Codon MCP

Your coding agents need a shared plan.

Codon coordinates Codex, Claude Code, and the other coding agents already on your machine. One board. Clear ownership. A review gate before the work is done.

Mission ready

6 ordered tasks across Scout, Builder, and Reviewer roles.

01

Detect

Find the coding CLIs and subscriptions already available locally.

02

Plan

Break a mission into Builder, Scout, and Reviewer work.

03

Dispatch

Put every assignment on one project-local task board.

04

Review

Check completed work before a task is allowed to close.

Install

Running in a few minutes.

Codon is a small stdio MCP server. Your client starts it when a chat needs it; there is no daemon to manage.

Codex · Windows

Add an MCP server

Tested
  1. 1. Open Settings → MCP servers → Add server.
  2. 2. Name it codon.
  3. 3. Enter the command and arguments below.
  4. 4. Restart Codex, open a new chat, then enter /mcp.
Command:   cmd
Arguments: /c npx -y codon-mcp

Verified with GPT-5.6 Sol. If another model does not expose local MCP tools, switch to a Codex model and start a new chat.

Claude Code

Add from your terminal

Run this in the project you want Codon to coordinate:

claude mcp add codon -- cmd /c npx -y codon-mcp

macOS or Linux:

claude mcp add codon -- npx -y codon-mcp

Use --scope user before -- to make it available across projects.

Any MCP client

Use standard JSON configuration

Save this in the client's local MCP configuration. On macOS or Linux, use npx directly.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codon": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "codon-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Real output

This six-task plan came from a live Codon MCP call in Codex. Models were matched to the role and priority of each task.

Local-first by design

The board, agent status, usage records, and provider credentials stay on your machine.

Codon works with the coding accounts and project files you already control. It does not proxy model requests or upload provider credentials. Planning and review run through your locally installed, signed-in Claude Code CLI.

Plus checks send only your Gattaca API key to the license endpoint. Project data is not included, and successful checks are cached for up to five minutes.

Ready when your agents are

Give every agent the same map.

Install Codon free, detect what is already available, and add Gattaca Plus when you want mission planning and review.
