MCP Orchestration — MCP orchestration is the practice of coordinating AI coding agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — a standard interface that lets tools expose context and actions to agents, so a platform can dispatch work, supply execution context, and collect results from agents like Cursor or Claude Code in a uniform way.
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how an agent connects to external context and tools. MCP orchestration uses that standard as a control plane: instead of each developer wiring agents up ad hoc, a platform exposes a per-project MCP server that any compatible agent can connect to.
Through that server, agents fetch their next work order, pull the execution manifest (the full context they need), ask clarifying questions, and report results — all governed centrally. This is how an organization turns individual agent usage into orchestrated, observable delivery.
Skaftor runs a per-project MCP server and a thin CLI over it, so coding agents and terminals share one programmatic surface for executing and reporting work orders.
MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI agents connect to external context and tools. It lets a platform expose data and actions to any MCP-compatible agent through a uniform interface, avoiding bespoke integrations per agent.
