About MCP Orchestrator Server
MCP Orchestrator Server is a small MCP server for managing and coordinating tasks across MCP-enabled LLM instances such as Claude Desktop or Cline. It lets AI agents create, share and execute tasks between instances.
Key features
- 01Task creation with dependencies
- 02Multi-instance coordination
- 03Persistent task storage
- 04Dependency enforcement and cycle detection
- 05Task status tracking
Use cases
- 01Sharing tasks between Claude Desktop and Cline instances
- 02Having worker instances pick up and complete ordered tasks
MCP support
This is an MCP server that exposes tools such as create_task, get_next_task and complete_task to MCP clients for task management.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
