About chargehand
chargehand is an MCP server published by the GitHub account Egoushka. Runs coding-agent workers on a codebase question; every claim in the answer carries evidence.
It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the NuGet package Chargehand at version 0.19.3.
It asks for 2 secrets: CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.
Version 0.19.3 was published on 26 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 4 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
