MCP tools and resources

25 tools, a set of docket:// resources, and 3 prompts. Each is named for what the caller is trying to do.

Tools

Reading: 5 tools

Tool	Does
`workspaces`	Lists the workspaces you belong to. Usually the first call.
`find`	Searches the workspace and ranks the results.
`list_work`	Lists rows matching exact criteria.
`get`	Returns one entity in full, by ID or by name.
`brief`	Returns what needs you today.

find reads the same permission-filtered index the web app reads. That index updates a moment after a write.list_work filters on team, project, assignee, delegate, state, priority, label, cycle, due window, blocked-ness, and the triage queue. Pass a filter the chosen entity has no column for and the call fails, naming the filters that entity does support.get returns a task with its dependencies and subtasks, and lists the references you cannot see in missing.

Writing: 9 tools

Tool	Does
`capture`	Creates a task from a sentence.
`organize`	Applies a whole plan in one call. Re-runs create no duplicates.
`update`	Changes work you describe in words.
`comment`	Adds threaded discussion.
`report_status`	Posts an update. The verdict you set becomes the item’s health.
`link`	Links Docket work to Docket work.
`archive`	Archives work.
`plan_day`	Creates the day’s plan.
`undo`	Reverses a change set.

Every write records an undoable change set. Call undo once and Docket reverses forty edits.

Time and reflection: 2 tools

Tool	Does
`track`	Records time against work. See Time.
`retrospect`	Returns a retrospective for a period.

Repeating work and processes: 3 tools

Tool	Does
`define_process`	Defines a process.
`schedule_process`	Schedules a process to run.
`repeat_task`	Makes a task recur.

Agents, sessions, and connectors: 6 tools

Tool	Does
`run_agent`	Starts an agent session.
`manage_session`	Approves, rejects, or redirects a running session.
`link_external`	Links a GitHub or Linear item onto Docket work.
`acknowledge_directive`	Acknowledges a directive.
`pause_athena_assignment_trigger`	Pauses a trigger on your Athena assignment.
`remove_athena_assignment_trigger`	Removes a trigger on your Athena assignment.

Resources

The same data, read as resources. An item you cannot see looks like one that does not exist.

URI	Contents
`docket://orgs`	Every workspace you belong to
`docket://hub/today`	Your daily plan
`docket://hub/inbox`	What needs a response
`docket://hub/directive`	The current scheduling directive
`docket://hub/portfolio`	Every workspace’s programs and projects

Everything else is templated:

docket://{org}/{type}/{id}

Where type is one of task, project, program, initiative, cycle, team, update, comment, session, agent, view, or org.

Subscriptions

Call resources/subscribe, then open the GET /mcp stream and Docket sends notifications/resources/updated. Delivery is best-effort and never replayed. Read the resource again when one arrives.

Prompts

Prompt	Purpose
`docket_system`	The Docket system prompt
`task_brief`	A brief on one task
`standup`	A standup summary

Widgets

Hosts that render MCP Apps get UI resources under ui://docket/* for every entity type, plus work lists, plans, and change reports. Other hosts get the structured results.

Server capabilities

tools.listChanged, resources.subscribe, resources.listChanged, prompts.listChanged, completions, and logging. A deployment flag turns on experimental MCP task support.

tools/list returns only the tools your grants allow. Change one and Docket sends notifications/tools/list_changed immediately.
