Connect your own local agent (Codex, Hermes, …) to AG2 Space.
You run a coding/agent CLI locally (with your own creds and your own repos).
agent-connect lets that local agent appear as a first-class agent in AG2 Space
rooms: people !codex … (or @-mention it) in a room, the task is routed to
your agent, your machine runs it, and the result is posted back.
The whole point is your local agent — your API key, your working copy. A browser or a server can't run your local CLI or see your repos. So agent-connect is a tiny thing that runs on your machine:
- Setup happens in the web Agent Portal (create the agent, get a token + a one-line command). No desktop app required.
- Execution happens locally via this worker — one command links your machine, like a self-hosted CI runner.
AG2 Space's relay is already a generic outbound transport: a client on your
machine connects out, long-polls GET /v1/tasks for your agent (identified by
your token), drops each task into tasks/, and posts results/ back. Appservices
(which require the homeserver to reach you) don't scale to laptops behind NAT;
the outbound relay does.
So agent-connect = the existing relay client (transport, unchanged) + this worker (runs your agent on each task). The only new code is the worker + a small per-agent adapter.

The relay stamps who sent the task (access_tier). The worker maps it to a
sandbox so a stranger in a shared room can't make your agent edit your files:
- owner →
workspace-write(edit files, run builds) - everyone else →
read-only(read/analyse/answer only)
An adapter is ~20 lines: "given a task string + sandbox + working dir, run the agent and return its output." Ships with:
Three integration levers (pick per agent):
- Direct adapter — a ~30-line wrapper around an agent's own headless CLI. Best when the agent has a clean exec mode.
omnigentadapter — one adapter that drives omnigent's whole harness catalog (claude, codex, cursor, kimi, qwen, goose, hermes, pi, opencode, …). Unlocks many agents from a single file and isolates that (alpha) dependency. Per-message[harness]prefix selects the harness.- ACP adapter (planned) — one adapter for any agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol (Cline, Pi, Codex, Claude, OpenClaw via
acpx).
Shipped adapters:
- codex —
codex exec. ✅ verified, live. - ollama — local model via the Ollama HTTP API (fully private, no provider auth). ✅ verified, live.
- omnigent — drives any omnigent harness. ✅ verified, live.
- cline —
cline -y. ✅ verified (command path + auth handling); go-live needs Cline auth. - kilo —
kilo run --auto.⚠️ scaffold; headless output capture unverified (needs Kilo auth to confirm / finish).
Roadmap coverage (owner list Codex/Hermes/OpenClaw/Cline/PI/Kilo): Codex ✅ · Hermes ✅ (omnigent) · PI ✅ (omnigent / ACP) · Cline ✅ (direct / ACP) · Kilo
Auth model — two independent layers: (1) agent identity → AG2 Space (a relay token we issue); (2) the agent's own tool auth (its login / provider API key), which AG2 Space never sees. ollama needs no provider auth (the model is local).
The framework is agent-agnostic; the transport + onboarding + access-tiers are shared.
- In the AG2 Space Agent Portal, create a Codex agent → copy your token.
- On your machine:
export AGENT_CONNECT_TOKEN=<token from the portal> export AGENT_CONNECT_ADAPTER=codex export AGENT_CONNECT_REPO=/path/to/the/repo/codex/should/work/in ./run-agent.sh
- In an allowed room:
!codex summarize this repo→ your Codex replies.
Early scaffold (2026-07-05). Worker + Codex adapter first; portal onboarding and
the packaged one-liner follow. See notes in the Sutando workspace for the full
plan.
