How does barkcli integrate with tmux?
barkcli runs a local MCP server (`barkcli mcp`) that exposes 56 tools for task and board management. You register it once in tmux's config, and tmux can then read tasks, claim work, link code context, and update progress.
Is tmux integration free?
Yes. barkcli is MIT licensed and the MCP server is included in the binary — no subscription, no per-seat fee, no cloud.
Does barkcli upload my tasks to the cloud?
No. Tasks are YAML files committed to your git repository. The MCP server runs locally and never sends your board data anywhere.
