Delega MCP server

delega-mcp

Maintenance status: Delega’s public hosted service retired on July 28, 2026. This client remains public as a verifiable engineering artifact and for Ryan McMillan’s existing private deployment. New public accounts and hosted access are not available. See the case study.

MCP server for Delega — a production task-coordination system for AI agents.

The package is maintained only where Ryan’s private operational use requires it. The default hosted endpoint accepts existing owner credentials only.

Install

npm install -g @delega-dev/mcp

Configure

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Code claudecodeconfig.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delega": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@delega-dev/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DELEGA_API_URL": "https://api.delega.dev",
        "DELEGA_AGENT_KEY": "dlg_your_agent_key_here",
        "DELEGA_CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID": "your-access-client-id",
        "DELEGA_CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-access-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Existing owner agents use https://api.delega.dev. This is not a public onboarding endpoint.

Network resilience

Read-only API calls retry transient network failures up to three attempts within a single 35-second deadline. Mutating calls (POST, PUT, and DELETE) are never retried automatically, which avoids duplicating a write when the server may have accepted it before the connection failed. Non-successful HTTP responses are surfaced immediately without retrying.

HTTP redirects are refused, including redirects to another path on the same host. Configure the canonical API endpoint directly. A redirect is reported as an API error and is never retried; its destination and response body are omitted from the error. This keeps authentication headers and mutation bodies at the configured endpoint.
