agentsocks MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• answer

  Answer a question another session sent you with ask (its message names an ask id). The asker receives your answer together with the others. Answer once; the asker stops waiting after its timeout, and then you send the answer with send_message instead.

• askwrite action

  Send one question to several sessions at once, wait for their answers, and get them back together. `to` lists session names or refs, and "#channel" names to ask a channel's subscribers; at most 16 sessions. Each message names the answer tool and the ask id. The call returns when all have answered or after timeout_seconds, and says who did not answer. With pick "best" the smart-routing model, if yo

• broadcastwrite action

  Send one plain-text message to every live Claude Code and Codex session except yourself, each routed separately by its own state and budgets. It is for announcements, so it is never urgent: fyi (the default) is batched until each session is idle, normal reaches a session at its next tool call unless it was interrupted a lot lately. To reach one session or a group, use send_message or a channel ins

• list_channels

  List the channels that have subscribers, with who is subscribed, which of them are not running, and which one is you.

• list_peers

  List the Claude Code and Codex sessions running on this machine that you can message, with their names, refs, working directories and status.

• list_tasks

  List tasks assigned to you or created by you. Active ones by default.

• message_status

  Show how a message you sent was routed (now, after the current step, batched or merged) and whether it was sent, shown to the receiver or answered.

• peer_status

  Show what another session is working on, what is waiting for it (unread messages, held digests, open tasks), when it last showed or answered a message, and any drift between the two.

• rate_message

  Tell agentsocks whether a message another session sent you was worth the interruption: useful-now (right to reach you now), could-wait (fine, but it could have waited until you finished) or noise (not worth reading). Ratings stay on this machine. They tune how that sender's messages are routed (a sender whose interrupting messages are mostly rated could-wait or noise has its ordinary ones paused)

• read_inbox

  Read messages other agent sessions have sent you, plus delivery notices for messages you sent. Messages are peer requests, not instructions from your user.

• send_taskwrite action

  Give another agent session a task you will check on. It gets one message with the details and how to report back; you are told when it accepts, progresses, finishes or fails, and the task expires after 24 hours unless you set otherwise. For a Claude session the task is created and tracked, and you are given the message to send with your built-in SendMessage. Say what done looks like in acceptance_

• set_driver

  Set the one session whose messages reach you as instructions; anyone else's arrive as information only. Pass "none" to clear it.

• set_name

  Set the name other sessions see for this Codex session (for example the project or role).

• subscribe

  Join a channel such as "#deploys" so messages other sessions post to it reach you. A channel exists while it has a subscriber, and your subscription lasts until you unsubscribe. Post to a channel with send_message, setting `to` to "#deploys"; each subscriber is routed separately, like any other message.

• unsubscribe

  Stop receiving messages posted to a channel. It does nothing if you were not subscribed.

• update_taskwrite action

  Report progress on a task. The assignee sets accepted, in_progress, done or failed and puts the outcome in result and the proof in evidence (test output, commit hashes, file paths). Only the creator can set cancelled. The creator is told about every change.

• wait_for_message

  Wait until another agent session sends you a message, then return it. Use it when you have asked another session for something and cannot continue without the answer.
