Run Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, OpenCode, Hermes and one of the 26 other coding agents using MCP , CLI or TUI , WebUI.
Overview
ReevesAgents is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. ReevesAgents is a local workspace for AI coding CLIs. It runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, Pi, Aider, Gemini CLI, Cline CLI, Crush, Goose, Kilo Code, Letta Code, Mistral Vibe, Grok Build, Kiro CLI, Factory Droid, Qoder CLI, Warp, Junie CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor CLI, Rovo Dev CLI, and other provider CLIs side by side in tmux. You can use it as a normal CLI/TUI/Web UI, or attach its opt-in MCP so one agent can spawn, read, steer, and stop the rest. Provider logins stay inside each provider CLI. ReevesAgents keeps its own state as a few plain JSON files under ~/.reeves, and it runs only while you or an attached CLI are using it. Let one attached agent drive the others: Restart that CLI after attach so it loads the MCP tools. ReevesAgents is local by design. State is plain JSON under ~/.reeves, and the CLIs it starts are the same CLIs you already use by hand.

ReevesAgents is a local workspace for AI coding CLIs. It runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, Pi, Aider, Gemini CLI, Cline CLI, Crush, Goose, Kilo Code, Letta Code, Mistral Vibe, Grok Build, Kiro CLI, Factory Droid, Qoder CLI, Warp, Junie CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor CLI, Rovo Dev CLI, and other provider CLIs side by side in tmux. You can use it as a normal CLI/TUI/Web UI, or attach its opt-in MCP so one agent can spawn, read, steer, and stop the rest.
Provider logins stay inside each provider CLI. ReevesAgents keeps its own state
as a few plain JSON files under ~/.reeves, and it runs only while you or an
attached CLI are using it.
Quick Start
pnpm add -g reevesagents
reevesagents doctor
reevesagents
Start a run from the CLI:
reevesagents spawn claude-code:lead codex:tests hermes:research \
--name "release check" \
--prompt "Review the release path, test coverage, and docs."
Open the Web UI:
reevesagents web
Let one attached agent drive the others:
reevesagents attach codex
reevesagents hosts
Restart that CLI after attach so it loads the MCP tools.
What It Gives You
| Surface | Use it for |
|---|---|
| TUI | Keyboard-first run control inside the terminal. |
| Web UI | Local visual view of runs, panes, agents, approvals, and history. |
| CLI | Scripts, smoke checks, spawning, state cleanup, and tmux jumps. |
| Agent Control MCP | One trusted CLI can spawn and drive other CLIs through local tools. |
| tmux | Real provider CLI windows that keep running after the UI closes. |
ReevesAgents is local by design. State is plain JSON under ~/.reeves, and the
CLIs it starts are the same CLIs you already use by hand.
Tools
Four tools sit next to the coding CLIs. Perplexity CLI searches the web, Google Colab CLI runs scripts and notebooks on CPU, GPU and TPU runtimes, Hugging Face CLI downloads and uploads models and datasets and runs jobs on the Hub, and Ollama runs local or cloud models from the terminal. Agents call them from their own shell.
reevesagents tools lists the four with a purpose, an example command, and
whether each is installed and signed in (for Ollama: reachable). Add --json
for scripts. An agent with the MCP attached gets the same list from
list_tools.
