About Worker17

What is Worker17: Precision Productivity & Automated Workflow Optimization?

Worker17 isn’t just another tool—it’s a cheeky yet powerful 3D-enabled system born from a mix of humor and technical curiosity. Imagine a digital taskmaster that tracks worker status, dishes out assignments, and yanks the plug on underperformers—all while letting you control it via AI interfaces. Built with React, Three.js, and Node.js, this hybrid project started as a lighthearted experiment but quickly evolved into a serious playground for mastering MCP (Model Context Protocol) workflows.

How to Use Worker17: Precision Productivity & Automated Workflow Optimization?

Getting started is like assembling a tech LEGO set, but with more thrills. First, spin up the Node.js server—npm’s your sidekick here. Then, fire up the webapp to see your worker’s status rendered in 3D glory. Feeling Docker-savvy? Just `docker-compose up` (unless you’re stuck in WSL limbo, where port magic gets… tricky). For Claude Desktop users, you’ll need a proxy—think of it as a translator for SSE MCP dialects. Oh, and the MCP Inspector? Your window into the worker’s soul via SSE streams.

Worker17 Features

Key Features of Worker17: Precision Productivity & Automated Workflow Optimization?

Worker17’s toolkit is a mix of sharp edges and hidden gems:

3D Status Dashboard: Visualize worker performance in a neon-lit virtual arena.
AI-Powered Control: Let Claude Desktop handle the heavy lifting with MCP proxies.
Automated Termination: Bye-bye, slacking workers—no mercy, just efficiency.
Real-Time WebSocket Sync: Watch tasks propagate like a digital game of telephone.
SSE MCP Server: Explore the nitty-gritty of model context protocols without the usual corporate fluff.

Use Cases of Worker17: Precision Productivity & Automated Workflow Optimization?

This isn’t just for overachievers. Think of it as your productivity Swiss Army knife:

DevOps Drama: Automate task assignment and monitor CI/CD bots in 3D chaos.
Edgy Education: Teach developers about MCP by letting them “terminate” rogue worker avatars.
Workflow Experiments: Stress-test automation logic with a system that’s equal parts tool and toy.
Remote Monitoring: Keep tabs on distributed processes like a digital traffic cop.

Worker17 FAQ

FAQ: Worker17’s Finer Details

Does it work with Claude Desktop out of the box?: Nope—grab that proxy plugin first. It’s like translating Klingon for your AI.
Why the 3D interface?: Because why not? Visual debugging is way more fun than spreadsheets.
What happens if my worker “dies”?: They respawn as a ghost until you restart the server. Spooky, but manageable.
WSL2 Docker woes? Any hacks?: Try port forwarding with `-p 3000:3000`—it’s a shot in the dark, but worth a try.

Worker17

An MCP-enabled 3D Worker Monitoring and Control System

Overview

Worker17 is a comprehensive system that allows you to:

Monitor worker 17 position and status
Send tasks to worker 17
Terminate worker 17 due to unsatisfactory performance
Use Claude Desktop to monitor, control, and terminate worker 17 via MCP

The system consists of:

Webapp : A 3D visualization of worker 17 status using React, Three.js, and WebSockets
Server : A Node.js/Express server with WebSocket support and SSE MCP server implementation
MCP Integration : Claude Desktop compatibility for AI-assisted worker 17 management

And more seriously?

Worker17 started as a practical joke, and then it turned into an exploration of SSE MCP servers. It's a silly project, but it's also a fun way to learn about MCP.

Quick Start

Development Setup

# Start the server
cd server
npm install
npm start

# In another terminal, start the webapp
npm install
npm start

Docker

You can also run the system using Docker:

docker-compose up

Note: If you are running docker in WSL without Docker Desktop, there's currently a bug that prevents the ports from being exposed. The workaround is to run the container with host network mode. However, this poses potential risk, as it bypasses the networking isolation of the container.

MCP Inspector

You can use the MCP Inspector to connect to the Worker17 MCP server and inspect the state of the workers. Choose SSE transport and provide the worker17 server URL: http://localhost:4000/sse (or whatever is the URL you are running the server on).

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop currently does not support SSE MCP server. To use the Worker17 MCP server, you will need a proxy Stdio MCP server. I've tested this with mcp-proxy. You will need to install it as a Windows app and put it in the path. I used Windows binaries for uv which added it to %USERPROFILE%.local\bin

Then you can add the worker17 MCP server to Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "worker17": {
        "command": "mcp-proxy",
        "args": ["http://localhost:4000/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Make sure the server is up and running before you start Claude Desktop.
