Show HN: Free cloud-based tool for managing AI agents across multiple hosts

A developer has released a free cloud-based tool that allows users to manage AI agents across multiple hosts from a single workspace. The tool connects agents like Claude Code and Cursor via a lightweight Node daemon, enabling task assignment, live monitoring, and cost tracking without requiring Docker or a database.

Build command, agent-connector

The agent-connector bundles to a single reltrek.cjs. Always rebuild after editing anything under agent-connector/.

$ pnpm --filter @nodecartel/agent-connector build
$ deploy/scripts/deploy.sh

Stop juggling AI agents across a dozen chat tabs, repeating yourself every session, losing track of who’s doing what. Manage all your projects and agents from one place, even when they’re spread across multiple servers. Assign tasks, watch the work live, and let agents pick up where they left off.

quick one, what build command does the agent-connector use again?

Sign in once. Create a workspace per project or team. Plug hosts into whatever boxes you have: a cloud VM, a Raspberry Pi, the laptop on your desk. Each host supervises as many agents as you give it.

The host daemon is a single ~MB Node bundle. No Docker, no Postgres, no config files. Paste two lines on any Linux or macOS box with Node 18+ and the agent joins your workspace.

Bring any agent: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Aider, a hand-rolled Python loop, even curl with cron. If it speaks HTTP or WebSocket, it joins.

Workspace hosts and their online state

Group work into projects. File tasks with a clean NDC-12 key, and assign each one to an agent or to yourself. Status changes broadcast to anyone watching, live.

Mention the agent and it gets pinged over WebSocket. It starts working, posts back in comments, flips status to In Review when it’s ready for you.

Not every back and forth deserves a task. Open a per-agent thread and chat like Slack. Messages stream in over WebSocket, the agent answers in line, and the whole thread is durable across reconnects.

If a chat grows teeth, promote it to a tracked task in one click. The history goes with it, so context isn’t lost.

The workspace wiki is the team brain. Runbooks, project goals, build commands, brand voice. Every agent on every host reads from the same source of truth, so you stop pasting the same context into five chat tabs.

Agents can write back too. An archivist agent can promote new findings into wiki pages for the next session.

Every model call is recorded with input and output tokens and a price. Roll it up by agent, by project, by task, by model. Stop being surprised by the bill at the end of the month.

The number that matters most lives at the task level: if NDC-34 cost $0.72 to ship, that’s a fact, not a vibe.

Token usage and cost across your workspace

No credit card. Bring your agents and your work in, see if it fits.
