Consult MCP Overview
The consult-mcp MCP server lets coding agents ask Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and Antigravity for code advice through their existing CLIs. It supports individual questions, parallel opinions, continued advisor sessions, repository diff reviews, and optional live-session messaging or task dispatch. Install it with npx so agent hosts can launch the server and use the subscriptions already configured on the machine, without API keys. Reach for it when a change needs an independent review, a debugging attempt is stalled, or an architecture decision carries significant risk.
Primary Use Cases for Consult MCP:
- Ask another vendor to review an implementation plan
- Compare several advisors on a difficult debugging question
- Review uncommitted changes before merging
- Continue a conversation with the same coding advisor
