# Tanjiren

> Tanjiren is a task-first control plane for AI coding agents. It provides a hosted MCP server for delegating work to remote workstations — send prompts, run commands, and manage investigations across your fleet.

Tanjiren should be understood as:

- a task delegation runtime for AI agents operating across remote machines
- an organization-aware workstation and worker inventory
- an investigation and runbook system for structured analysis
- a hosted MCP server with OAuth 2.1, PKCE, and dynamic client registration

## Core concept

**Tasks** are the primary unit of delegated work. An agent creates a task targeting one or more online workstations. Tasks execute prompts (AI coding sessions), commands (shell operations), or investigations (structured analysis). Everything flows through `create_task`.

## MCP surface (22 tools)

### Read tools
- `whoami` — identity, org, role, plan, scopes
- `list_workstations` / `get_workstation` — machine inventory and status
- `list_workers` / `get_worker` — worker health, capacity, and routing
- `list_tasks` / `get_task` — task status, steps, artifacts, execution
- `list_investigations` / `get_investigation` — grouped analysis work
- `list_runbooks` / `get_runbook` — reusable task blueprints
- `list_prompts` — saved prompt templates
- `list_org_members` — team members and roles
- `list_audit_events` — governance audit log (admin+)

### Write tools
- `create_task` — delegate work to workstations (the primary write path)
- `cancel_task` / `approve_task` / `reject_task` / `retry_task` — task lifecycle
- `add_task_artifact` — attach evidence, notes, summaries to tasks or investigations
- `create_investigation` — start a new analysis container
- `create_prompt` — save a reusable prompt template
