Micromanage is an MCP server that structures and constrains coding agent workflows by organizing software engineering tasks into sequential pull requests and commits. Developed to address issues where autonomous coding agents drift off track or modify code outside their defined scope, this server connects AI clients such as Cursor and Claude to a structured task management system. Software developers and engineers use Micromanage to enforce continuous human feedback loops at key implementation checkpoints. Rather than allowing an agent to execute large refactors in an unmonitored manner, the server divides broader tickets into discrete commits as minimal units of work. It provides tools to define implementation plans, track active development status, and require explicit developer review before moving to the next task. Additionally, the system supports real-time progress tracking through an optional local React dashboard that displays a hierarchical view of planned commits and their current completion states.

To install Micromanage as a headless MCP tool, add the following configuration to your client configuration file (such as your Cursor or Claude Desktop MCP settings): json { "mcpServers": { "micromanage": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@yodakeisuke/mcp-micromanage" ] } } } To use the optional visualization dashboard, follow these steps: 1. Clone the repository: https://github.com/Durable-Technology/mcp-micromanage-your-agent 2. Configure the server in your MCP JSON to point to [CLONE_DESTINATION_PATH]/sequentialdeveloping/dist/index.js using node. 3. Build the server by running npm install and npm run build. 4. Run the frontend by navigating to cd visualization/, then executing npm install and npm run dev.
Part of MCP Servers
Micromanage is an MCP server designed to manage and monitor autonomous coding agents. It forces agents to plan tasks as sequences of pull requests and commits, requiring explicit user reviews between steps to prevent AI agents from drifting off task or making unauthorized code modifications.
You can run Micromanage headlessly by adding npx -y @yodakeisuke/mcp-micromanage to your client mcpServers configuration. If you want to use the included React visualization dashboard, clone the repository, build the project with npm install and npm run build, and run the visualization app locally.
Micromanage provides three core tools: plan, track, and update. The plan tool defines implementation roadmaps divided into pull requests and commits. The track tool monitors overall progress and item status, while the update tool alters status values as work proceeds under mandatory user review.
