Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "reevesagents",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add reevesagents -- npx -y reevesagents mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reevesagents": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "reevesagents",
        "mcp"

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is reevesagents safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.2.0) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

25+ coding CLIs, one workspace.

English · Deutsch · Français · Español · Português · Italiano · Türkçe · Русский · 简体中文 · العربية

ReevesAgents is a local workspace for AI coding CLIs. It runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, Pi, Aider, Gemini CLI, Cline CLI, Crush, Goose, Kilo Code, Letta Code, Mistral Vibe, Grok Build, Kiro CLI, Factory Droid, Qoder CLI, Warp, Junie CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor CLI, Rovo Dev CLI, and other provider CLIs side by side in tmux. You can use it as a normal CLI/TUI/Web UI, or attach its opt-in MCP so one agent can spawn, read, steer, and stop the rest.

Provider logins stay inside each provider CLI. ReevesAgents keeps its own state as a few plain JSON files under ~/.reeves, and it runs only while you or an attached CLI are using it.

Quick Start

pnpm add -g reevesagents

reevesagents doctor reevesagents

Start a run from the CLI:

reevesagents spawn claude-code:lead codex:tests hermes:research \

--name "release check" \ --prompt "Review the release path, test coverage, and docs."

Open the Web UI:

reevesagents web

Let one attached agent drive the others:

reevesagents attach codex

reevesagents hosts

Restart that CLI after attach so it loads the MCP tools.

Windows

Native Windows 10 1809+ needs no WSL: reevesagents ships a built-in, tmux-compatible multiplexer (winmux) that runs panes over ConPTY. Agents keep running after you close the UI because winmux runs as a background server, just like tmux. When you attach in the TUI or CLI, the usual prefix keys work: Ctrl-b d to detach, Ctrl-b n / p to move between agent windows, Ctrl-b 0-9 to jump to a window.

What It Gives You

Surface	Use it for
TUI	Keyboard-first run control inside the terminal.
Web UI	Local visual view of runs, panes, agents, approvals, and history.
CLI	Scripts, smoke checks, spawning, state cleanup, and tmux jumps.
Agent Control MCP	One trusted CLI can spawn and drive other CLIs through local tools.
tmux	Real provider CLI windows that keep running after the UI closes.

ReevesAgents is local by design. State is plain JSON under ~/.reeves, and the CLIs it starts are the same CLIs you already use by hand.

Tools

Four tools sit next to the coding CLIs. Perplexity CLI searches the web, Google Colab CLI runs scripts and notebooks on CPU, GPU and TPU runtimes, Hugging Face CLI downloads and uploads models and datasets and runs jobs on the Hub, and Ollama runs local or cloud models from the terminal. Agents call them from their own shell.

reevesagents tools lists the four with a purpose, an example command, and whether each is installed and signed in (for Ollama: reachable). Add --json for scripts. An agent with the MCP attached gets the same list from list_tools.

Install

ReevesAgents needs Node.js 22.12+, tmux 3.0+, and at least one supported provider CLI installed and authenticated. It supports macOS, Linux, and WSL.

Screenshots

The TUI and Web UI drive the same local runs:

Commands

No arguments launches the TUI.

Command	Purpose
`reevesagents`	Launch the TUI.
`spawn [spec...]`	Start a run. Each spec is `provider[:nickname[:model]]`.
`add [spec...]`	Add agents to the most recent active run.
`runs`	List active runs.
`agents [run-id]`	List agents across runs or inside one run.
`open`	Jump to a run or agent tmux window.
`peek`	Print recent output from one agent.
`send`	Paste text into an agent without submitting.
`key`	Send `enter`, `escape`, arrows, `tab`, `space`, `backspace`, or `ctrl-c`.
`interrupt`	Send Ctrl-C to one agent.
`stop`	Stop a run. Requires `--yes` or `ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=1`.
`kill`	Stop one agent. Requires `--yes` or `ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=1`.
`setup`	First-run check. `--attach` connects every installed host CLI.
`doctor`	Check Node, tmux, state, and provider CLIs.
`web`	Start the loopback-only Web UI.
`providers`	List provider ids, aliases, models, and availability.
`tools`	List Perplexity, Google Colab, Hugging Face and Ollama with purpose, example, and install and sign-in state.
`approvals`	List pending approval requests.
`approve` / `deny`	Resolve one approval request.

`config [key] [value]`	Show or update editable settings.
`flow start`	Attach a dev → review → fix workflow to existing agents in a run.
`flow status`	Show progress, agent questions, open incidents, and the last tick receipt.
`flow tick` / `flow tick-all`	Advance one flow or all flows; `--dry-run` observes without sending. Automatic progression requires an external scheduler.
`flow plan import\	attach\	next\	status\	set`	Import a plan, attach briefs, inspect the next item or progress, and make explicit owner decisions.
`flow add-spec` / `flow drop-spec`	Manage standalone queued work.

`flow logs` / `flow notes`	Inspect transitions and review findings.
`flow incidents list\	claim\	ack\	resolve`	Inspect incidents, claim or acknowledge ownership, and resolve with a note.
`notifications list` / `notifications read`	Inspect notification history and mark events read.
`presets`	List saved run presets.
`save-preset`	Save a live run as a preset.
`start-preset`	Start a run from a preset.
`delete-preset`	Delete a preset.
`delete`	Delete one ended agent record. Requires confirmation.
`delete-run`	Delete one ended run and archive it. Requires confirmation.
`history`	List archived runs.
`delete-history`	Delete one archived history record. Requires confirmation.
`reap`	End zombie agents and agents past `max_lifetime_ms`, and kill orphan tmux sessions no run record owns.

Common flags:

--json: available on script-facing list and action commands.
--name : name a run.
--cwd : run agents from a directory.
--prompt : paste startup text into each spawned agent.
--skip: skip provider permission prompts for unattended workers.
--run : add agents to a specific run.
--port and --no-open: Web UI startup options.

Agent Control

Agent Control is an optional MCP server. Attach it only to a CLI you trust to drive local tools:

reevesagents attach claude

reevesagents hosts

After restart, that CLI receives tools to spawn, read, send_text, send_key, interrupt, kill, stop, manage approvals, manage presets, and inspect hosts. The provider catalog is also exposed as reevesagents://providers.

In Claude Code you can install the connection and its operating instructions together as a plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add mertkayacs/reevesagents

claude plugin install reevesagents@reevesagents

The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.mertkayacs/reevesagents.
