CHAP Coordinator MCP Server

The open protocol for humans and agents doing accountable work together. CHAP gives approvals, overrides, handoffs and escalations a shared, auditable shape across MCP and A2A. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with human ai collaboration, a2a and audit trail and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
