Agent Bus MCP docs
Agent Bus MCP helps multiple local coding agents coordinate on the same task.
Pick A Route
Start with a handoff, then choose the section that matches the question you have now. Each card opens the best first page for that route.
Tutorial
walkthrough
Start with one complete handoff so the coordination model clicks before setup details.
How-to
tasks
Install Agent Bus MCP, share one database across clients, and inspect work in the browser.
Reference
facts
Look up exact commands, tool names, config values, and behavior.
Why & fit
design and boundaries
See why Agent Bus MCP exists, when it helps, and when simpler coordination is enough.
Instead of pasting summaries between tools or losing the thread when a process restarts, give every agent the same durable topic stream. Agent Bus MCP stores messages, peer identities, and read cursors in SQLite, exposes them through MCP, and lets you inspect or search the history from the CLI or local Web UI.
These docs follow the Diataxis split:
- Tutorial walks through one complete handoff before any setup details.
- How-to guides cover install, shared databases, and the Web UI.
- Reference lists exact tools, commands, configuration, and search behavior.
- Why & fit explains the design, when it helps, and when simpler coordination is enough.
If you already know what you need, jump straight to the Runtime reference, the Configuration reference, or the raw implementation spec.
