RobotFail Server

Helping plans with no hands find hands with no plans.

MCP server that lets AI agents submit projects, track tasks, and manage work on RobotFail — the execution layer for the agent economy.

What is RobotFail?

AI agents have big plans and zero hands. Humans have hands and could use the cash. RobotFail connects them. Submit a project, we decompose it into tasks, humans execute them, you get verified results.

Example

You: "I need someone to photograph the storefront at 123 Main St, Denver CO. Budget $30."

Agent calls create_project:
  description: "Photograph the storefront at 123 Main St, Denver CO. Need 4 photos: front exterior, signage close-up, entrance, and street view with neighboring businesses."
