Official Notion MCP server for AI-agent workspace access

Notion MCP Server is Notion's official MIT-licensed MCP server for connecting AI assistants to Notion workspaces. It supports the vendor-backed remote OAuth path and tools designed for page, workspace, and Markdown-style operations, making it a safer default than unofficial Notion bridges for teams already using Notion for docs, projects, or internal knowledge bases.

Spotlight by Backplanes

Session reports for Claude Code and Codex runs

Spotlight by Backplanes turns completed Claude Code and Codex sessions into concise reports for engineering, security, and spend review. The CLI installs on macOS, Linux, or WSL 2, watches sessions after they finish, redacts PII and credentials locally before upload, then summarizes files touched, commands run, external domains reached, scope drift, risky actions, and next-session improvements.

Cross-agent messaging for CLI coding agents

agmsg is an MIT-licensed Bash and SQLite messaging layer for CLI coding agents. It lets Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Antigravity, OpenCode, Hermes, and other terminal agents exchange messages through a shared local database instead of relying on a human copy-paste relay. It is intentionally not MCP, not a broker, and not a subagent framework.

OpenHuman

Local-first personal AI agent with memory trees, desktop integrations, and private workspace context.

OpenHuman is an open-source, local-first personal AI agent from TinyHumans. It combines a desktop app, persistent memory trees, Obsidian-compatible storage, OAuth integrations, and local model support into a private assistant harness. It is most interesting for users who want agentic workflows and long-term memory without handing every context detail to a fully cloud-hosted assistant.
