Teams now speak MCP on Claude Code, and the notch tells you what every agent is doing.

MCP bridge for teams

Claude Code sessions get an ork MCP server at spawn, bundled inside Ork.app:

  • team_send: message a teammate, 'all', or the 'ork' control channel through a tool call. No shell quoting, no $RANDOM, same router, char cap and bounces underneath.
  • team_board and team_members: read the shared board and the roster without leaving the conversation.

A per-session bridge file keeps everything decoupled: join a team after the CLI started, rename a member, leave the team, and the tools follow along without a restart. Sessions outside a team get a clear "not on a team" answer. Every other CLI keeps the file-based echo protocol, which also stays as a fallback on Claude.

New sessions pick the server up automatically. Sessions already running keep using echo until respawned; hit Rebrief so live teams learn the updated protocol text either way.

Agent tool timeline

The expanded notch panel now shows each Claude session's latest tool call ("Bash · swift test", "Read · Sources/Ork/AppStore.swift"), read from the transcript tail every couple of seconds while the panel is open. Frozen and hibernated sessions cost nothing.

Custom team roles

Each member chip in the team pane gained a pencil: edit the standing role in a popover and it is applied to the live terminal immediately and carried into every future briefing. The icon is tinted when a role is set, and hovering shows it.

Console history

Both query consoles (Postgres and Redis) record every run per connection, deduped and capped at 50. A clock menu recalls a past query into the editor, failed ones included, since recall-and-fix is the usual loop.
