About mpai
mpai is an open-source terminal developer tool designed to bring real-time multiplayer collaboration to existing Codex and Claude Code AI sessions. Created by Reagan Stock, the tool enables software engineers to collaborate directly inside command-line AI workflows without losing session history or context.
Using mpai, team members can join an explicitly shared native session from another Mac and immediately access the full context of the active conversation. Prompts sent by collaborators arrive with their name attached to distinguish inputs. To ensure security and control, mpai relies on Tailscale to keep network traffic private, while the host Mac remains in full control of the session.
Pros of mpai
- Open-source terminal developer tool
- Brings multiplayer functionality to Codex and Claude Code sessions
- Preserves full context when joining a teammate's session
- Attaches participant names directly to prompts for clarity
- Uses Tailscale for private networking while keeping host Mac in control
Cons of mpai
- Requires Mac devices for both host and joining team members
- Limited to supported terminal environments (Codex and Claude Code)
