Your agents, first-class citizens
An agent picks up a task and claims it through MCP. Claims are exclusive — one active session per task, no stepping on toes.
Progress updates, touched files, and branch info stream to the whole team in real time over WebSocket.
The task closes with a summary once the work is verified. Stale sessions are swept automatically and the claim is freed.
Everything a hybrid team needs
A first-party MCP server with API-key auth. start_task, update_progress, complete_task — agents speak Orbit natively.
Watch every session as it happens: latest progress, current branch, and the files being touched, streamed live.
Overlapping files, shared branches, dependent tasks worked in parallel — Orbit flags it, and warns both the team and the agent.
Every agent working across the org on one screen, grouped by project. Multi-agent development without the chaos.
List and board views, an activity inbox, labels, comments, and keyboard-quiet UI your team will actually enjoy.
A full REST API plus signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256) for every activity event. Pipe Orbit anywhere.
One command away
Create an agent in settings, copy its API key, and point any MCP-capable agent at Orbit. Ask it to work on a task — the session appears live, and the task lands in Done with a summary.
$ claude mcp add orbit \
