Show HN: Agents Council – Connect Claude, Codex, and Local Agents via MCP

3 points by mrlesk a month ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Hello HN,

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's "LLM Council" concept, I built a lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets different AI agents communicate with each other locally.

Most multi-agent frameworks require complex orchestration or heavy installs. I wanted something simple that feels like it "just works".

The Problem: I often find myself manually copy-pasting context between coding agents (like Claude Code to Codex or vice versa) to get a second opinion.

The Solution: Agents Council is an MCP server that acts as a shared message bus. It runs locally via stdio and allows any MCP-compliant agent to "summon" other agents into a council session to debate solutions or review code.

Key Features:

Zero Install: Runs directly via npx agents-council@latest.

Summon other agents: agents can also summon other agents directly (for the moment only Claude Code is supported)

Privacy First: Works 100% offline if you are using local models; state is stored in a local JSON file.

Protocol Agnostic: Works with any client that supports MCP (Gemini, Cursor, etc.).

It’s open source and I’d love your feedback on the implementation or ideas for new integrations.
