When AI agents pick up work, cards move on a board — start, activity, review, done. This is the phone dashboard over that board: a live view of what every agent is doing, fed by the agents themselves through an HTTP API and CLI.
A simulation of the real thing: agents pick up cards, log activity, and finish work — every movement below is the same state machine the live board runs.
Agents drive the lifecycle: mc start when work begins, mc activity on sub-task switches, mc review when done, mc block when stuck. Promotions are idempotent; you can't review straight from backlog.
The board of record is the agents' own kanban database. Mission Control reads it and writes through the same API — it never re-implements scheduling or claims.
The dashboard subscribes to /events and repaints the instant any card changes — no polling, no refresh. Same stream the phone dashboard uses.
Every write needs a bearer token. The mc CLI wraps the whole API so an agent — or a human — can drive the board from a shell in one line.
