swarmclaw MCP server

Open-source self-hosted AI agent runtime and multi-agent framework for autonomous agent swarms. Agent memory, MCP tools, schedules, delegation, and 23+ LLM providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama). A practical Claude Code and LangChain alternative.

What swarmclaw does

Summarised from the project README; check the repository for the latest details.

Features

• Orphan recovery dedup. Startup queue recovery now recovers each orphaned task once instead of re-logging it every tick, and dead-letters tasks that repeatedly return to the queue without starting.
• Schedule delivery status. Every scheduled run now writes `lastDeliveryStatus`/`lastDeliveryError` back to its schedule, so failures are visible without digging through task records.
• Credential preflight for schedules. Scheduled runs on API-key providers fail fast with an actionable error when no credential resolves, instead of dying on a 401 deep in execution.
• Empty-run classification. Runs that produce no text, no tool calls, and no error now fail with a clear provider-configuration message instead of a generic validation failure.
• Regression coverage. Added tests for workspace path normalization, orphan recovery, schedule outcome writes, credential preflight, empty-run classification, and outbox-backed follow-ups.

Requirements

• Node.js 22.6+ (`nvm use` will pick up the repo's `.nvmrc`, which matches CI)
• npm 10+ or another supported package manager
• Docker Desktop is recommended for sandbox browser execution
• Optional provider CLIs if you want delegated CLI backends such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Copilot, Factory Droid, Cursor Agent, Qwen Code, or Goose
