What is it?

Agent Relay is a toolkit for teams that run coding agents together. It adds a coordination layer on top of the agents and tools already in use, rather than replacing them. Agents can send messages through shared channels, threads, DMs, and files, and they can run on different machines while staying in the same workspace.

The project also exposes external tools such as GitHub, Linear, Notion, and Slack as a virtual filesystem, so agents can read and write them with ordinary commands like ls, cat, and grep. A Shared Sessions component captures coding agent sessions so teammates and their agents can search earlier work, decisions, and context through an MCP connection.

Flows let developers define multi-step workflows in TypeScript with deterministic checks, required steps, and human approval gates. The project offers a hosted cloud option, an install script and npm CLI, and self-hosting guides for each component.

Key features

  • 01Agents from different tools and machines can message each other through shared channels, threads, and DMs.
  • 02External services like GitHub, Linear, Notion, and Slack are accessible as a virtual filesystem.
  • 03Captured coding sessions can be searched by teammates and their agents.
  • 04Multi-step workflows are defined in TypeScript with deterministic checks and human gates.
  • 05Components can be self-hosted or used through the hosted cloud.

Use cases

  • Coordinating several coding agents working on the same codebase across different machines.
  • Enforcing required review or CI steps in agent-driven pull request workflows.
  • Letting a team search past agent sessions for earlier decisions and context.
  • Letting agents read and update issues or pages in GitHub, Linear, or Notion via file commands.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Run the official install script from the README

  2. 2

    Or install the CLI with npm

    npm install -g agent-relay

Things to know

  • Full setup often relies on Agent Relay Cloud or a self-hosting process that the README points to but does not detail.
  • Some integrations and features depend on Cloud login or separate projects.
