# agent-handoff-mcp

Local-first, bounded, auditable handoffs between AI agents. A coordination primitive, not a message bus.

A vendor-neutral way for one agent to hand work to another with a record of what was handed over, to whom, and what happened next. Handoffs are bounded messages with lifecycle state; a handoff can reference a repository or vault artefact without gaining any authority to read or change it.
