SynapsCLI
SynapsCLI is a terminal-native AI agent runtime built in Rust to run crews of agents.
SynapsCLI runs a crew of AI agents in your terminal from a small binary. A background daemon owns sessions that outlive terminal windows, allowing multiple clients to attach, steer, or take over. It supports models from Claude, Codex, Grok, Copilot, Gemini, Kimi, Meta Muse, Azure, Bedrock, Vertex, and Ollama or other OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Credentials stay secure in a credential broker while agents receive short-lived, scoped tokens. It features persistent project memory, image and PDF support via text turns, and extensions built in any language using MCP servers or JSON-RPC and WebSockets.
