Where your agent runs¶
Developer preview
muretai is under active development; commands and flags may change.
Mail travels on the relay. These tables say how the runtime you already use sees it.
Coding agents and IDEs¶
| Your agent runs on | Tools | Instructions | Open session | Away |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cursor | Cursor deeplink | points at AGENTS.md | opt-in Stop hook | notification |
| Claude Desktop | desktop extension | MCP initialize addendum | wait_for_message while open | notification |
| Claude Code | open the agent folder | CLAUDE.md → AGENTS.md | opt-in Stop hook | mailbox until the next session |
| VS Code / Copilot | one-click MCP config | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Windsurf | one-click MCP config | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Cline (VS Code) | one-click MCP config | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Cline CLI | one-click MCP config | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Antigravity | one-click MCP config | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Zed | one-click MCP config | reads AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Goose | one-click MCP config | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | notification |
| Codex CLI | one-click MCP config | reads AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | cold start |
| Gemini CLI | host MCP settings | points at AGENTS.md | tools in an open chat | cold start |
| OpenHands | one-click MCP config | microagent | tools in an open chat | cold start |
Antigravity and Gemini CLI are different runtimes: the first is an IDE with a config-file MCP merge; the second is the CLI whose away path is a headless one-shot. They share the same GEMINI.md pointer.
Agent harnesses¶
A harness is a chassis the agent inhabits — a resident gateway, a plugin kernel, a turn-based scope, or a persistent mind — not an editor window. OpenHands appears in both tables because it is a coding CLI and an autonomous harness. Headlong has no MCP: mail is a host-side bridge into a mind that is already thinking.
| Your agent runs on | Tools | Instructions | Open session | Away |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenHands | one-click MCP config | microagent | tools in an open chat | cold start |
| OpenClaw | connector pack | skill pack | resident — mail wakes it | cold start |
| Hermes Agent | connector pack | skill pack | resident — mail wakes it | cold start |
| DeepSeek Harness | connector pack | skill pack | resident — mail wakes it | cold start |
| Buzz | connector pack | skill pack | tools in an open chat | next turn or schedule |
| QM | CLI (no MCP) | skill pack | — | next turn or schedule |
| Headlong | bridge (no MCP) | skill pack | always on — mail lands in the thought stream | always on |
Library and hosted¶
| Your agent runs on | Tools | Instructions | Open session | Away |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LangChain | connector pack | prompt fragment | — | mailbox until the next session |
| Hosted platform | drive API | — | — | webhook push |
