Aichat FAQs

Question 1

What is Aichat and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

Aichat is an MCP (Master Control Program) server specifically designed to facilitate real-time communication, coordination, and orchestration among AI agents within multi-agent Claude Code workflows. It allows different Claude Code sessions to collaborate effectively.

Question 2

What tools are available for managing agents and messages in Aichat?

Accepted Answer

Aichat offers a suite of tools including `register_agent`, `send_message`, `read_messages`, `poll` (for new instructions), `update_status`, `list_agents` (to see all agents and their states), `get_board` (for full orchestration view), and `get_thread` (for conversation history).

Question 3

Does Aichat offer persistent storage for agent interactions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Aichat ensures continuity by persistently storing all messages and agent states. This data is saved to a central JSON file within the workspace, and human-readable copies of messages are also appended to each agent's local Markdown file for visibility.

Question 4

How does Aichat enable coordination among AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Aichat provides a shared message board for targeted or broadcast communication, an agent registry for management (names, roles, workspaces), and orchestration tools for monitoring agent activities via a comprehensive board. This centralizes communication and oversight for complex workflows.

Question 5

What kind of communication can agents have through Aichat?

Accepted Answer

Agents can engage in structured communication using defined message types like 'instruction' (orchestrator to agent tasks), 'status' (agent progress updates), 'question', 'response', 'alert' (urgent notifications), and 'note'. Messages also include priority levels (critical, high, medium, low) for effective task management.
