chAIrman adds 54 tools to Claude Desktop through the Model Context Protocol. Spawn autonomous agents, build pipelines, track costs, and monitor everything from a real-time dashboard — all from your existing Claude Desktop setup.
Claude Desktop supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets external tools plug directly into Claude's interface. When you install an MCP server, Claude gains new capabilities: it can call tools, read data, and interact with external systems without leaving the conversation.
chAIrman is an MCP server purpose-built for orchestration. Instead of adding a single capability like file access or web search, it adds an entire management layer. Claude becomes a CEO that can hire, direct, and monitor a workforce of AI agents — each one a full Claude Code process working autonomously in your project directory.
One MCP plugin, six categories of tools, and a full web dashboard. Here is what Claude gains the moment you install chAIrman.
Create projects, set budgets, manage backlogs with milestones and tickets. Every project gets its own state, cost tracking, git history, and team. Organize multiple codebases under one orchestrator.
Hire agents with roles, fire them to archive, replace crashed agents with handoff inheritance. Batch hire entire teams. 10 pre-built role templates cover frontend, backend, QA, DevOps, security, and more.
Assign tasks with automatic queuing. Wire agents into dependency chains so work flows sequentially. Monitor real-time activity feeds, check outputs, and inspect queued work. Auto-retry on failure with configurable limits.
Structured handoff documents, CEO notes for cross-session persistence, alumni archives for veteran agents, and a message board for team communication. Your project context survives across chat sessions.
Per-agent efficiency scores, project throughput, system-wide cost trends. Health monitoring detects zombies, memory issues, blocked pipelines, and high error rates. Desktop notifications on macOS for task events.
857 skill files across 24 categories — from frontend design to PDF generation to iOS development. Skills are auto-discovered and injected into agent prompts based on task keywords. Your agents always have relevant knowledge.
Most MCP servers add a single capability. chAIrman adds an entire operating layer.

| Skills library | None | 857 skills, auto-injected by relevance |
| Setup time | Varies | Under 2 minutes |
The moment chAIrman starts, a local dashboard launches at localhost:3456. It updates in real time via WebSocket — no polling, no refreshing. You see agent status changes, cost updates, and task completions the instant they happen.
The dashboard is not a replacement for Claude Desktop — it is a companion. You issue commands through Claude's chat interface using the 54 MCP tools. The dashboard gives you the visual overview: a kanban board of your team, live terminal output from any agent, pipeline visualizations, git commit history, and project architecture views.
