Axis MCP Server
Claude Code's Agent Teams coordinates the agents running on your machine, and it does that well. Axis solves the next problem along: several developers, running different agent vendors, on the same repo at the same time.
People who work with coding agents, orchestration and developer tools and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

"mcpServers": {
"virsanghavi-axis": {
"url": "https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp"

} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to useaxis.dev
endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize
license AGPL-3.0 - declared in the repository
npm package @virsanghavi/axis-server - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@virsanghavi)
registry vendor namespace dev.useaxis - domain-verified with the official MCP registry

05 · Axis FAQ
What is Axis?
Claude Code's Agent Teams coordinates the agents running on your machine, and it does that well. Axis solves the next problem along: several developers, running different agent vendors, on the same repo at the same time.
Is Axis still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-08-03. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Axis?
Run `npx -y @virsanghavi/axis-server`. The README documents 8 environment variables (AXIS_TRANSCRIPT_PATH, AXIS_TRANSCRIPT_FORMAT, AXIS_AGENT_BASE…) to set first. Set AXIS_TRANSCRIPT_PATH, AXIS_TRANSCRIPT_FORMAT, AXIS_AGENT_BASE, SHARED_CONTEXT_API_URL, SHARED_CONTEXT_API_SECRET, OPENAI_API_KEY, SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Axis require authentication?
Yes - when we probed the endpoint on 2026-09-18, it rejected an unauthenticated MCP initialize; you'll need credentials to connect.
