How do I install the agenthold mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `AGENTHOLD_AUTH_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Agenthold MCP Server?

Shared versioned state for multi-agent AI workflows

What the server does

When two agents update the same value, the second write quietly destroys the first. No error, no exception, just wrong data and a system that keeps running. agenthold is an MCP server that gives agents shared, versioned state with conflict detection built in. Think of it as git for your agents' working memory.

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

Tool	What it does
agenthold_register	Register yourself and receive a unique agent ID. Must be called once before using agenthold_claim or agenthold_release.
agenthold_claim	Claim exclusive access to a resource before modifying it. Requires a registered agent_id.
agenthold_release	Release your claim with an explicit outcome describing what you did. The outcome is preserved in the free-state record and shown to the next claimant so they don't act on stale assumptions. Requires a registered agent_id
agenthold_status	Check whether a resource is available or currently claimed. Does not require registration.
agenthold_wait	Wait for a claimed resource to become available. Blocks the agent turn until the holder releases, or the timeout expires.
