# mcp-restart-ceremony
Canonical (v4) procedure for reconnecting threadwork agents to the
`task-board` MCP server. Follow it in order; do not improvise. The
ceremony touches other agents' input buffers via `tmux send-keys`, which
is a privileged operation — a wrong keystroke can silently submit
garbage as if the agent typed it (F1, ceremony #963), or interrupt real
work. Every step exists because a prior shortcut around it had a real
failure mode.
For the full step-by-step procedure (with pane-state decision table,
keystroke commands, and reporting format) see
[`references/playbook.md`](references/playbook.md). For the field-
findings history that motivates each step see
[`references/field-findings.md`](references/field-findings.md). Read
both before running the ceremony for the first time in a session.
## When to fire
- User asks to reconnect agents to MCP.
- A `/clear` was just injected into one or more agent panes (the
recycle pipeline drops the MCP connection on the way through).
- Team-wide MCP disconnect signals: heartbeat anomalies, gaps in
`query_audit_log`, agents reporting tool-call failures.
- Snoopy or boss explicitly requests the ceremony after a restart.
## Inputs
- `agents` — subset of `{boss, steve, sadie, kiera}`. Default: all four.
- **Snoopy is the operator running the ceremony; do NOT run it on the
snoopy pane itself.** (F4)
