A remote MCP for Steve Yegge's Beads
View on GitHub ↗A TypeScript HTTP MCP server built from nickytonline/mcp-typescript-template. Agents share Beads tasks through eleven tools; Node executes the installed bd CLI without a shell.
This project was inspired by a livestream with Trillium Smith, where they mentioned building a Beads MCP. Credit to Trillium for the inspiration—and to anyone who explored this idea before them. This project makes no claim to originating the idea of exposing Beads through MCP.
I wanted to build a general-purpose Beads MCP using my TypeScript MCP template: a starting point that anyone can use, adapt, and extend for their own agents and workflows. Beads itself was created by Steve Yegge.
One server process, one replica, one process-wide FIFO queue for all Beads commands, including reads and compound operations. Embedded Dolt is a single-writer store. Do not run another MCP instance, CLI process, or backup job against it concurrently. The queue has a 100-operation admission limit; each CLI subprocess has a 30-second timeout and a 4 MiB output limit. A timeout or invalid output can leave a write's outcome uncertain: inspect the task before retrying.
Transport uses the template's stateless Streamable HTTP adapter at /mcp. GET /health checks process liveness; startup verifies the initialized store before listening. Health does not continuously query the database. Logs omit task inputs and subprocess stderr.
