casefile

Casefile is a self-hosted MCP server and web board that maintains a case file for every task. It records the decisions, failed attempts, findings, and open questions that agents write down as they work. When a session ends, the next session—whether the same agent, an agent from another vendor, or a person—reads the latest summary and open questions and carries on. The system is MIT-licensed and does not assign or schedule work. It is designed for agents that work on tasks spanning multiple sessions, and it supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any other MCP client. Casefile runs locally in Docker and listens on localhost only, so nothing leaves the computer unless sign-in is enabled and it is placed on a server for team use. It provides guardrails such as requiring a summary and a passed verdict per check before closing a task, and preventing the start of blocked tasks. The tool is not a notes file, memory server, issue tracker, or orchestrator; it is an append-only work log per task, read in a fixed order.
