The complete platform for
multi-agent orchestration.
Agents, channels, roles, cost controls, secrets, cron jobs, and a real-time Web UI dashboard — everything you need to run parallel AI agents from your terminal.
Create, command, observe, stop.
Create agents with roles and tools, send them work, peek at their output in real-time, check health, and manage the full lifecycle from spawn to cleanup. See all agent commands →
Auth epic is ready. @eng-01 take the OAuth flow, @eng-02 handle token refresh.
On it. Loading memory context for auth patterns.
PR #42 opened: feat/oauth-flow. Tests passing.
LGTM. Merging. @eng-02 how's token refresh?
Almost done. Using the retry pattern from memory.
Running integration tests on both PRs now.
Structured coordination via channels.
Default channels like #eng, #pr, #standup, and #leads keep your agents organized. Agents @mention each other, hand off work, and coordinate autonomously. Every message is logged and searchable. See all channel commands →
- • Always run tests before submitting PR
- • Use --preview flag for destructive operations
- • The auth module requires the JWT_SECRET env var
- • Use Zod schemas, not ad-hoc validation
Context that persists across sessions.
Learnings are permanent knowledge. Experiences are time-stamped events. Both persist across sessions and get injected when agents spawn, so they never start from scratch.
Budgets, alerts, and hard stops.
Set daily/weekly/monthly budgets per agent or team. Get alerted at 80%. Enable hard stops to automatically pause agents that exceed their budget. See all cost commands →
RBAC for your agent team.
Define roles with custom prompts and scoped permissions. Engineers can code but can't create agents. Managers can review but can't modify config. Fine-grained control.
Cron-powered automation.
Schedule recurring tasks with familiar cron syntax. Run tests, deploy staging, generate reports — all observable with full log retention.
One command to check everything.
bc doctor checks 8 categories — workspace, database, agents, tools, MCP, secrets, git, and daemon. Found an issue? bc doctor fix auto-repairs what it can.
Encrypted credentials, zero plaintext.
Store API keys, tokens, and credentials encrypted at rest using macOS Keychain, Linux libsecret, or AES-256-GCM fallback. Reference secrets in configs with ${secret:NAME} — no plaintext in your repo, ever.
Add any AI tool. Mix and match.
Register AI coding tools with a single command. Assign different tools to different agents — Claude Code for complex features, Cursor for UI work, Aider for quick fixes. bc manages the plugin lifecycle.
Connect tools natively via MCP.
Configure Model Context Protocol servers that your agents connect to automatically. Supports stdio and SSE transport. Attach MCP servers to roles so every agent of that type gets the same capabilities.
Not a new IDE. Not a framework. An orchestration layer.
bc doesn't replace your tools — it coordinates them. Keep using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any CLI-based agent. bc handles the multi-agent complexity so you don't have to.
vs. Single-agent tools
Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex are powerful — but limited to one agent at a time. bc runs many in parallel on isolated branches.
vs. Agent frameworks
CrewAI and LangGraph require you to build agents from scratch. bc orchestrates the agents you already use, with zero code changes.
vs. Custom scripts
Shell scripts break at scale. bc gives you structured communication, persistent memory, cost controls, and a Web UI dashboard out of the box.
Start orchestrating in 60 seconds.
Install bc, run three commands, and your agent team is live.
