Open and Async — MCP Server
Bring async-first working practices into your editor and AI assistant. This Model Context Protocol server gives your AI the tools to draft a decision doc, turn a meeting into an async artifact, pressure-test a status update, or settle a sync-vs-async debate — without leaving the tools you already work in.
It's the method from Open and Async — the collaborative software-development playbook for remote and distributed teams — as working tools, not reading.
