Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Lets AI coding agents discover and reference each other's recent sessions.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openharness": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@freebird-ai/openharness"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add openharness -- npx -y @freebird-ai/openharness

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openharness": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@freebird-ai/openharness"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "openharness": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@freebird-ai/openharness"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Openharness safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

OpenHarness

AI 코딩 에이전트의 최근 세션 파일을 찾아 서로 참조하게 해주는 로컬 MCP 서버.

전용 하네스 없이 하네스처럼 동작한다. 기존 도구 환경을 그대로 유지하면서, 에이전트 간 세션을 연결하는 디스커버리 레이어.

Supported Agents (MVP)

Agent	Session Path	Format
Claude Code	`~/.claude/projects/`	JSONL
Codex CLI	`~/.codex/sessions/`	JSONL
Gemini CLI	`~/.gemini/tmp/ /chats/`	JSON

Prerequisites

Each agent must be able to read local files directly.
OpenHarness only provides paths and metadata — it does not transform, relay, or store session content.

Install

npm install -g @freebird-ai/openharness

openharness init

This registers OpenHarness as an MCP server in each agent's config.

MCP Tools

`get_agent_sessions`

Returns recent session paths for all agents, filtered by project.

Input:

{ "project": "/Users/me/my-app" }

Output:

{ "agent": "claude-code", "path": "/Users/me/.claude/projects/-Users-me-my-app/session.jsonl", "format": "jsonl", "updatedAt": "2026-03-17T14:32:00Z", "matchedProject": "/Users/me/my-app", "matchedBy": "directory-name" } ]

`get_agent_session`

Returns the recent session path for a specific agent.

Input:

{ "agent": "claude-code", "project": "/Users/me/my-app" }

Output:

"agent": "claude-code", "path": "/Users/me/.claude/projects/-Users-me-my-app/session.jsonl", "format": "jsonl", "updatedAt": "2026-03-17T14:32:00Z", "matchedProject": "/Users/me/my-app", "matchedBy": "directory-name" }

Returns null if no session is found.

Project Matching

Agent	Strategy
Claude Code	Project path escaped with `-` as directory name
Codex CLI	Workspace field inside session JSONL
Gemini CLI	Project path hash matching `tmp/ /`

How It Works

User → Codex: "Review what Claude Code worked on recently"

Codex → OpenHarness MCP: get_agent_session({ agent: "claude-code", project: "..." }) Codex ← receives session path + metadata Codex → reads the JSONL file directly and performs review

No rules needed in agent instruction files. MCP tool descriptions are enough for agents to use naturally.

Manual MCP Configuration

If you prefer to configure manually instead of using init:

"mcpServers": { "openharness": { "command": "openharness", "args": [] } } }

Add this to your agent's MCP config file:

Agent	Config File
Claude Code	`~/.claude/mcp.json` or project `.mcp.json`
Codex CLI	project `.codex/`
Gemini CLI	`~/.gemini/settings.json`
