AppHandoff Docs — MCP coordination for AI-built apps

AppHandoff is the coordination layer for AI-built apps — a hosted MCP server that gives Cursor, Claude Code, and Lovable shared project context, OpenAPI contract scanning, and handoff tickets so humans and agents run multi-agent development from one plan.

What AppHandoff does

• Scans connected GitHub repos for OpenAPI specs, schema signals, and usage patterns
• Detects mismatches with frontend backend mismatch detection between UI usage and API reality
• Exposes context through 60+ MCP tools for agent orchestration and AI agent handoff
• Tracks work through multi-role handoff tickets for AI agents on a shared Kanban in the portal

Core loop

1. Connect frontend + backend GitHub repos to a project
2. Scan repos to build contract-aware context
3. Agents and humans access context via MCP and the portal
4. Gaps become handoff tickets (HO-<n>)
5. Roles advance through Kanban until the work is live

Where to start

• Quick start — sign up, connect repos, Cursor MCP setup and Claude Code MCP server
• Authentication — API keys, sessions, OAuth for the MCP server
• Connect MCP — hosted MCP server setup and troubleshooting
• REST API — auto-generated reference from OpenAPI 3.1

The live OpenAPI spec is also available at GET https://api.apphandoff.com/api/openapi.json.
