[![CI](https://github.com/Maxlumiere/bot-relay-mcp/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Maxlumiere/bot-relay-mcp/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![Tether on VSCode Marketplace](https://img.shields.io/badge/VSCode%20Marketplace-Tether-007ACC?logo=visualstudiocode)](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lumiere-ventures.bot-relay-tether)

A local-first coordination bus for AI coding agents. Durable inboxes, task queues, and wakeups for Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Codex-style CLIs, scripts, and webhooks. Two interfaces, one shared SQLite database, zero infrastructure.

**37 MCP tools.** The headline feature is **hands-free, LLM-agnostic autowake**: agents running on different models (Claude Code, Codex) wake on relay mail and coordinate as a team without manual polling, via the [Tether VSCode extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lumiere-ventures.bot-relay-tether) plus a durable cross-process outbox, so an inbox change in one process wakes subscribers in another. See the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for the full phase-by-phase arc.

What is this?

bot-relay-mcp gives AI coding agents and external systems a way to coordinate.

**Two audiences, two transports:**

AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Zed) connect via stdio MCP. Drop one entry into ~/.claude.json and the relay's tools appear inside Claude. No daemon required.
External systems (n8n, Slack, Telegram, custom scripts) connect via HTTP+SSE with optional Bearer auth. Trigger agent actions or receive webhook events.

Everything reads and writes the same SQLite file at `~/.bot-relay/relay.db`. There is no cloud, no daemon you have to install, no service mesh.

Why not just use Claude Agent Teams?

Fair question. Claude Code v2.1.32 shipped Agent Teams — native multi-agent coordination inside Claude. If your setup is Claude-only and stays that way, use it. It's the right tool.
