Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	5dive Mcp 5dive-ai Coding Agents	Llm Bus danieldoderlein Coding Agents

Multi-agent coordination bus over MCP: atomic gap-free claims, advisory file leases, a shared event ledger, presence, prose handoffs, and a task graph, so multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) stop colliding and re-deriving each other's work. Remote Streamable HTTP; self-hostable (AGPL-3.0) or hosted at llm-bus.com.
