by desplega-ai
Overview
Open-source, MCP-powered framework for orchestrating teams of autonomous AI coding agents with lead-worker delegation, Docker isolation, GitHub integrations, and PR-oriented delivery.
Details
Agent Swarm is an open-source, MCP-powered agent company OS built by desplega.sh for orchestrating teams of autonomous AI coding agents. Its documentation describes a hub-and-spoke MCP API server that coordinates Docker-isolated worker agents, uses SQLite state and vector memory, supports Claude Code or pi-mono harnesses, and includes integrations, scheduling, workflows, and heartbeat recovery. The project is positioned around lead-worker delegation and PR-oriented delivery with GitHub integration.
When to Use
Use Agent Swarm when you need to coordinate multiple autonomous coding agents around lead-worker delegation and pull-request-oriented delivery. Use it when Docker-isolated worker agents MCP-based orchestration state/memory scheduling workflows and GitHub-oriented delivery are important to your agent workflow.
