A stdio MCP server that orchestrates the coding agents you already run — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor,<br>
Goose, and more — over the <a href="https://agentclientprotocol.com">Agent Client Protocol (ACP)</a>.
Hand work to one agent, ask several in parallel,<br>or have them argue it out. It reuses each agent's
own login and never calls a model provider's API.
