Why AgentiBridge?

Your Claude Code sessions disappear when the terminal closes. AgentiBridge indexes every transcript automatically and makes them searchable, resumable, and dispatchable — from any MCP client.

• 🔒 Security-first — OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, API key auth, Cloudflare Tunnel with zero inbound ports. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.
• 🔍 AI-powered search — Semantic search with pgvector embeddings. Ask natural language questions across all your past sessions.
• ⚙️ Automatic indexing & embedding — Background collector watches ~/.claude/projects/, incrementally indexes new transcripts, and auto-embeds them for semantic search. No manual exports or embedding steps.
• 🌐 Multi-client — Works with Claude Code CLI, claude.ai, ChatGPT, Grok, and any MCP-compatible client.
• 🏠 Fully self-hosted — Postgres, Redis, and your data stay on your machine. No SaaS, no vendor lock-in.
• 🚀 Background dispatch — Fire-and-forget task dispatch with session restore. Resume work where you left off.
• ⚡ Zero config to start — Filesystem fallback means no Redis or Postgres required for basic use. Scale up when you need to.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI (claude binary) — AgentiBridge indexes Claude Code transcripts, so the CLI must be installed. The tunnel wizard and dispatch features also invoke it directly.
• cloudflared — required for agentibridge tunnel setup (the tunnel wizard). Not needed if you don't use Cloudflare Tunnel.
• Docker — required for agentibridge run (Docker mode). Not needed for native/stdio mode.
• Python 3.12+

Quick Start

pip install agentibridge
agentibridge run
curl http://localhost:8100/health

Then add AgentiBridge to ~/.mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentibridge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8100/mcp"
    }
  }
}

---

Run Modes

Each mode has its own config file, auto-created from a bundled template. Both can run simultaneously.

Mode	Command	Config	Storage
Docker	agentibridge run	~/.agentibridge/docker.env	Redis + Postgres (bundled), TRANSPORT=sse
Native	python -m agentibridge	~/.agentibridge/.env	Filesystem only (default), TRANSPORT=stdio

Docker starts 3 containers (AgentiBridge + Redis + Postgres) with sessions indexed in Redis. Native reads raw JSONL files from ~/.claude/projects/ on each call — no external services needed. To add Redis/Postgres in native mode, run them yourself and set REDIS_URL / POSTGRES_URL in ~/.agentibridge/.env.

See Configuration Reference for all variables.

MCP Tools

Tool	Example use
list_sessions	"Show me my recent sessions"
get_session	"Get the full transcript for session abc123"
get_session_segment	"Show me the last 20 messages from that session"
get_session_actions	"What tools did I use most in that session?"
search_sessions	"Find sessions where I worked on authentication"
collect_now	"Refresh the index now"
search_semantic	"What were my sessions about database migrations?"
generate_summary	"Summarize what happened in session abc123"
restore_session	"Load the context from my last session on this project"
dispatch_task	"Continue that refactor task in the background"
get_dispatch_job	"What's the status of job xyz?"
list_dispatch_jobs	"What jobs have I dispatched recently?"
list_memory_files	"What memory files exist across my projects?"
get_memory_file	"Show me the MEMORY.md for the antoncore project"
list_plans	"What plans have I created recently?"
get_plan	"Show me the plan called moonlit-rolling-reddy"
search_history	"Find prompts where I mentioned docker"

Note: search_semantic and generate_summary require AGENTIBRIDGE_EMBEDDING_ENABLED=true + LLM config. Sessions are embedded automatically by the collector — see Semantic Search. Use agentibridge embeddings to check pipeline status. dispatch_task and restore_session require the dispatch bridge — see Session Dispatch. Knowledge catalog tools (list_memory_files, get_memory_file, list_plans, get_plan, search_history) expose Claude Code's memory files, plans, and prompt history.

Configuration

Config files are auto-created from bundled templates:

• Docker: ~/.agentibridge/docker.env (created on first agentibridge run)
• Native: ~/.agentibridge/.env (created on first import agentibridge)

Run agentibridge config to view current values. See Configuration Reference for all environment variables.

---

MCP Configuration

AgentiBridge supports two connection modes: local (stdio, zero-config) and remote (HTTP with API key auth). Use one or both depending on your setup.

Option A — Local (stdio)

Runs AgentiBridge as a subprocess alongside Claude Code. No server to manage, no auth needed. Best for single-machine use.

pip install agentibridge

Configuration is auto-loaded from ~/.agentibridge/.env (created on first run). Edit it to customize settings.

Add to your project .mcp.json or ~/.mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentibridge": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "agentibridge"]
    }
  }
}

Option B — Remote (HTTP + API key)

Runs AgentiBridge as a persistent server — access your sessions from any device or MCP client over the network. Requires AGENTIBRIDGE_API_KEYS set on the server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentibridge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bridge.yourdomain.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "sk-ab-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run agentibridge connect to get ready-to-paste configs for other clients (ChatGPT, Claude Web, Grok, generic MCP).

Connect to Claude.ai

Claude.ai requires OAuth 2.1 to connect to remote MCP servers. AgentiBridge has a built-in OAuth 2.1 authorization server with PKCE — just enable it with one env var.

