index

A reference and interface for connecting to twelve local coding agents through the Agent Client Protocol, a shared way for software tools to communicate with coding agents. It describes installation, authentication, supported connection types, and agent availability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an agent, check its protocol and MCP support, list available models or sessions where supported, and install or authenticate agents such as Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode.
Why use it?
It makes different coding agents easier to compare and use through a consistent API, while showing where their installation and connection support differs.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

index scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agents

agents-wire supports twelve local coding agents, all speaking ACP (Agent Client Protocol). The API surface is identical across all agents - the differences are in how you install and authenticate each one.

Overview

Agent ID Protocol mode Native session listing MCP http/sse MCP stdio
Claude Code claude bridge
Codex CLI codex bridge
Cursor cursor native
GitHub Copilot copilot bridge
Gemini CLI gemini bridge
OpenCode opencode native
Factory Droid droid native
Pi pi native (non-ACP)
Cline cline native
Kilo kilo native
Qwen Code qwen native
Augment Code auggie native

Protocol mode:

  • bridge - the SDK includes or expects a peer-installed ACP bridge package that wraps the underlying CLI.
  • native - the agent speaks ACP directly.

MCP http/sse: whether the agent accepts HTTP or SSE MCP server configurations (checked via CapabilityNotSupportedError).

Model Selection by Agent

options.model and options.effort behave differently across agents. The table below documents what actually happens today so you can set expectations correctly.

Agent What options.model does What options.effort does Model source How to verify
claude sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption({ configId: "reasoning_effort" }) (Claude uses token-budget thinking; likely ignored) session-config check session.configOptions for the exact knobs Claude advertises
codex becomes -c model="X" CLI arg (works) becomes -c model_reasoning_effort="X" (works; kind: enum, values: low / medium / high) session-config verified via codex-acp --help
cursor sent via ACP modelPreference (silently ignored by current cursor-agent acp) baked into model id (kind: variant, e.g. -low, -high, -xhigh suffix) live-list use agent --list-models for the live list; configure default via the Cursor app
copilot sent via ACP modelPreference (best-effort) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) session-config --
gemini sent via ACP modelPreference (best-effort; gemini --acp does not take CLI flags) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) session-config --
opencode sent via ACP modelPreference (silently ignored by current opencode acp) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) live-list use opencode models for the live list
droid not honored (auto-selects) not honored (auto) static --
pi not honored (non-ACP; v0.73 incompatible) not honored static --
cline sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort; BYOK provider-dependent) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) session-config check session.configOptions after init
kilo sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) model-dependent (kind varies per upstream model) live-list use kilo models for the live list
qwen sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort; BYOK provider-dependent) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) session-config check session.configOptions after init
auggie sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort; subscription required) sent via ACP setSessionConfigOption (best-effort) live-list use auggie model list (login required)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

index is an agent published in the GitHub repository pivanov/agents-wire (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,204 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
