Checklist Overview

The checklist MCP server manages reusable checklists and dated runs with pass, fail, or not-applicable results. It copies checklist steps into each run, preserving the exact version used even if the checklist later changes or is deleted. Reach for it when a job needs repeatable checks, recorded findings, and a sign-off history. It runs locally, or through a hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint with a token.
