What is the Writbase MCP Server?

MCP-native task management for AI agent fleets with scoped permissions and provenance.

What you get

A control plane for AI agents and human supervisors. Persistent task registry with scoped permissions, inter-agent delegation, and full provenance — all accessible via MCP.

One source of truth — — Tasks live in Postgres, not scattered across files and chat threads
Scoped permissions — — Each agent gets exactly the access it needs, nothing more
Full provenance — — Every change is recorded: who, what, when, and why
Inter-agent delegation — — Agents can assign tasks to each other with depth limits and cycle detection
MCP-native — — Agents connect via the Model Context Protocol, no custom integration needed
