THE ORGONAUT FLIGHT RECORD
An API from the start. Agents in the org model. MCP, Astro, CLI, and human-reviewed change. A record of how Orgonaut has built for a new way of working.
Dated evidence. Named releases. Every comparison linked.
THE INDUSTRY IN PARALLEL
Orgonaut adopted patterns that other well-known platforms subsequently announced. The dates below compare specific releases and announcements, with their limits made explicit.
Agent-friendly CLI
March → April shipped → announced
Orgonaut shipped before the April product announcement. Month-only evidence supports ordering, not an exact-day lead or first-package claim.
Teamwork Graph CLI

Compared with this agent-focused CLI, not Atlassian’s older command-line tools.
Developer Platform CLI

Both provide a first-party terminal surface for humans and agents; their product scopes differ.

Documentation-to-announcement interval. Exact first-release dates for both skill libraries are not established.
MCP / BASECAMP · RECORDED RELEASE → AVAILABILITY ANNOUNCEMENT
Orgonaut’s remote MCP is recorded from 17 Mar 2026. In October 2026, DHH announced direct Basecamp MCP availability for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Grok, and other clients. Another established SaaS product opening its tools to the assistants people already use.
The announcement is evidenced by a screenshot supplied during this review. Its relative timestamp supports no exact calendar day, so we show month precision. Basecamp’s local CLI MCP release on 3 September remains a separate timeline milestone.
An earlier record for a selected feature is evidence of adoption, not a claim to have invented the technology or led every SaaS company. Read the comparison method ↓
FROM FOUNDATION TO AI TRANSFORMATION
16 recorded Orgonaut milestones, alongside selected SaaS announcements and the technologies that made new workflows possible.
An open protocol gives assistants a standard way to reach tools and data.
Claude Code enters research preview, giving coding agents a command-line working environment.
A useful earlier adopter: official, authenticated access to issues, projects, and comments.
Linear shipped MCP before Orgonaut. Included to keep the wider chronology visible.
Tenant-scoped API v1 and token abilities establish programmatic access to the organisation model.
Live and scenario routing separate current operations from proposed organisational changes.
The Apps SDK preview builds on MCP and opens a new distribution surface for software.
Instructions, scripts, and resources can teach an agent how to work in a particular domain.
Append-only audit events and structured diffs give organisational change an inspectable record.
Reviewed promotion, historical snapshots, and lineage connect a proposed future to the operating baseline.
Machine contributors have explicit actor kinds, profiles, costs, and budgets alongside human capacity.
Modelling contributors does not imply that Orgonaut hosts or runs those agents.
The first listed official GitHub release predates Orgonaut’s recorded CLI v1 release.
An in-app agent workspace and OAuth-connected external clients work against the same governed model.
Coding-tool usage maps to actors and rolls up through teams and departments.
Agents and technical users gain a terminal surface for organisational reads, reports, and scenario work.
Documentation retrieval, reranking, and usefulness checks support answers about the shipped product.
The product update describes terminal setup for workspaces, Fin, and help centres.
Orgonaut’s recorded CLI v1 release on 26 March precedes this April announcement. The source does not specify a day.
Scenario proposals expose affected counts, before-and-after totals, dependencies, and phased checkpoints.
Codex and Claude Code get optional guidance for login, JSON output, Live reads, and scenario-safe work.
This is a dated promo-site commit, not proof of the exact initial skill release. The commit is in a private repository.
A CLI designed for agents connects Atlassian and third-party context to the terminal.
41 days after Orgonaut’s recorded CLI v1 release. This comparison concerns Teamwork Graph CLI, not older Atlassian CLIs.
The ntn CLI lets humans and coding agents read, act, and manage Workers from the terminal.
48 days after Orgonaut’s recorded CLI v1 release. Workers and org-planning scenarios serve different purposes.
A versioned format and CLI make organisational data validatable, renderable, and diffable.
Canonical YAML and JSON import with previews, stable source IDs, and human, agent, and robot kinds.
Packaged product expertise helps connected models build bases, interfaces, and automations.
126 days after Orgonaut’s companion skill was documented. Similar delivery pattern; different workflows. This is not Airtable’s first MCP release.
CLI v0.10.0 exposes Basecamp through the basecamp mcp command, giving MCP clients another route to its tools.
170 days after Orgonaut’s recorded remote MCP release. This local stdio server is distinct from Basecamp’s later announcement of direct MCP availability for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Grok.
Capabilities, versioned AI Solutions, and Transformation Cases connect a target model to evidence and economics.
A private alpha is recorded on 17 September. Astro, MCP, API, and CLI access to these domains is read-only; current access is Enterprise and Agency.
Dated forecasts reach Astro, MCP, API, and CLI; cost scopes protect sensitive financial fields.
DHH announces that Basecamp MCP is available to add directly to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Grok, and other clients, linking to Basecamp’s AI setup page.
The founder supplied a screenshot of DHH’s announcement from this week during the October 2026 review. It shows a relative 2h timestamp; the exact calendar day and original post permalink are not established. Month precision is used, with no exact-day lead. This is separate from September’s CLI MCP release.

The meaningful innovation is how these capabilities work together: agents can inspect the organisation, prepare supported changes, and give people something concrete to review.
REST API, OAuth-backed MCP, and a first-party CLI expose the organisation model through the tools agents already use.

Research reviewed 10 Oct 2026. Dates and availability can be revisited as more evidence becomes public.
Download the evidenceOrgonaut release dates come from its public changelog, supplemented by dated posts and repository records. The changelog launched on 1 April 2026 and includes earlier historical entries. Competitor dates come from official announcements, release records, or package timestamps. A record is labelled as a release, beta, announcement, or documentation milestone; those stages are not interchangeable.
Exact dates use elapsed calendar days in UTC. A month-only announcement gets a month label and no exact-day advantage. These are intervals between the cited records, not proof of a competitor’s first implementation or private development date. Similar access patterns do not mean identical products or capabilities.
Intercom’s CLI package was published on 24 March 2026, before Orgonaut’s recorded CLI v1 release on 26 March. Fin’s April announcement came later. Basecamp’s official CLI release and Linear’s remote MCP announcement also precede Orgonaut’s corresponding recorded releases. The page therefore makes narrower, named comparisons.
ChatGPT connectivity is supported through Orgonaut’s remote MCP surface. The connected Orgonaut plugin also provides onboarding and review workflows, but its first release date has not been established in the available historical sources. It is excluded from dated comparisons until a release record is available.
MCP client connection guide ↗No. This is a selected chronology of shipped capabilities and public evidence. It does not establish invention, an exhaustive ranking, or that another company followed Orgonaut. Protocol introduction dates mark ecosystem context; they do not measure when a technology became popular.
