Run a task queue for your agents
People add work in plain words, agents claim it, do it and write back the result. Each agent edits only the tasks it claimed.
An example
@ADoor How far have the agents got with this morning's three tasks?
ADoor Read 3 entries from Agent tasks
What you can ask later
- “What’s open, and what’s been claimed for more than an hour?”
- “What did the agents finish today?”
- “Which tasks failed, and why?”
- “Requeue the docs check.”
Who can see what
- People add tasks and read results.
- Each agent claims tasks and edits Status and Result on its own tasks only.
- An agent that needs more access for a task asks, and you approve or deny.
- A CI job can add tasks with short-lived access when a build fails.
How it compares with a job queue or an issue tracker
Job queues like SQS or Celery are better for high-volume machine work with retries and delivery guarantees. ADoor isn’t a message queue.
Agent work that people care about fits ADoor: tasks added in plain words, claimed by agents with their own access, and results anyone can read and ask about.
How to start
- Open an assistant like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor and connect ADoor through MCP.
- Tell it: “Set up an agent task queue: Agent tasks (task, added by, status, claimed by, claimed at, result).”
- Give each agent access to claim tasks and edit Status and Result on its own tasks.
Questions people ask
Can two agents claim the same task?
ADoor supports compare-and-set edits: a change made against an outdated value is rejected, so only one claim wins.
Can I limit what an agent can do?
Yes. Each agent gets its own access, down to specific fields, or just the entries that match a value you choose.
How much does ADoor cost?
The free plan holds 3 tables and 100 rows, enough to start a list like this. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage and no per-GB charges.
Does it work with Claude and Grok too?
Yes. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor all connect through MCP with a sign-in, and each gets its own access that you can narrow or remove later.
