# Supported agents

microManager runs Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode and Gemini CLI out of the box, and any other agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol. It starts the CLIs you already installed and signed in to, each in its own git worktree.

## How does microManager talk to each agent?

| Agent                                                         | Made by                 | Command               | Connection                                                                      |

| [Any ACP agent](https://micromanager.win/features/acp-agents) | Anyone                  | The command you enter | Agent Client Protocol over stdio                                                |

## What is the same for every agent?

- Its own [git worktree](https://micromanager.win/features/git-worktrees) and branch per workspace, with ignored files copied in and ten ports reserved.
- [Diff review](https://micromanager.win/features/diff-review) with comments you send back to the agent.
- [Checkpoints](https://micromanager.win/features/checkpoints) before every message.
- [Pull requests](https://micromanager.win/features/pull-requests) through the GitHub CLI.
- microManager’s [MCP tools](https://micromanager.win/docs/mcp-tools): ask you a question, read the diff, leave review comments, read terminal output.
- The same environment variables, including the `CONDUCTOR_*` names.

## Questions about agents

### Which coding agents does microManager support?

Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode and Gemini CLI are built in, and any other agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) can be added in Settings → Agents.

### Can different agents work in the same repository at once?

Yes. Each workspace is its own git worktree, so a Claude Code workspace and a Codex workspace can change the same repository at the same time without touching each other’s files. A single workspace can also have tabs for different agents.

### Does microManager install the agents for me?

No. It runs the agent CLIs you already installed and signed in to, and shows in Settings → Agents which ones it found and their versions.
