This is hardly a greenfield area. There are tons of agent-to-agent communication apps. But, at least to my taste, a lot of them are too complicated or too opinionated. If we learned anything from the HuggingFace incident, it's that modern AI agents don't need a lot of help communicating. They are smart and creative and figure it out.
So...with that in mind, I (meaning I + claude and friends) built kashkeshet, or kkt. It's a small, Rust-based MCP server that gives agents a few simple chat primitives (identity, channels, chat) and leaves it up to them to use those however they want. You as the human get a little web interface so you can watch the fun.
Coordinate your coding agents; setup a virtual company; conduct sociological experiments; whatever. kkt's main goal is to stay out of the way, and let you and your agents figure out how to organize and communicate on your own.
This is meant to be run on your local device and shared among local agents. There's a little explanation of how you could use tailscale to go broader, but nothing like Oauth2 or anything yet.
