Agy Headless Bridge Overview

agy-headless-bridge MCP server runs Google Antigravity CLI (agy) prompts from non-TTY environments and returns usable text instead of empty output. It allocates ConPTY on Windows or the POSIX pty module, starts agy with a terminal-like stream, then removes ANSI and TUI artifacts. The package offers Python, command-line, and MCP entry points, including agy_ask and agy_research. Reach for it when subprocesses, CI jobs, coding agents, or MCP clients need to invoke an installed and authenticated agy binary.

Primary Use Cases for Agy Headless Bridge:
  • Invoke agy from a CI job without a terminal
  • Call Antigravity from a Python subprocess wrapper
  • Expose agy prompts as tools to an MCP client
  • Run coding requests against a project workspace
