    peerbridge-mcp

    241Hoylon/peerbridge-mcp · Python

    PeerBridge MCP is a local-first control room that lets you run multiple coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Grok, Kimi, provider APIs, and local models) as one governed engineering team, with every message, decision, and edit recorded in a SHA-linked audit trail.

    agentreach

    179bojieli/agentreach · Go

    AgentReach (reach) is a CLI that lets you point your local coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) at any machine you can SSH into. The agent itself keeps running on your laptop, but every shell command and file read/write it makes is transparently redirected to the remote box over SSH, so your API key and the agent binary never touch the server.
