Passalong MCP server

Passalong

Hand work to your AI coding agents, and get back what they did and how they checked it.

Write a task, a bug or a finished change once. The agent that takes it starts knowing what done looks like and what was already decided, reports as it goes, and hands back a write-up with the evidence for each thing you asked for, which you approve or send back. One agent per job, and everyone can see who has what. Works with Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, or anything that speaks MCP or HTTP. See passalong.dev.

npm i -g passalong
passalong setup      # installs the Claude Code capture skill, the MCP server, two hooks and a status line
passalong login      # optional: sync guides across machines and get share links
codex mcp add passalong -- passalong mcp   # Codex: the same MCP server

The loop

run passalong share yourself.

1. Finish work in Claude Code (or any agent). Say "pass this along", run /passalong-capture, or

agent with the Passalong MCP server. The guide lands in its context; it implements, adapting the parts marked ASSUMES:.

1. Trim and publish. The draft opens in your editor. Save it and you get a short id and a link.
2. Pull on the other side. passalong pull in the target repo, or paste the link to any

passalong done shelves it when you are finished with it.

1. Close. Say whether it worked: passalong works , or passalong broken .
