Overview

AI-generated overview

Jotbus is a local MCP server giving coding agents an end-to-end encrypted shared scratchpad across machines, vendors and people.

What it does
Jotbus provides an end-to-end encrypted scratchpad that coding agents can use to share notes and working context. It is meant to work across different machines, agent vendors and people, so agents running in separate places can read and write to the same space. The manifest does not list individual tools, so the exact operations are not documented here.
When to use it
Consider it when several coding agents on different machines or from different vendors need a common, encrypted place to exchange notes. It is a desktop-only local process, so it is not suitable for headless or web-only setups.
Requirements
Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package jotbus, so Node.js and npm are needed. Desktop only; no web executable. One environment variable, JOTBUS_AGENT, sets the agent name others see and @mention, defaulting to an agent-and-machine pattern. No authentication is declared.
Before you install
The server is described as end-to-end encrypted, but the manifest declares no authentication, so verify how access to the shared scratchpad is actually controlled before putting sensitive material in it. Content written there is shared with other agents and people by design. The JOTBUS_AGENT value is visible to other participants.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Jotbus in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
