Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
Paste the address below, give it a name and save
If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

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

Values you fill in

AXIS_API_KEY env
Board credential from useaxis.dev. Omit to run local-only, with no cross-machine coordination.
AXIS_API_SECRET secret env
Secret paired with AXIS_API_KEY.
AXIS_ORG_ID env
Pin the board to one organization, when you belong to several.

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

Common questions

Is Axis safe?

It passed 0 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?

You need to fill in: AXIS_API_SECRET

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.14.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Parano1d node

@virsanghavi/axis-server

One coordination board for a team's coding agents.

Your teammate's Claude Code is editing auth.ts right now. Your Cursor is about to. Neither knows about the other, and git only tells you afterwards.

Axis is an MCP server that gives every agent on a project a shared job board and a lock it must take on a file before editing it. Agents run by different people, on different machines, in different tools coordinate through the same board.

agent-A  propose_file_access src/auth.ts   ->  GRANTED

agent-B propose_file_access src/auth.ts -> REQUIRES_ORCHESTRATION held by agent-A: "adding refresh tokens"

Install

npm install -g @virsanghavi/axis-server

Connect an agent

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --scope project --transport http axis https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp

Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and anything else that speaks MCP, in the client's config file:

"mcpServers": { "axis": { "url": "https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp" } } }

Authenticate with OAuth, so there is no key to manage. A Bearer API key from useaxis.dev works too. Tools land server side, so there is nothing to update on your machine when they change.

Run it locally instead

The hosted board is what makes coordination work across people. If you want the server in your own process:

axis-server

Variable	Purpose
`AXIS_API_KEY`	Board credential, from useaxis.dev
`AXIS_API_SECRET`	Paired secret for that key
`AXIS_ORG_ID`	Pin the board to one org, when you belong to several
`AXIS_WORKSPACE_ROOT`	Repository root, if your agent host does not supply one

Axis derives project identity from the active repository and rebinds itself when an agent moves to a different one, so jobs and locks do not leak between repos.

What agents get

Coordination: post_job, claim_next_job, complete_job, list_jobs, propose_file_access, verify_file_lock, release_file_access, list_locks, list_agents, finalize_session.

Shared context: get_project_soul, update_project_soul, update_shared_context, read_context, search_codebase, search_docs.

Why not git worktrees

Worktrees isolate files. They do not isolate intent. Two agents in two worktrees can both decide the auth refactor is next, both do it correctly, and produce zero merge conflicts. You paid twice and now you throw one away. Claiming the work before you start is the part worktrees cannot do.
