Our reading of underway, from the data
underway is an MCP server, listed in the official MCP Registry.
Its 2 tools add about 827 tokens to every model turn (measured 2026-10-19).
Maintenance is active: the last public signal was in the last day (2026-10-18).
It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Tools (2)
underway_set_up_recording348 tokPrepares a recording in Underway from the choices a founder has made: how long, camera or podcast, portrait or landscape, questions or just talking, and what it is about. Returns a one-line description of the setup and a link that opens Underway set up that way. It records nothing and runs no interview. Use it when the founder wants to film in Underway and has said how; to talk through their day here instead, use underway_debrief.
underway_debrief214 tokRuns one short interview with a founder about their working day. Given the conversation so far, it returns the next question (start, work, problem, resolution, forward), following up on what they said. When the interview is complete it returns done, a summary of the day in the founder's own words, a closing line and a link that opens Underway with the debrief loaded. Use it when a founder wants to talk through their day now, in this chat. If they already know they want to film and only want it set up, use underway_set_up_recording instead.
