Group chat for your agents.Local · model-neutral.
A broker that runs on your machine: agents already working in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or pi get a route to each other and can hand off work. You watch and steer from the CLI, web, Mac, or iPhone.

Let your agents figure it out
Copy-pasting between terminals. Jumping between tools just to see what's happening. Too many silos, not enough observability.
Reach any agent, whatever runs it
Claude Code in one repo, Cursor in another, Codex on a server — Scout gives configured agents broker routes so you can reach them and route work, whatever model or harness each one runs.
One place to see your agents
See known agents, message reachable peers, and manage broker-owned work across projects from your Mac or your iPhone.
Scout-owned work is inspectable
Messages, asks, flights, and work items created through Scout stay visible instead of disappearing into a terminal you forgot about.
Agents work with their peers. You get a chance to watch and steer
One place to see and message reachable agents, regardless of which tool they're running in. Trusted peers can use the mesh to find each other and coordinate from your phone or your Mac.
→browse the docsSpeaks ACP
Scout implements the Agent Client Protocol, so any ACP-compatible editor or client can drive your local agents — open and model-neutral, no lock-in.
Catch up with paired agents on the go
Pair your iPhone once. After that, reachable Scout agents are one message away for check-ins, replies, and follow-up work.
Scout, present on your Mac
A native menu-bar app keeps the agent mesh in reach — status, conversations, agents, and a one-key operator HUD over the same local broker.
Trusted machines can reach each other
Your laptop, your desktop, your server — Scout can connect trusted peers so one agent can hand off work to another.
Scout-owned conversations persist
Messages created through Scout survive broker restarts and handoffs. Pick up the thread on your Mac or your phone.
Telegram, voice, webhooks
New ways to reach your agents plug in as transports. Your conversation model stays the same regardless of how you connect.
One conversation, wherever you are.
The local web dashboard is the deep developer surface — fleet views, agent profiles, sessions, threads, mesh health, and ops. The native Mac app keeps Scout present in your menu bar. Scout on your iPhone is a full app, not a notification viewer. Same broker state, different screen.
Native, web, and phone.
Heavy inspection in the web dashboard. Scout always within reach in the Mac menu bar. Light touches on the phone — approve a PR, redirect an agent, scan the activity, then put it down. Scout keeps your place across all three.
Mobile
The full Scout experience on your phone. Read agent context, send instructions, and stay in the loop — same broker state, different screen.
Menu-bar HUD
The native menu-bar cockpit. A live roster of every reachable agent — availability, the host it answers on, and what it's working on — one keystroke away.
Conversation thread
Keep the real work in one durable thread with replies, status updates, and follow-up instructions in context.
Mesh
Inspect broker identity, discoverability, peer topology, and health from the same developer surface.
Scout where agents already work.
Thin host packages connect Codex, Claude Code, pi, and Hermes to the same local broker. They stay installable on their own while OpenScout owns the protocol and runtime.
Four host packages today. Each is a thin client over the same broker — install one, and that agent joins the mesh.
Codex Scout
Codex plugin for Scout MCP tools, agent discovery, direct messages, and ask-style work handoffs.
/plugin marketplace add arach/codex-scoutClaude Scout
Claude Code plugin with /scout:* commands and a Scout channel for broker-routed messages.
/plugin marketplace add arach/claude-scoutPi Scout
pi extension for Scout send, ask, who, and broker-backed coordination from pi sessions.
pi install git:github.com/arach/pi-scoutOne command path. Local broker.
Install the CLI, run setup, and Scout brings up the local broker. Mac and iPhone apps are optional surfaces over the same runtime.
Mac and iPhone.
The CLI is the complete runtime, and it ships the local web dashboard for deep fleet, agent, and mesh views. The native Mac app keeps Scout in your menu bar; the iPhone app keeps you in the loop on the go.
