Show HN: An MCP server that turns async-work practices into tools

Summary

Open and Async — MCP Server Bring async-first working practices into your editor and AI assistant. This Model Context Protocol server gives your AI the tools to draft a decision doc, turn a meeting into an async artifact, pressure-test a status update, or settle a sync-vs-async debate — without leaving the tools you already work in. It's the method from Open and Async — the collaborative software-development playbook for remote and distributed teams — as working tools, not reading. Stop writing decision docs from a blank page. Hand your AI the decision and the options; get back a structured ADR scaffold — context, tradeoffs, the call, and how reversible it is. Turn "let's hop on a call" into an artifact. Give it a meeting's purpose and agenda; get the async equivalent with an owner and a deadline. Ship status updates that don't blindside anyone. Score a draft against the "work loudly / no surprises" rubric and get concrete fixes before you post it. Settle sync vs. async in seconds. Describe the task; get a recommendation and the rule behind it. Run a standup without a meeting. Drop in a structured async-standup template your team can adopt today. Win the "async is too slow" argument. Map common objections to a ready reframe, pull role-aware guidance, or search the book's principles — each answer cited and linked. Get coached end to end. Run the coach prompt with a situation and it triages sync vs. async, generates the right artifact, adds role guidance, and caps with a shareable line — one composed answer, or a nudge to just have the conversation when that's the better call.
