The workflow this is built for is two assistants and one database: a planning model breaks a feature into tickets with the full plan in `agent_context`, and a coding agent picks each one up and executes it without regenerating the context. That is a real answer to the cost of re-explaining a project every session. Absolute paths in the config are the thing that trips up the first setup — relative ones silently fail.
A ticket tracking system that runs in your project directory with its own UI, designed so an assistant can create and read tickets over MCP. The distinguishing piece is the `agent_context` field: a place to store a long Markdown plan — filenames, line numbers, method names — attached to the ticket rather than held in the conversation.
- Tickets you can create, read, update and delete, for tasks, bugs and features
- Comments on tickets, so a thread of decisions stays with the work
- The `agent_context` field — extensive planning documents in Markdown, stored on the ticket instead of cluttering the conversation
- A Complexity Intelligence Engine that tracks how complex each ticket is
- A local UI on port 3000 for reading what the assistant wrote
- One shared database behind both surfaces, so a planning assistant and a coding agent read and write the same tickets
No account and no key. Node.js 14 or higher. `npm install @ownlytics/mcptix`, then run the `mcptix` command it installs — `mcptix init` to create the `.mcptix` folder, config and database, and `mcptix start` for the UI. The README reaches both through npx, which looks for an unscoped `mcptix` package npm does not have. Init also writes `.mcptix/mcp-server-config.json`, which is what you copy into your assistant's config — every path in it must be absolute, including the node binary from `which node`, the path to `dist/mcp/index.js` in `node_modules`, `MCPTIX_HOME_DIR` pointing at your project's `.mcptix`, and `HOME`. Your assistant launches the MCP server itself; `mcptix start` runs only the UI. Package `@ownlytics/mcptix`, marked beta, under BSL 1.1.
One command — npm install @ownlytics/mcptix
