and time-aware planning. It runs locally, costs nothing, and works as both a standalone CLI and an MCP server for Claude.

What Makes Quarterback Different

Quick Start

# Install
pip install quarterback

# Initialize (creates ~/.quarterback/)
quarterback init

# Interactive setup wizard — walks you through org, goals, workflows, projects, constraints
quarterback setup

# Add your first project and tasks
quarterback add "Launch landing page" --project "My Startup" --priority 4 --effort 3 --impact 5
quarterback add "Write blog post" --project "Content" --priority 3 --effort 2 --impact 3

# See what to work on

# Find quick wins
quarterback quick-wins

# Plan your day with time awareness
quarterback plan-day

LLM-Powered Setup (via MCP)

When using Quarterback as an MCP server, ask your LLM: "Set up Quarterback for me" — it will call the setup_quarterback tool, interview you conversationally about your business, goals, workflows, projects, constraints, and knowledge base (Playbook), then write all config files and database records in one shot. No manual YAML editing required.

MCP Server

Quarterback works with any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, OpenAI agents, and others. All 23 tools use standard MCP protocol (JSON-RPC over stdio) with no LLM-specific dependencies.

# Install with MCP support
pip install quarterback[mcp]

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quarterback": {
      "command": "quarterback-server"
    }
  }
}

Or for Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quarterback": {
      "command": "quarterback-server"
    }
  }
}

The same quarterback-server command works with any MCP client — just add it to your client's server configuration.

Then ask your LLM: "What should I work on today?" — it will use all 23 Quarterback tools to analyze your priorities.
