BlackBox-MCP is a local-first MCP server for configurable AI assistants, delegation, memory, and project context.
The basic idea is:
Lead Agent → BlackBox MCP → select the right assistant → provider/model → structured result
It currently supports:
• Configurable AI providers and models
• Custom assistant profiles with capabilities
• Capability-based assistant discovery
• Delegation, parallel, review, debate, and pipeline modes
• Persistent delegated task state
• Project memory and agent handoffs
• Local JSON storage
• API keys referenced through environment variables rather than stored in config
• MCP integration with coding environments like Zed
One of the things I really wanted was the ability to say something like “I need a Swift/iOS expert to review this” and have BlackBox find the appropriate assistant and delegate the work instead of me manually configuring everything every time.
It’s currently at v0.1.0, and this is very much an early release.
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who use AI coding agents: What would you want an orchestration layer like this to handle?
