A standalone MCP server that lets AI agents (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Kimi CLI) communicate with each other through tmux panes. It talks directly to tmux -- no external dependencies beyond tmux itself.

## 🖥️ What is tmux?

[tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux) is a **terminal multiplexer** -- it lets you split one terminal window into multiple **panes**, each running its own process independently. Think of it as "tabs on steroids" for your terminal.