1. Set up your tunnel first (if you haven't already):

agentibridge tunnel setup    # interactive wizard — installs cloudflared, creates DNS record
agentibridge run             # start the Docker stack
agentibridge tunnel          # verify your hostname and connection

2. Enable OAuth on your server:

Uncomment and set the OAuth variables in ~/.agentibridge/docker.env:

# Required — must be your actual tunnel hostname
OAUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://bridge.yourdomain.com

# Lock to a single client (recommended)
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=my-bridge-client
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=generate-a-strong-secret-here
OAUTH_ALLOWED_REDIRECT_URIS=https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback
OAUTH_ALLOWED_SCOPES=claudeai

3. Restart the stack to apply changes:

Important: agentibridge restart does not reload docker.env — it only restarts existing containers with the old config. You must stop and start the stack to pick up env var changes.

agentibridge stop
agentibridge run

4. Verify OAuth is working:

curl -s https://bridge.yourdomain.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server | head

The response must show your actual hostname (not a placeholder). If it still shows the old value, you need to stop + run again.

curl https://bridge.yourdomain.com/health

5. Add to claude.ai:

Go to claude.ai/settings/connectors, add your server URL:

https://bridge.yourdomain.com/mcp

Claude.ai will automatically:

1. Discover OAuth metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
2. Register as a client (or use your pre-configured credentials)
3. Complete the PKCE authorization flow
4. Store the access token and refresh it automatically

No manual JSON config needed — claude.ai handles the entire OAuth flow.

API key auth (X-API-Key header) continues to work alongside OAuth. Both auth methods are active simultaneously.

See Remote Access & Auth for the full reference.

Cloudflare Tunnel

Quick tunnel (no account needed)

Gets you a temporary *.trycloudflare.com URL — useful for testing, changes on restart.

docker compose --profile tunnel up -d
agentibridge tunnel    # prints the current public URL

Named tunnel (your own domain)

Gets you a persistent https://mcp.yourdomain.com that survives restarts.

Requires: A Cloudflare account with a domain added.

agentibridge tunnel setup    # interactive wizard
agentibridge run
curl https://mcp.yourdomain.com/health

The wizard installs cloudflared, authenticates, creates the DNS record, and writes the config. The bridge itself has no domain config — it just listens on localhost:8100 and the tunnel routes your domain to it.

The wizard writes CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN into ~/.agentibridge/docker.env automatically. This token authenticates the cloudflared container to your Cloudflare tunnel — it's static, so it works permanently across restarts, reboots, and redeployments. It only changes if you delete and recreate the tunnel in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard.

Tunnel warning on agentibridge run

You may see this when starting the stack:

WARN[0000] The "CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

This is harmless. Docker Compose parses the entire compose file — including the optional tunnel profile — and warns about any unset ${VARIABLES} it finds, even if that profile isn't started. The tunnel wizard (agentibridge tunnel setup) installs cloudflared as a systemd service on the host, which reads its config from ~/.cloudflared/config.yml and doesn't use this variable at all. The CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN variable is only used if you run the tunnel as a Docker container via docker compose --profile tunnel up -d (the quick-tunnel approach). To silence the warning, add CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_TOKEN= (empty) to your ~/.agentibridge/docker.env.

See Cloudflare Tunnel Guide for full details.

Developer Setup

git clone https://github.com/The-Cloud-Clock-Work/agentibridge
pip install -e .
agentibridge run --test

--test builds from local source instead of pulling the Hub image. Use this whenever you need to test local changes end-to-end. It uses the repo root .env, not ~/.agentibridge/docker.env.

Mode	Compose file	Env file	Image
agentibridge run	~/.agentibridge/docker-compose.yml	~/.agentibridge/docker.env	Pulls from Docker Hub
agentibridge run --test	./docker-compose.yml (repo root)	./.env (repo root)	Builds from local Dockerfile

Important: Each mode reads a different env file. If you configure embedding or auth vars in docker.env, those won't be seen by --test unless you also set them in the repo root .env (and vice versa).

For manual control without the CLI wrapper:

cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build -d

See CONTRIBUTING.md for testing, linting, and CI details.

FAQ

Isn't this just session history?

History is the data layer. The product is remote fleet control — dispatch tasks from your phone, search sessions from any MCP client, monitor jobs from claude.ai. You go from 0% productivity away from your desk to controlling your agents from anywhere.

VS Code / Cursor already has conversation history.

IDE history is local to that IDE. AgentiBridge adds remote multi-client access, background dispatch from any device, and semantic search across your full session history. Leave your desk and dispatch a background task from your phone — your IDE can't do that.

Won't Anthropic build this natively?

AgentiBridge is self-hosted, vendor-neutral infrastructure. Native features optimize for one vendor's client. AgentiBridge works with Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, Grok, and any MCP client. Your data stays on your machine, and you control the storage backend, embedding model, and access policies. MIT licensed — no lock-in.

Do I need Redis and Postgres?

Not for basic use. agentibridge run bundles Redis and Postgres automatically via Docker — no setup needed. If you run natively (python -m agentibridge), it works without either — sessions are read directly from ~/.claude/projects/ JSONL files on each call. This is slower but has zero dependencies. To add Redis or Postgres in native mode, run them yourself and set REDIS_URL / POSTGRES_URL in ~/.agentibridge/.env.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. No telemetry, no SaaS dependencies. Cloudflare Tunnel is opt-in, and even then only MCP tool responses traverse the tunnel — your transcripts stay local.

Which clients are supported?

Claude Code CLI, claude.ai, ChatGPT, Grok, and any MCP-compatible client. Run agentibridge connect for ready-to-paste configs.
