A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Hangfire background jobs directly from VS Code Copilot and other MCP-compatible clients. Monitor job queues, retry failed jobs, manage recurring tasks, and view real-time statistics — all without leaving your editor.

• Job Management: List, view, retry, delete, and requeue jobs
• Recurring Jobs: List, view, trigger, pause, and resume recurring jobs
• Statistics: View server stats, queues, and active servers
• Auto-Discovery: Automatically finds connection strings from appsettings.json
• Web Dashboard: Built-in web UI with real-time stats and job management
