## Introduction
Mission Control is a self-hosted web dashboard for orchestrating AI coding agents. It provides a central interface for dispatching tasks, monitoring agent activity, tracking token costs, and managing multi-agent workflows without relying on third-party SaaS platforms.

## What Mission Control Does
- Dispatches tasks to Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents
- Monitors active agent sessions with real-time status updates
- Tracks token usage and cost across all agent interactions
- Orchestrates multi-agent workflows with task dependencies
- Provides a governance layer with approval policies for sensitive operations

## Architecture Overview
Mission Control is a Next.js application backed by SQLite for local-first data storage. It communicates with coding agents through CLI adapters that translate dashboard actions into agent commands. The dashboard uses server-sent events for real-time status updates from running agents. MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration enables tool and context sharing.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Clone the repository and install dependencies with npm
- Configure API keys for target AI providers in environment variables
- Set up agent adapters for Claude Code, Codex, or other supported agents
- Define workflow templates for recurring multi-step tasks
- Configure cost budgets and alert thresholds per team or project

## Key Features
- Unified dashboard for managing multiple AI coding agents
- Real-time session monitoring with tool call visibility
- Token cost tracking with per-agent and per-project breakdowns
- Multi-agent workflow orchestration with task dependencies
- Self-hosted with SQLite — no external database required

## FAQ
**Q: Does Mission Control replace my coding agent?**
A: No. It orchestrates and monitors agents. You still need Claude Code, Codex, or another agent installed.

**Q: Can I use it with a single agent?**
A: Yes. Even with one agent, the cost tracking and session monitoring features are useful.

**Q: Is an external database required?**
A: No. Mission Control uses SQLite by default for zero-dependency local deployment.

**Q: Does it support team collaboration?**
A: Yes. Multiple users can share the dashboard, view agent activity, and manage shared workflows.
