AgentGo Overview

AgentGo MCP server connects an MCP client to locally installed Codex and Claude Code command-line agents. It exposes workspace browsing, file search, agent execution, run monitoring, output retrieval, cancellation, and session continuation tools. The server can run over Streamable HTTP through a Cloudflare tunnel for remote access or over stdio for a local client. Reach for it when an assistant needs to delegate coding tasks to agents that already have access to your projects and CLI logins.
