agentdrift-mcp

agentdrift-mcp — runtime supervisor for autonomous coding agents

AgentDrift is the runtime supervisor and circuit breaker for autonomous coding agents. It detects repetitive tool calls and execution spirals, then reports an intervention diagnostic before endless retries consume a token budget. The Python package includes a CLI, local and cloud Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and a web telemetry interface.

Install the published package with pip3 install agentdrift-mcp. It provides the agentdrift-mcp MCP server command and the agentdrift CLI compatibility alias. MCP clients can launch the local server with uvx --from agentdrift-mcp agentdrift-mcp.

Cross-agent workspace memory

Apply supabase/migrations/20261016_shared_workspace_memory.sql to the target PostgreSQL/Supabase project. Configure AGENTDRIFT_SERVICE_TOKEN on the API and send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Set DATABASE_URL (or a Supabase database URL setting) to persist memory in PostgreSQL; without it, the daemon uses in-memory storage.

The MCP-compatible HTTP endpoint is POST /api/v1/mcp/tools/call. It accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 tools/list and tools/call requests. Pass session_id in each tool's arguments to identify the repository workspace. The monitoring route is GET /api/v1/workspace/{session_id}/timeline.

After the existing shared workspace memory migration, apply supabase/migrations/20261017_task_execution_commits.sql to create structured commit history and backfill earlier action records. New entries use the TaskExecutionCommit schema with task intent, technical summary, typed file changes, exported contracts, and status.

Example Cline .cline/mcp.json entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentdrift-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "http://localhost:8901/api/v1/mcp/tools/call",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SERVICE_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop, add a hosted HTTPS endpoint under Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Remote connectors are configured in the app; remote URLs in claude_desktop_config.json are not loaded. Claude Desktop's remote connector flow uses its supported authentication flow, so a fixed AGENTDRIFT_SERVICE_TOKEN may require an OAuth-capable proxy in front of this service. The local claude_desktop_config.json file is for local stdio MCP servers.

For Codex CLI, add this to ~/.codex/config.toml and export the token in the environment:

[mcp_servers.agentdrift-mcp]
url = "http://localhost:8901/api/v1/mcp/tools/call"
bearer_token_env_var = "AGENTDRIFT_SERVICE_TOKEN"

Quickstart

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env        # fill in DATABASE_URL
python scripts/migrate.py  # Phase 1: apply migrations/001_init.sql to Supabase
uvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8901

No DATABASE_URL? The daemon runs in memory mode (hash embeddings, same API) so dashboard development works with zero config.

Phase 1 — Supabase migration

migrations/001_init.sql creates vector + uuid-ossp, tables agent_sessions, agent_executions (with payload_embedding vector(384)), drift_detections, and indexes. Applied via scripts/migrate.py (psycopg or asyncpg).

API (dashboard-facing)

CORS allows http://localhost:3000 + http://127.0.0.1:3000 by default.

Drift engine (app/drift.py)

Compares each ingested execution to the prior sequence in its session:

1. state_drift — state_hash changed (hard signal, wins)
2. schema_drift — output key-set changed without semantic break
3. logical_drift — NLI contradiction ≥ 0.7 (cross-encoder/deberta-v3-small when NLI_ENABLED=true, else negation-flip heuristic)
4. semantic_drift — cosine similarity of 384-d payload embeddings < threshold (default 0.85)
5. else no_drift

Embeddings: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 when available, otherwise a deterministic hashing-trick fallback (works offline).

Tests

python -m pytest tests/ -q

Storage: two runtimes

agentdrift/storage/ defines one interface (BaseStore: record_execution, check_drift, list_recent_executions) with two backends, selected automatically — Supabase when SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL (or AGENTDRIFT_DATABASE_URL) is set, otherwise local:

Phase 1 — Supabase migration (Cloud MCP)

Run migrations/002_supabase_mcp.sql once in the Supabase SQL editor (vector + uuid-ossp extensions, agent_sessions / agent_executions with embedding vector(384) / drift_detections, plus indices).

MCP server (Claude Code, Cline, OpenCode, Codex)

Tools: record_execution, check_drift, list_recent_executions, get_health.

# Local stdio (add to the client's MCP config)
python mcp_server.py --transport stdio

# Cloud Streamable HTTP with token auth (refuses to serve remote without one)
AGENTDRIFT_MCP_TOKEN=secret SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL=... \
  python mcp_server.py --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8931
# Legacy SSE (connect clients to /mcp)
python mcp_server.py --transport sse --port 8931 --token secret

Install from PyPI with pip3 install agentdrift-mcp, or use pip install -e . from a checkout. The MCP server executable is agentdrift-mcp; the agentdrift console command remains available as a CLI compatibility alias. Remote transports require --token (or AGENTDRIFT_MCP_TOKEN) unless --allow-unauthenticated is passed for local dev; /health is always open.

Terminal CLI (agentdrift compatibility alias)

The cli.py entrypoint replaces the web dashboard. Install it as a real command (project layout stays as-is: app/ is the daemon package, cli.py is the console entrypoint):

pip install -e .
agentdrift health
agentdrift scan --threshold 0.92
agentdrift ingest --agent-id demo --session-id s1 --payload '{"key": "val"}'
agentdrift evaluate --premise "the cat sits" --hypothesis "the cat sits"
agentdrift test-all

python cli.py <cmd> keeps working without installing.

Live tail (watch)

agentdrift watch --session-id s1 --interval 1.0 --threshold 0.92 --no-bell

Polls GET /v1/executions + POST /v1/sentinel/scan (falls back to GET /v1/detections) and renders a live header / execution-stream / alerts layout. New steps appear as [HH:MM:SS] [seq N] agent:node -> summary; ping-pong loops raise a red alert banner plus terminal bell (disable with --no-bell). A raw SSE feed is also available for custom tailers:

curl -N http://127.0.0.1:8901/v1/events/stream

Production Cloud MCP server

For supported coding CLIs and IDEs, transport compatibility, and client-specific setup examples, see the MCP integration matrix.

The Render image runs the unified FastAPI app (app.main:app), exposing the REST API, /docs, and /openapi.json alongside the Cloud MCP ASGI app. Render defaults CLOUD_TRANSPORT=sse; choose streamable-http to serve that transport instead. REST data routes require AGENTDRIFT_REST_API_TOKEN (or fall back to AGENTDRIFT_MCP_TOKEN) when AGENTDRIFT_REQUIRE_AUTH=1; Cloud MCP retains its Supabase JWT/service-token middleware. Apply migrations/002_cloud_mcp_supabase.sql and then migrations/003_unified_rest_api.sql in the Supabase SQL Editor first. Set SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL to the direct Postgres URL (port 5432), SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET to the Supabase Auth JWT signing secret, and AGENTDRIFT_REQUIRE_AUTH=1 in production. With Render, also set these values in the service's Environment page: its deploy hook triggers a deployment but does not transfer GitHub secrets into Render. render.yaml declares the keys as sync: false.

python -m agentdrift.mcp.cloud_server --transport streamable-http --port 8000

The server accepts a Supabase user JWT or an explicitly configured server token (AGENTDRIFT_MCP_TOKEN / MCP_TOKEN). User JWTs are verified and their sub claim scopes session and execution queries. Never put a service-role key in a client configuration.

For legacy SSE, run the server with --transport sse and use https://mcp.your-domain.com/sse as the client URL.
