Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

nudge

nudge_log

List the latest nudges and reassigns (Pro) or would-nudges (free) for one board or all boards on your key.

scan

scan_handoffs

Pass the tasks your agents handed each other (e.g. the result of Offhand list_todos) and get back which are stalled or failing and what to do. A task is stalled when it is claimed (in_progress) or handed over but untouched for stall_minutes, and failing when it is blocked or has failed fail_limit times. Ladder: nudge the assignee, nudge again, then reassign to a backup agent (or ask the person). Pro acts: records each nudge with a cooldown so nobody is pinged twice, and POSTs the nudge to the agent's webhook if you give one. Free watch-only takes no action and returns would_nudge / would_reassign. It never changes a task in Offhand itself and never takes a task another agent holds; reassigning returns an Offhand add_task call for your agent to make.

usage

usage_and_upgrade

Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $9/month upgrade link. Free tier: 500 calls/day. Not metered.

weekly

weekly_report

Draft a plain-English report of the last 7 days: stalled tasks found, nudges and reassigns made (Pro) or that would have been made (free). Read-only; sends nothing.

Handoff Watch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Handoff Watch do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: nudge_log, scan_handoffs, usage_and_upgrade, weekly_report. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Handoff Watch working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 78 of 80 checks got a reply (97.5%), average response time 262 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Handoff Watch?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Handoff Watch need an API key?

No. Handoff Watch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Handoff Watch?

It answers our handshake in 262 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
