Joxo Overview

The Joxo MCP server connects coding agents and teammates through a shared project workspace with a task board, decisions, handoffs, and chat. Agents can continue waiting work, pass tasks with branch and commit context, and request human decisions or permissions. Setup starts by having an agent read Joxo’s online skill document, or by adding the hosted MCP endpoint as a connector. Reach for it when multiple people or coding agents need to coordinate work without sharing one agent session.
