Conductor
Claude's hands for local automation — with a web dashboard for the humans who watch it.
Conductor gives Claude direct, persistent control of a local task runner. Tell Claude what you want automated; it creates the scheduled workers, builds multi-step pipelines, wires up email reports, fires test runs, and reads back the logs when something fails — all through conversation. A web dashboard at 127.0.0.1:5000 runs alongside it for humans who want to peek at status, click pause, or hand-edit a worker.
Originally built to automate warehouse reporting workflows (the daily ShipExec metrics pull) and now general-purpose: any Python / batch / shell script, any schedule, any chain.
The MCP server lives in this repo (server.py) — the thin layer that exposes Conductor's REST API as Claude tools. It's bundled and auto-registered on install, so most users won't need to touch it directly. The separate conductor-mcp repo is deprecated — it holds an older copy without the auto-launch race protection.
Claude Integration
Conductor registers itself as an MCP server in Claude Desktop on first launch. After restarting Claude Desktop once, Claude has 21 tools for full control:
Example conversation:
You: Run my metrics script every night at 8:30 PM and email me the report
Claude: I'll set that up using the Run + Email template.
(creates the worker, configures the schedule, wires up Gmail, fires it to test)
Done — worker "Daily Metrics Report" is live. Check your email for the test run.
You: That uptime check keeps failing. What's going on?
Claude: (pulls the last 10 runs, reads the error logs)
The site returned a 503 three times in the last hour. The SSL certificate expired yesterday. Here's the full error from the last run...
You: Chain my backup script and cleanup script together. Run backup first, then cleanup after it finishes. Every day at 2 AM.
Claude: (creates a chain with stage 0 = backup, stage 1 = cleanup, cron schedule "0 2 ")*
Chain "Nightly Maintenance" created with 2 steps. Backup runs first, cleanup runs after it succeeds.
How it works:
- Install Conductor (Windows installer or from source)
- Conductor writes its MCP entry to Claude Desktop's config on first launch
- Restart Claude Desktop once
- Claude now controls Conductor through natural language — create workers, build chains, fire tasks, check logs, send emails
