This package enables you to use AI agents like Goose, Aider, and Claude through any MCP-compatible client. It implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/protocol) specification to provide a standardized interface for controlling multiple AI agents.

## 🚀 Key Features

- **Multi-Agent Support**: Control Goose, Aider, Claude, and other agents through a unified interface
- **Agent Lifecycle Management**: Detect, install, start, stop, and restart agents
- **Message Handling**: Seamlessly send and receive messages between clients and agents
- **Health Monitoring**: Monitor agent and API health status
- **Flexible Transport**: Support for both stdio and SSE transport protocols
- **Command-Line Interface**: Comprehensive CLI for all operations
