SYNAPSE CHANNEL MCP Server

The local-first coordination bus for fleets of AI agents. One WebSocket hub is the shared source of truth for presence, file-scope claims, a shared plan, task status, and capabilities - for agents working in one repository or across a whole ecosystem of them.

People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
