AgentConnect
Open-source platform for teams to tag Claude Code, Codex and other ACP agents in Slack, Discord or GitHub.
AgentConnect is an Apache-2.0 open-source platform where teams work with Claude Code, Codex and other ACP-compatible agents in Slack, Discord, GitHub and other channels. Agents on your own daemons use your provider credentials and are never billed by AgentConnect; managed Cloud agents draw prepaid credits at provider API rates.
About AgentConnect
Per its FAQ, AgentConnect is an open-source platform where teams and multiple AI agents work together across Slack, Telegram, Discord, Lark, Google Chat, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Linear. You give each agent a role and choose its runtime, model, workspace, memory, tools, skills, permissions and machine; agents can call one another and remember what they learn. Work can start from a conversation, pull request, issue, webhook or schedule, and the team follows it in shared channels and one console.
It runs Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, DeepSeek, Pi or any ACP-compatible agent side by side, and you can connect your own provider subscriptions or API keys. Decisions powered by Jev decide when agents respond, route new conversations to specialist agents and pick a runtime and model for each session. The homepage lists tools such as Sentry, Linear, Notion, Gmail and Figma, says agents can work across 1,000+ apps, and says agents can be created and run from claude.ai or any AI client over MCP.
A small daemon runs the agents on any macOS, Linux or Windows machine with Node 24.12+, started with npx @agentconnect.md/cli run. AgentConnect OSS runs the web console, Control Plane, Relay and execution environment on your own infrastructure, with Docker Compose for local evaluation or a Helm chart for Kubernetes. AgentConnect Cloud is a hosted console for your own daemons that can also run agents on managed infrastructure, and BYOC, through Contact us, runs AgentConnect in your own cloud account.
Cloud is usage-based: placing an agent there costs nothing by itself, and you pay for its sessions' model usage at the provider's published API rates, with no markup, from a prepaid credit balance that owners top up. Agents keep conversations and workspace files in the execution environment you choose, relevant content goes to the model providers and tools you configure, and the Control Plane stores configuration, metadata and encrypted integration credentials.

AgentConnect pros and cons
Pros
- The whole stack is Apache-2.0 open source and can be self-hosted, keeping agent execution and workspaces in an environment you operate.
- Any ACP-compatible runtime plugs in, with the runtime and model chosen per agent, and the homepage says there is no lock-in.
- Cloud charges model usage at the provider's published API rates with no markup, and there is no overage billing.
- Permissions set who can see each agent and session, which repositories and tools it may use and which other agents it may call.
Cons
- Each machine that runs the daemon needs Node 24.12 or later.
- Cloud runs on prepaid credits; when the balance is exhausted, Cloud agents stop taking new model traffic until credits are added.
- Moving an agent to another machine or to Cloud recreates it from its saved definition and leaves its workspace, memory and transcripts behind.
- The pages give no price for BYOC, which goes through Contact us.

- What is AgentConnect?
- AgentConnect is an Apache-2.0 open-source platform where teams and multiple AI agents work together across Slack, Telegram, Discord, Lark, Google Chat, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Linear. Teams bring Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, DeepSeek, Pi or any ACP-compatible agent and tag it where the work happens.
- How is AgentConnect different from Claude Tag?
- AgentConnect calls itself the open-source, multi-agent alternative to Claude Tag: you choose your agents, and they work alongside your team and each other in the conversations and workflows you already use. You can also self-host AgentConnect on your own infrastructure.
- How do I log in to AgentConnect?
- The homepage's Go to console link, under AgentConnect Cloud, leads to the hosted management console, where you sign up and name your organization. A self-hosted AgentConnect OSS deployment runs its own web console in the infrastructure you operate.
- Which chat apps does AgentConnect work with?
- The homepage FAQ lists Slack, Telegram, Discord, Lark and Google Chat, plus GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Linear. Agents are linked to bots in those chat platforms or to repositories and workflows, and one Slack app can route each channel to a different agent while keeping one Slack identity.
- How much does AgentConnect cost?
- The stack is Apache-2.0 and can be self-hosted, and agents on daemons you connect are never billed by AgentConnect: they use your own provider credentials. On AgentConnect Cloud's managed infrastructure, where model access is included, you pay for model usage at the provider's published API rates with no markup, from prepaid credits.
