backlog-mcp
An MCP server that gives AI agents structured read/write access to a story-based project backlog. Agents can list stories, read content, update status, and append notes — all backed by plain markdown files that live inside your project repository.
How collaboration works
There is no shared server. The backlog files live in your repo under requirements/, committed and versioned alongside your code. Collaboration between agents, or between an agent and a human, works exactly the way the rest of your codebase does: through git. If two agents update different stories concurrently, git merges them. If they touch the same line, you resolve it like any other merge conflict.
The MCP server is a local process each agent runs for itself. It reads and writes files; git handles the rest.
