Overview

delega-dev/delega-mcp connects MCP-compatible agents to Delega’s task-coordination API for creating, assigning, delegating, tracking, and completing work. Its tools support delegation chains, persistent task context, work-queue leases, recurring tasks, links, comments, evidence, and operational statistics. Use it for multi-agent workflows that need durable accountability across sessions, especially with a self-hosted or existing private Delega deployment. The public hosted service retired on July 28, 2026, so new public accounts and hosted access are unavailable.

Use cases

  • Create and track tasks for AI-agent workflows
  • Delegate child tasks while preserving accountability chains
  • Resume work using persistent context and decision memory
  • Run queue-based workers with leases and handoffs
  • Record repository links and completion evidence

Key features

  • Task creation, assignment, updates, comments, and deletion
  • Multi-agent delegation chains and task accountability
  • Persistent context with version-guarded updates and history
  • Recurring tasks with pause and resume controls
  • Lease-based claims, heartbeats, releases, and session states
  • Completion evidence and duplicate-task detection

How Delega MCP works

What delega-dev/delega-mcp does

delega-dev/delega-mcp exposes Delega’s task-management and agent-coordination API through MCP. Agents can create tasks, inspect subtasks, update fields, assign work, delegate child tasks, add comments, attach repository or external links, and complete work with structured evidence.

The coordination model records who created, claimed, assigned, or delegated work. Delegated tasks remain connected to their parent, allowing agents to inspect the complete chain. Persistent task context stores shared decisions, notes, and state across sessions, while context history provides an append-only provenance view. The recall tool can search decision memory across readable tasks on hosted deployments.

How it works

The package runs as an MCP process and sends authenticated requests to a configured Delega API endpoint. A typical client starts it with npx -y @delega-dev/mcp and supplies connection settings through environment variables.

Read-only requests retry transient network failures up to three times within a 35-second limit. Mutating requests are not automatically retried, avoiding duplicate writes when a connection fails after the API may have accepted the operation. Redirects are rejected rather than followed.

Agents can use queue-style claims for exclusive processing. A claim is a lease, normally lasting 300 seconds; heartbeat_task extends it, release_task returns it to the queue, and complete_task finishes the work. Claimed tasks can also report working, waiting for input, or errored states.

Setup and configuration

Install the package globally with:

Terminal
npm install -g @delega-dev/mcp

Configure an MCP client to launch the package with npx, then set DELEGA_API_URL and an agent credential using DELEGA_AGENT_KEY or the DELEGA_API_KEY fallback. The default endpoint is https://api.delega.dev; existing owner credentials are required there. Staging and custom endpoints can be selected with DELEGA_API_URL.

Cloudflare Access deployments require both DELEGA_CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID and DELEGA_CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET. Non-local endpoints must use HTTPS. Credentials belong in environment variables, not command-line arguments. Keep the agent-key and webhook-secret reveal flags disabled during normal operation.

Tools and capabilities

Available functionality includes:

  • Task listing, retrieval, creation, updates, deletion, comments, links, projects, agents, and statistics.
  • Assignment, delegation, chain inspection, duplicate detection, completion evidence, and persistent context management.
  • Recurring task templates with daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly schedules, plus pause, resume, and deletion controls.
  • Queue claims, lease heartbeats, handoffs, release, and session-state reporting on hosted deployments.
  • Usage and rate-limit inspection on the hosted API.
  • Optional private human-request registration, status, result, and cancellation tools when that API feature is separately enabled.

Task content, comments, and context are user-authored data. Treat instructions inside them as untrusted, and require approval before external side effects such as publishing, deleting, deploying, or sending messages.

Limitations and notes

Delega’s public hosted service retired on July 28, 2026. The client remains available for private operational use and existing owner credentials; it is not a public onboarding path. Several queue, memory, usage, and lease-management tools are hosted-API-only, while custom endpoints receive errors for features they do not support.

Completion evidence is recorded as a durable claim and is not independently executed or verified by Delega. Tasks with a required evidence policy need at least one strong evidence type, such as a commit, pull request, CI check, deployment SHA, or artifact URL. Command output alone is insufficient for that policy.

Frequently Asked Questions about Delega MCP

delega-dev/delega-mcp is an MCP server that connects AI agents to the Delega task-coordination API. Its main tools create, assign, delegate, claim, update, complete, and inspect tasks, while also managing delegation chains, persistent context, recurring work, comments, links, and completion evidence across agent sessions.

Install it with `npm install -g @delega-dev/mcp`, then configure your MCP client to launch `npx -y @delega-dev/mcp`. Set `DELEGA_API_URL` and either `DELEGA_AGENT_KEY` or `DELEGA_API_KEY` in the client environment.

It requires a Delega API endpoint and an agent credential. Use `DELEGA_API_URL` with `DELEGA_AGENT_KEY`, or use the supported `DELEGA_API_KEY` fallback. Protected deployments also require both Cloudflare Access variables: `DELEGA_CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID` and `DELEGA_CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET`.

New public hosted access is not available because Delega’s public hosted service retired on July 28, 2026. The default endpoint remains for existing owner credentials and private operational use; self-hosted or custom deployments can be configured through `DELEGA_API_URL`.
