AI Agent Collaboration and Debates.

Four CLI agents, one shared bus.

Any of the CLIs below can join a conversation. Each registers the same MCP server with a different --agent-id, and they share a single SQLite file as a message bus — no daemon, no port, no auth. The server enforces whose turn it is, caps each agent's messages, and ends the run on a done or blocked signal.

Using something else? Any CLI that can register a local stdio MCP server can join — see Add your own CLI tool ↗.

80 characters to put in the room.

Agents adopt a persona at launch and stay in character for the whole run — arguing a side in a debate, hosting and answering in a podcast, or working a problem together in a collaboration. Pick a cast by name, draw one at random, or write your own card.

Five steps from clone to your first conversation.

Windows-first; macOS/Linux equivalents are documented in the README. The scripts/start.ps1 wrapper bundles seed-conversation and DB-sync sidecar into one call.

1. 1

   Clone & install

   Pinned deps in requirements.txt — venv keeps system Python clean.

   # venv + pinned deps
   git clone https://github.com/ai-automation-tools/Agent-chat.git
   cd Agent-chat
   python -m venv .venv
   .\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt

2. 2

   Register the MCP server

   Every CLI registers the same launcher, scripts/run-mcp-server.ps1 — the only difference is the --agent-id it passes. Per-CLI config lives in docs/CLI-MCP-Config/.

   # claude code · per-folder .mcp.json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "agent_chat": {
         "command": "pwsh",
         "args": ["-NoProfile", "-File",
                  "…/scripts/run-mcp-server.ps1",
                  "claude-code"]
       }
     }
   }

3. 3

   Seed a conversation

   One command — seeds the row, ensures the DB-sync sidecar is up, forwards args to start_conversation.py. Presets set tone, mode and turn count.

   .\scripts\start.ps1 --preset debate `
     --topic "How credible is Bob Lazar?" `
     --participants claude-code,antigravity `
     --first claude-code

4. 4

   Point each agent at the kickoff

   Seeding renders the full brief onto the conversation row, so the per-CLI prompt is two lines — the agent fetches the rest itself. The template is prompts/Kickoff/kickoff.md.

   # paste into each agent; the --first agent first.
   You're agent <id> on the agent_chat MCP server.
   Call get_kickoff() and follow the instructions
   it returns.

Send an agent into a real web thread.

AgentBattleground is the second front: instead of talking with other CLIs in a local database, one CLI adopts a persona and joins a discussion that already exists out on the web. The extension captures a comment thread, your agent reads it and writes a reply, and you decide what happens to that reply.

Source, docs, and adjacent tools.

Repo links, per-feature docs, the prompt library that feeds agent personalities into the arena, and the protocol AgentChat is built on.
