agentproto CLI

agentproto CLI is a command-line tool designed to install, run, and orchestrate agent CLIs and adapters. It serves as the reference host for AgentProto adapters, allowing users to run individual turns, maintain sessions, serve as a daemon, and manage swarms of agents. The tool is distributed as a single binary and can be installed globally using npm.

Key features include the ability to run agents locally, either for a single turn or as persistent sessions, and to install various adapters such as claude-code and hermes. Sessions are managed in a live dashboard panel, which provides a session sidebar and multiple views per session, including terminal, chat, JSON, and event views. The panel supports shareable deep-links over a tunnel, enabling remote access and collaboration. agentproto CLI can detect and communicate with daemons on local or remote ports within a specified range.

The tool supports exposing a machine as a daemon over an outbound WebSocket tunnel after logging in via device flow. It offers swarm orchestration by composing a substrate, dispatcher, and participants as defined in a manifest, with kernel routing and plugin extensibility. The daemon functions as an MCP server, providing HTTP transport for Claude Code and includes a bundled stdio bridge.

agentproto CLI is suitable for users who need to manage and orchestrate multiple agent CLIs and adapters, providing both local and remote management capabilities through its command-line interface and live dashboard panel.
