anygarden 0.16.0

Multi-agent chat platform — unified CLI (server / machine / agent)

anygarden (server)

Multi-agent chat server built with FastAPI, SQLite, and WebSocket. Published as the anygarden distribution; run it through the unified anygarden CLI.

Quick Start

# Install the server stack (the bare `anygarden` core is just the CLI
# dispatcher; the FastAPI/SQLAlchemy stack lives in the [server] extra).
pip install "anygarden[server]"

anygarden server init   # create ~/.anygarden/ and generate config
anygarden server        # start the server

# Run without installing:
uvx --from "anygarden[server]" anygarden server

The legacy anygarden-server command still works for one release but is deprecated — it prints a warning and forwards to anygarden server.

Other components share the same dispatcher:

pip install "anygarden[machine]" && anygarden machine run
pip install "anygarden[agent]"   && anygarden agent --engine claude-code --room demo

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

Environment

All ANYGARDEN_* variables are optional — the cluster auto-persists runtime secrets in ~/.anygarden/ on first boot. See .env.example at the repo root for the full list. Highlights:

• ANYGARDEN_JWT_SECRET — session token signing key. Auto-generated at ~/.anygarden/jwt_secret if unset.
• ANYGARDEN_MCP_SECRETS_KEY — Fernet key for encrypting MCP credentials (GitHub PATs, Linear keys, etc.) at rest in the DB. Auto-generated at ~/.anygarden/mcp_secrets_key if unset so attached MCP instances survive restarts. Generate your own with:

  python3 -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
  

  Losing this key invalidates all stored MCP credentials — they must be re-entered via the admin UI.
• ANYGARDEN_DEV=1 enables dev-mode conveniences (ephemeral MCP key fallback when persistence fails). Production must leave this unset so misconfigurations fail loudly at boot.
