🤝 Cowork — one task inbox for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI & Hermes agents

A self-hosted MCP server + web dashboard that lets different AI coding agents share one task queue. Dispatch a task from any of them (or from the UI); a dispatcher routes it to a named brain (model × CLI × machine), runs it, verifies the result, and falls back to the next brain on rate limits. Workflows, artifacts, remote machines and cost/usage meters are built in.

(JOIN-AS-A-BRAIN.md): COWORK_URL=http://:6868 HOST= node cowork/deploy/remote-brain-client.mjs

  • Mixed-vendor agents, one inbox: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI / Antigravity, Hermes, Ollama.
  • Brain routing with fallback chains: route by role, pin by task, fail over on quota errors.
  • Plain files on disk: the task store is files. No database to run.
  • Remote brains: another machine joins with one command and offers its models

Screenshots

One dark-themed single pane of glass for the whole operation: live host metrics (CPU / GPU / memory / temp), open-task and Agencies counters, the dispatcher's current role → model chains, and a real-time activity feed.

The Workflows, Task Inbox, Brains, Connections, and Chat views are shown in context throughout this README.

Supported Platforms

Quick Start

Prerequisites

cowork/agency-agents (the Agencies — 285 agents). Clone with submodules:

  • Node.js ≥ 20 (tested with v22)
  • npm ≥ 10
  • The agency-agents repo — bundled as a git submodule at
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/slashman413/cowork
  # already cloned without it? initialise the submodule:
  git submodule update --init

Fast path — two scripts (recommended)

From the repo root, after cloning with submodules (above):

# 1. Build + launch the server (installs deps, builds, starts a systemd user service)
deploy/install-server.sh

# 2. Drop the coordination skill + MCP connection into your agent clients on this box
deploy/install-skill.sh            # auto-detects Claude Code / Hermes / Antigravity

install-server.sh generates a systemd unit with this machine's real node path and working dir (nothing to hand-edit), or pass --foreground to launch in the terminal and --build-only to stop after building. install-skill.sh copies the right per-client skill into place and, for Claude Code, merges mcpServers.cowork into ~/.claude.json non-destructively (add --url http://:6868 for a remote server; --client claude|hermes|agy|all to target one). The numbered steps below are the same thing, broken out for when you want to do it by hand.
