Check team progress in Claude Desktop

Stop digging through Slack threads to see what the team finished today. You can now use `list_updates` to fetch the latest check-ins without leaving your chat. It gives you the exact context you need to write better project summaries. Use `get_update` when you need to see the specific details of a single snippet.

Align on goals with this MCP Server

Keep everyone on the same page by pulling live data from your planning docs. The `list_objectives` tool helps you verify if a task matches the current sprint priorities. If you find an objective that looks stale, use `get_objective` to see the full breakdown. It keeps your AI client grounded in real team data.

Manage team member context

Need to know who is working on what? You can use `list_users` to see the roster and `get_user` to grab contact info or specific update history. This makes it easy to route questions to the right person. Stop guessing who owns a feature and just ask your agent to pull the team structure.
