Zoogent tools (37, 13 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
add_memoryAdd a memory entry for an agent
approve_knowledgeApprove a draft team knowledge entry
archive_knowledgeArchive a team knowledge entry
assign_skillAssign a skill to an agent
create_agentwrite actionRegister a new agent. Default runtime is "typescript": provide `source` with TS code (zoogent bundles and stores it; the agent is ready to run). Omit source to register the agent and upload code later via write_agent_code. For binaries or non-TS scripts use runtime="exec" with `command` and `args`. After create: assign_skill, then trigger_agent to test.
create_integrationwrite actionAdd an integration (3rd party API key) to an agent. Env vars are injected on spawn as INTEGRATION_{NAME}_{FIELD}.
create_skillwrite actionCreate a new skill in the selected team
create_taskwrite actionCreate a task for an agent
create_teamwrite actionCreate a new team and auto-select it
delete_agentwrite actionRemove an agent and its code
delete_integrationwrite actionRemove an integration from an agent
delete_memorywrite actionDelete a memory entry
disable_agentDisable an agent and unschedule
enable_agentEnable an agent and reschedule
get_agentGet agent details including runs, skills, and bundle status
get_agent_codeRead the current TypeScript source and bundle status for an agent. Use to inspect before editing.
get_agent_guideLoad design methodology and reference docs. Topics: team-design (Jobs-Roles-Flows), agent-patterns (boilerplate examples), code-generation (blessed deps, SDK API, import examples), skill-writing, debugging, platform-rules. Omit topic to read all. Call before designing agents.
get_budget_statusGet spending vs budget for all agents
get_costsGet cost summary by agent and model
get_logsGet stdout/stderr for an agent run
get_memoriesGet agent memories, optionally filtered by tags or search
get_skillGet skill content and metadata
get_startedCheck ZooGent status, list teams, and guide the user through setup. Call this first.
get_taskGet task details including evaluations
list_agentsList all agents in the selected team with status, last run, monthly cost, and bundle readiness
list_integrationsList integrations for an agent (credentials masked)
list_skillsList all skills in the selected team
list_tasksList tasks, optionally filtered
list_team_knowledgeList team knowledge entries
list_teamsList all teams
select_teamSelect a team to work with. All subsequent operations will be scoped to this team.
trigger_agentManually trigger an agent run. Requires the agent to have runnable code (typescript: uploaded source; exec: command set).
unassign_skillwrite actionRemove a skill from an agent
update_agentwrite actionUpdate agent configuration (not code — use write_agent_code for source).
update_memorywrite actionUpdate an existing memory
update_skillwrite actionUpdate skill content
write_agent_codewrite actionUpload TypeScript source for a typescript-runtime agent. Zoogent bundles with esbuild and replaces the stored code atomically. Returns esbuild errors on failure (e.g. unknown import — not in the blessed deps list). Does not apply to exec-runtime agents. Use to iterate after create_agent.

ZooGent
Lightweight AI agent orchestrator with built-in Architect AI. Multi-team support - run isolated agent teams in a single instance. Describe what you want to automate, get working agents.
Quick Start
npx zoogent create my-agents
cd my-agents
npx zoogent startOpen http://localhost:3200. Create account > create team > add Anthropic API key in Team Settings > go to Architect and describe what you want to automate.
What is ZooGent
ZooGent is a process manager for AI agent teams. It spawns agents, routes tasks between them, tracks costs, and captures logs. Each agent is a standalone script that calls its own LLM.
Multi-team isolation - one instance, multiple teams. Each team has its own agents, skills, memory, knowledge, Architect chat, and API keys. Teams don't see each other's data.
Two ways to use it:
- Chat UI - open the Architect page in your browser, describe your task in plain language. The Architect AI designs the team, creates skills, writes agent code, and tests everything.
- Claude Code + MCP - connect MCP to Claude Code, build agents from the terminal with full control over code and configuration.
Both paths use the same API, same database, same agents. Pick whichever fits your workflow.
Getting Started
Path 1: Web UI + Architect
Local
npx zoogent create my-agents
cd my-agents
npx zoogent start- Open http://localhost:3200
- Create your account
- Create a team
- Go to Team Settings > add your Anthropic API key
- Go to Architect > describe what you want to automate
Architect designs agents, writes skills, generates code, and tests everything through conversation.
Server
npx zoogent create my-agents
cd my-agents
npx zoogent start -dSet BETTERAUTHURL to your public URL in .env. Use a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) or deploy via Docker (see Deployment section). The web UI is the same - just accessed remotely.
Path 2: Claude Code + MCP
Local
Start the server locally, then connect Claude Code via MCP:
npx zoogent create my-agents
cd my-agents
npx zoogent start -dAdd the MCP server to Claude Code. Run this from inside the project you want to work in — each project typically binds to its own ZooGent instance (its own SQLite, teams, agents, API keys), so the MCP config should live with the project:
claude mcp add zoogent -s project -- npx zoogent mcp-s project writes the config to .mcp.json in the project root — commit it and teammates who clone the repo get the same MCP setup automatically.
Claude Code auto-discovers the local server. Ask Claude to create a team and design your agents.
Remote server
Deploy ZooGent to a server (see Deployment). Open the web UI, create an account, go to Settings > generate an API key.
Run from inside the project that should connect to this ZooGent instance:
claude mcp add zoogent -s project \
-e ZOOGENT_URL=https://your-domain.com \
-e ZOOGENT_API_KEY=zg_your-key-from-settings \
-- npx zoogent mcpEach project can point at its own ZooGent (local or remote), with its own URL and API key. Keeping the config in the project's .mcp.json makes that mapping explicit. Use -s user instead only if you have a single shared ZooGent instance across all projects.
Alternative: configure via .mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"zoogent": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["zoogent", "mcp"],
"env": {
"ZOOGENT_URL": "https://your-domain.com",
"ZOOGENT_API_KEY": "zg_your-key-from-settings"
}
}
}
}Claude Code connects to the remote server. Create teams, design agents, write code - all through MCP tools. Agents run on the server.

Zoogent: common questions
- Is Zoogent MCP server safe?
- With care: it is graded C, so read the findings first (57/100). Read the Zoogent safety report
- How do I install Zoogent?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Zoogent need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
ZOOGENT_API_KEY. - Is Zoogent maintained?
- The last commit was 182 days ago (2026-05-06). The latest release is v0.4.2.
- What can I use instead of Zoogent?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: agent-device MCP server, PaperBanana MCP server and You.com Web Access & AI MCP server.
- How does Zoogent compare with other AI and agents MCP servers?
- safety score 57/100 (higher than 14% of 4,460 AI and agents servers); tools 37 (the typical AI and agents server has 6); tools that change things 35% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
