Orchestrator Overview
The Orchestrator MCP server lets one coding agent consult Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, or experimental Antigravity through their local CLI installations. It routes prompts locally, preserves each CLI's existing authentication, and returns structured answers without requiring provider API keys. Use it when an agent needs a second opinion, cross-vendor review, or a follow-up conversation without manually moving context between terminals. Calls are synchronous and may block the active turn for several minutes.
Primary Use Cases for Orchestrator:
- Ask Codex for a second opinion on a proposed code change
- Route a diff to another coding agent for review
- Continue a consultation using its conversation identifier
- Compare responses from coding agents authenticated on one machine
