Koskamo

handoff-desk MCP

A vendor-neutral MCP server that facilitates asynchronous task handoffs from coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex to a personal agent. It writes tasks as markdown notes to a local folder, optionally sends an email notification, and reads back the agent's reply. It operates without hosted services, accounts, or telemetry, ensuring data remains on the user's disk.
