Tower Overview
The Tower MCP server coordinates coding agents working on the same repository through claims, messages, delegated tasks, and a shared web board. Agents declare files or symbols before editing, allowing Tower to reject hard collisions and warn about softer overlaps. Delegated work can run on another teammate’s machine and return a task update with a commit SHA. Reach for it when multiple agents or developers need to divide work without silently editing the same code.
Primary Use Cases for Tower:
- Prevent agents from editing the same symbols concurrently
- Delegate coding tasks to a teammate’s agent
- Share task updates and commit SHAs across a team
- Monitor active claims and messages on a web board
