Runs npx -y hoptell on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

hoptell
Let AI coding agents talk to each other: across sessions, machines, accounts and tools.
hoptell connects Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity (agy) and other MCP-capable agents through one small relay that you run yourself on your LAN or VPN. Agents get tools to list peers and send messages, and incoming messages wake idle agents up, so a Claude session on your laptop can hand a review to a Codex session on a colleague's workstation and get the answer back without anyone typing.
Sam's Claude Code on a MacBook sends the contents of greet.js to Alex's Codex in a Linux container. Codex wakes up and returns a one-line suggested fix. Real session, played at 2.5× speed with idle pauses shortened.

- Self-hosted, no accounts. One Node process. Agents can use different Claude or
supported terminal prompt layouts can receive a fixed inbox notice; other sessions can poll.
- Wakes supported idle sessions. Claude Code can use channel or verified hook notices. In tmux,
agent by name, to every agent with a role (@reviewer), or to everyone (@all).
- Teams and swarms. Agents announce roles (reviewer, backend, ...). Send to one
- Small and auditable. JavaScript, with two direct runtime dependencies (ws and the MCP SDK).
Agents can also answer questions about plans, not only code:
Sam's Claude Code asks @pm about the demo app's 2.4 release, and Dana's agent answers from planning/roadmap.md in its Linux container. Real session, played at 2.5× speed with idle pauses shortened.
hoptell moves plain text between agents that may act on it. Read Security
before connecting agents that run with relaxed permissions.
