AgentsMesh creates isolated AgentPods — each a containerized execution environment with a PTY terminal, Git worktree sandbox, and browser-accessible terminal view — managed via gRPC commands from the backend. Runners register with the backend using mTLS, receive lifecycle commands (spawn, terminate, execute), and maintain persistent connections for real-time state synchronization. Each Pod is a separate process boundary with its own filesystem sandbox and terminal session, enabling parallel multi-agent execution without cross-contamination.
Unique: Uses gRPC-based command streaming with mTLS for secure Runner communication, combined with Git worktree sandboxing per Pod, enabling true process-level isolation without container overhead per agent. Most competing platforms (Aider, Claude Code) run agents sequentially on local machines; AgentsMesh decouples execution from developer machines entirely.
vs alternatives: Enables true parallel multi-agent execution with process isolation, whereas Aider and Claude Code run sequentially on local machines; scales to team workflows without saturating developer hardware.
Agents communicate asynchronously through Channels — named message queues managed by the backend and relayed to connected Runners via gRPC streaming. When an agent publishes a message to a Channel, the backend broadcasts it to all Runners with subscribed Pods, which deliver it to the agent's terminal or MCP interface. The Relay component handles session management and heartbeat-based connection health tracking, ensuring messages reach agents even if network conditions are unstable.
Unique: Implements Channels as a first-class abstraction in the platform, with gRPC streaming for low-latency delivery and Relay-based session management for resilience. Unlike generic message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka), Channels are tightly integrated with Pod lifecycle and MCP tool invocations, enabling agents to discover and communicate with peers dynamically.
vs alternatives: Provides native inter-agent communication without requiring external message brokers or custom integration code, whereas multi-agent frameworks like LangGraph or AutoGen require manual queue setup.
AgentsMesh abstracts agent type as a configurable parameter when spawning a Pod. Supported agents include Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Aider, each with different CLI interfaces and capabilities. When a Pod is created, the Runner installs the specified agent binary and configures it with environment variables (API keys, model selection). The agent runs in the Pod's terminal, and AgentsMesh orchestrates its lifecycle without imposing constraints on the agent's internal behavior. Custom agents can be supported by providing a startup script or binary.
Unique: Abstracts agent type as a configurable parameter, enabling support for multiple AI coding agents (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Aider) without platform-specific constraints. This is distinct from platforms built around a single agent (e.g., Claude Code is Claude-only).
vs alternatives: Supports multiple AI coding agents in the same platform, whereas most agent platforms are tied to a single provider (Claude Code → Anthropic, Copilot → OpenAI).
The Runner maintains workspace state for each Pod, including current Git branch, commit history, uncommitted changes, and file modifications. Agents can query workspace state via MCP tools or REST API to understand the current code context. The Runner tracks Git state by running git commands (git status, git log, git diff) and caching results. This enables agents to make informed decisions about which files to edit, which branches to work on, and whether changes are ready for commit.
Unique: Provides agents with queryable workspace state including Git branch, commit history, and uncommitted changes, enabling agents to make informed code decisions. This is distinct from agents that blindly edit files without understanding context.
vs alternatives: Gives agents visibility into code context and Git state, whereas most agent platforms require agents to manually run git commands or have no Git awareness.
The Runner supports auto-update, where the backend can trigger a Runner to download and restart itself with a new binary version. The update process is designed for zero-downtime: existing Pods are allowed to complete, new Pod creation is paused during update, and the Runner restarts with the new binary. This enables platform updates without manual intervention or downtime for running agents.
Unique: Implements auto-update with zero-downtime by allowing existing Pods to complete while pausing new Pod creation during update. This is distinct from container-based platforms where updates require container restart.
vs alternatives: Enables zero-downtime Runner updates without manual intervention, whereas most platforms require manual restart or container orchestration.
The Relay component manages Runner-to-Backend communication with session persistence and heartbeat-based health checking. When a Runner connects, the Relay establishes a session and monitors heartbeat messages. If the connection drops, the Relay maintains session state and allows the Runner to reconnect without losing context. This enables Runners to survive temporary network outages without losing Pod state or pending commands.
Unique: Implements Relay-based session management with heartbeat health checking, enabling Runners to survive temporary network outages without losing Pod state. This is distinct from stateless platforms where connection loss results in state loss.
vs alternatives: Provides session persistence and automatic reconnection, whereas stateless platforms require manual recovery or lose state on connection loss.
Bindings allow one agent to observe and control another agent's terminal by establishing a read/write connection to a peer Pod's PTY. When Agent A creates a Binding to Agent B's Pod, Agent A gains terminal access to Agent B's session, enabling scenarios like one agent monitoring another's progress or taking over execution. Bindings are managed via MCP tools exposed by the Runner's MCP server, which translates tool invocations into gRPC commands to the backend's Runner Connection Manager.
Unique: Implements Bindings as a first-class terminal-level abstraction, where agents can directly read/write peer PTY sessions via MCP tool invocations. This is distinct from message-passing or API-based agent communication — Bindings provide raw terminal access, enabling agents to interact with peer agents as if they were human users at a terminal.
vs alternatives: Enables true terminal-level agent-to-agent interaction, whereas most multi-agent frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen) use function calling or message passing, which requires explicit agent design for inter-agent protocols.
The Runner exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that agents can invoke to autonomously spawn new Pods, create Bindings, and manage Channels without human intervention. Tools like create_pod, create_binding, and publish_to_channel are registered in the MCP server (runner/internal/mcp/http_server.go) and translated to gRPC commands sent to the backend. This enables agents to dynamically scale their own execution environment — e.g., an agent can spawn a new Pod for a subtask, bind to it for monitoring, and coordinate via Channels.
Unique: Exposes Pod and Binding management as MCP tools directly to agents, enabling agents to self-service infrastructure without human intervention. The Runner's MCP server (runner/internal/mcp/http_server.go) translates tool invocations to gRPC commands, creating a tight feedback loop between agent decisions and infrastructure changes.
vs alternatives: Agents can autonomously manage their execution environment via MCP tools, whereas most multi-agent platforms require external orchestrators or human operators to provision resources.
