mpai
mpai (open source)
Terminal-native, open-source tool that lets a teammate join your live Claude Code or Codex session over a private tailnet.
Key features
- Live Session Join: A teammate opens your in-flight Codex or Claude Code conversation from their own terminal without losing context.
- Named Identity Prompting: Every prompt is attributed to the person who typed it, so audit trails show who steered the agent.
- Private Tailnet Transport: Sessions travel over a Tailscale-style overlay network — no public relay, no third-party server.
- Terminal-Native, No New IDE: Works with the CLI agents you already run; nothing changes about your editor or model.
- Ephemeral Rooms: Start a short-lived room (e.g. 5-minute) for a quick pair session and it closes on its own.
- Access Controls and Audit: Presence, transcript, list, and prompt routes all share the same access check with an audit log.
- Open Source: Full source is on GitHub; self-host end to end.
Best for
- Pair Debugging: Hand a stuck agent session to a teammate so they can prompt from their own terminal without cloning context.
- Code Review of Agent Work: Reviewer joins live to steer or challenge the agent instead of reading the diff cold.
- Onboarding: Senior engineer takes a junior through a real agent session in real time.
- Long-Running Task Hand-off: Pass a multi-hour Codex refactor to the next shift without losing the running conversation.
- Security-Conscious Teams: Collaborate on agent work without routing traffic through a hosted SaaS relay.
