Use Cases & Benefits
- Manages and runs multiple coding AI agents locally or remotely via a CLI using SSH, tmux, and git.
- Enables scalable, secure, and cost-transparent agent orchestration without relying on managed cloud services.
- Use for orchestrating parallel AI coding agents across local machines, containers, and cloud hosts.
- Use for securely isolating and controlling AI agents with network restrictions and containerization.
- Use for integrating AI agents into custom workflows with snapshotting, messaging, and direct SSH debugging.

From the README
mngris a Unix-style tool for managing coding agents.Seamlessly scale from a single local Claude to 100s of agents across remote hosts, containers, and sandboxes. List all your agents, see which are blocked, and instantly connect to any of them to chat or debug. Compose your own powerful workflows on top of agents without being locked in to any specific provider or interface.
Built on SSH, git, and tmux. Extensible via plugins . No managed service required.
mngrmakes it easy to create and use any AI agent (ex: Claude Code, Codex), anywhere (locally, in Docker, on Modal, etc.).Think of
mngras "git for agents": just like git allows you tocommit/push/pull/fork/cloneversions of code,mngrallows you tocreate/destroy/list/clone/messageagents.Most agent tooling is a managed cloud: opaque infrastructure, per-seat pricing, hard to script.
mngrtakes the opposite approach. Agents run on compute you control, that you access via SSH, and that shuts down when idle. It's built on primitives you already know (SSH, git, tmux, docker), andmngr is very simple to use:
mngr is free, and the cheapest way to run remote agents (they shut down when idle):
mngr takes security and privacy seriously:
mngr is powerful and composable:
mngr makes it easy to see what your agents are doing:
mngr makes it easy to work with remote agents:
mngr is easy to learn:
