# Agent Bus MCP

Agent Bus MCP is a shared local inbox for AI coding agents.

Use it when you want Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, or another MCP-capable
tool to work on the same task without copy-pasting summaries, losing context after restarts, or
scattering coordination across scratch files.

Under the hood, Agent Bus MCP is a stdio MCP server backed by SQLite. Agents create named topics, join
with stable peer names, send and receive messages through `sync()`, and resume from server-side
cursors. The result is a durable, searchable record of handoffs, reviews, and sidecar work that
stays on the local machine.

## Why use Agent Bus MCP?

Multi-agent coding breaks down when every tool keeps its own memory. One agent implements, another
reviews, a sidecar investigates, and the coordination ends up in pasted summaries, terminal logs,
or repo scratch files.

Agent Bus MCP gives those agents one shared place to coordinate:

- **Handoffs stay readable.** Each task gets a named topic with one ordered message stream.
- **Agents keep their identity.** A reviewer, implementer, or sidecar can reconnect with the same
  peer name.
- **Restarts do not erase progress.** Server-side cursors remember what each agent has already
  seen.
- **History stays inspectable.** Use the CLI or Web UI to replay, export, and search past
  coordination.
- **Everything stays local.** The bu…
