fleetpost-mcp

Give your agent the fleet's mailbox. An MCP server for Fleetpost — offline-tolerant, server-less coordination between machines over any rclone remote.

Your agent can ask what the other machines can do, hand one of them a task, and work through its own inbox — without a server, a daemon, or every machine being online at once. A machine that is off picks up its mail on its next cycle.

Tools

Only fleet_send_request and fleet_sync touch the remote. Everything else reads files the sync already pulled, so status is instant and works with no network at all.

Setup

You need a working Fleetpost checkout with a filled-in config.env — see the main README. The MCP server reads that same file; it introduces no configuration of its own.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fleetpost": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["fleetpost-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FLEETPOST_CONFIG": "/path/to/fleetpost/config.env"
      }
    }
  }
}

FLEETPOST_CONFIG can be omitted if the server starts in the directory holding config.env. If you copied the config away from the checkout, also set FLEETPOST_HOME to the checkout — fleet_sync and fleet_handle run the repo's own scripts.

Then ask your agent:

Anything waiting for me? — and if the build box can sign, ask it to sign the release.

What it will not do

The protocol's rules are enforced here, not just documented:

• Writes only into another machine's inbox, at the top level. Never into handled/, never into anyone's descriptors. That is what keeps concurrent writes safe.
• fleet_handle only tidies your own inbox — the owner is the only one allowed to.
• A request must be complete to be sent. What is wanted, what "done" means, and an expiry are required arguments; a malformed request cannot be created.
• Ask for actions, not access. If a job needs a credential you lack, the machine that has it does the work and returns the result. Secrets never travel.

There is no server, no database, and no daemon of our own — the transport stays a folder on an rclone remote, and this server only reads and writes files in it.
