agora

A shared, persistent space for your Claude Code sessions — per repository.

See what other sessions are doing, get warned before you overwrite their work, and leave notes. No daemon, no server to run.

</div>

Why

When several Claude Code sessions work on the same repository — in parallel, or just over the course of a day — they're blind to each other. None of them knows what the others touched, they overwrite the same files silently, and the context is lost when you close them.

agora gives every session a shared place to leave a trail and look at each other's work.

How it works

The whole system is one SQLite file per repo: <repo-root>/.agora/space.db (in WAL mode, so multiple processes read and write it at once without corruption).

• No one runs a server. There's no daemon, no web app. The "space" is the file.
• Every session of the repo writes what it does and reads what the others did.
• Because it's a file, it persists by itself — close everything, come back tomorrow, the state is still there.
• It's a shared board, not a live chat: sessions find out when they start, when they're about to edit (collision), or when they ask (the tools).

Multi-worktree friendly: the .db lives at the main repo root, so every session of the repo — including those in different worktrees — shares one agora.

Features

• 🟢 See who's here and what files each session is touching, live.
• ⚠️ Collision warnings — before you edit a file (or work a branch) another active session already holds.
• 📋 Project resume — open a session and get a summary of what the others did.
• 📓 Activity log — a per-repo timeline of everything that happened.
• ✉️ Notes between sessions (directed or broadcast).
• 🛡️ Best-effort hooks — they exit 0 no matter what; they never block your session.

Requirements

• Bun 1.3+
• git 2.x
• Claude Code (or any MCP client)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/vorluno/agora-mcp.git
cd agora-mcp
bun install

# Install the 5 hooks (idempotent). Add --project to scope to the current repo only.
bun run src/cli.ts init

# Register the MCP server
claude mcp add agora -- bun run /absolute/path/to/agora-mcp/src/index.ts

Configuration

Any MCP client works. The mcpServers entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agora": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/absolute/path/to/agora-mcp/src/index.ts"]
    }
  }
}

For Claude Code, claude mcp add (above) writes this for you. For Warp or Cursor, paste the snippet into their MCP settings.

Tools

How collisions are detected

• File collision: 2+ distinct sessions with an active writing claim on the same file.
• Branch collision: 2+ active sessions on the same branch but in different worktrees.

Only live sessions are counted, so a session that died without a clean exit won't produce false positives.

Automatic capture (hooks)

init installs 5 best-effort hooks (they always exit 0):

Development

bun test          # full suite (incl. a real WAL concurrency test)
bunx tsc --noEmit # type-check

Built test-first across 14 TDD tasks with per-task and whole-branch review.
