Fast MissionCache project management with time tracking, file operations, and MissionCache Auto loop integration. Replaces 5-10+ tool calls with single MCP calls.
Plan, execute, track, and resume - without losing state.
MissionCache is the project layer for AI coding tools. It works in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and VSCode Copilot Chat - any tool that speaks MCP. Every missioncache project gets a durable home: a plan, a living context file, and a task checklist. That state persists across sessions, survives context compaction, and reloads when you come back. On the Claude Code side, missioncache also adds time tracking, a local analytics dashboard, autonomous execution, and a rich statusline; the other three currently get the project state and the MCP tool suite.
Every missioncache project lives under ~/.missioncache/active/<project-name>/ as three markdown files: plan.md (the agreed approach, locked after approval), context.md (your decisions, key files, gotchas, and next steps as a living document), and tasks.md (a hierarchical checklist with progress). Sessions end, context windows compact, but your project state stays put. Run /missioncache:load <project-name> in any new Claude Code session (or /missioncache-load in Codex, OpenCode, or VSCode) and missioncache reloads the full state. You pick up where you left off with your plan, your decisions, and your next steps already loaded.
Full visibility into your Claude time
MissionCache tracks heartbeats while you work, aggregates them into sessions, and shows per-project, per-repo, per-day, and per-week breakdowns on a local web dashboard at localhost:8787. It merges missioncache's own heartbeat data with Claude Code's JSONL session logs, so the picture includes time you spent in Claude sessions that were not formally tracked. You always know which projects are actually eating your cycles.
Autonomous execution you can watch live
MissionCache Auto runs project tasks in parallel with dependency-aware DAG scheduling, logs every iteration in real time, and streams execution state to the dashboard. You can watch the whole run as it happens or walk away and check the iteration log afterward. Every task, every attempt, every outcome is visible.
MissionCache exists because no single existing tool integrates all three. See How MissionCache compares for the honest breakdown against the current field.
Supported tools
MissionCache's MCP server and slash commands install into any of the major AI coding tools. The full installer detects which tools you have and asks per-tool whether to register MissionCache. Each prompt installs both the MCP server and the slash commands together; the CLI offers --no-codex-commands (and --no-opencode-commands / --no-vscode-commands) if you want MCP without slash commands.
