AgentX Overview
AgentX connects an AI assistant to a cloud console for managing AI coding agents running on your own machines. The agents—Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Grok CLI—run through the AgentX daemon, while the MCP connection is hosted remotely and uses OAuth. Reach for it when you need an assistant to work with a distributed fleet of coding agents rather than a single local process. Connection management is available through the AgentX settings page.
Primary Use Cases for AgentX:
- Connect an assistant to coding agents running on multiple machines
- Manage a fleet of Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Grok CLI agents
- Authorize remote MCP access with OAuth
- Centralize connections to locally hosted coding agents
