AgentDrive Overview

AgentDrive MCP server gives agents a shared workspace for versioned files, semantic artifact search, persistent memory, session handoffs, and run provenance. It connects through a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint or a local stdio process installed with npx, with project scope derived from the working directory. Reach for it when work moves between Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or other MCP-aware hosts and agents need continuity across sessions. Experimental sandbox tools can clone repositories and run commands when the AgentDrive worker has the required Cloudflare Containers plan.

Primary Use Cases for AgentDrive:
  • Resume work started by another coding agent
  • Search prior artifacts and persistent project facts
  • Share reviewed files with human collaborators
  • Track agent runs and cross-agent provenance
