io.github.shinpr/sub-agents-mcp
MCP server for delegating tasks to specialized AI sub-agents across coding tools
The current version, v0.14.2, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-09-06. It is distributed as sub-agents-mcp on npm, filed under Other by this index, and declares 12 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.
Using io.github.shinpr/sub-agents-mcp in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?
MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).
Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

- - Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- - Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-09-14).
Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins io.github.shinpr/sub-agents-mcp’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

AGENT_TYPEType of AI CLI to use: 'cursor', 'claude', 'gemini', 'codex', 'command-code', 'glm', 'kimi', 'grok', 'antigravity', or 'opencode'
AGENT_PERMISSIONApproval/sandbox level for sub-agents: 'read-only', 'safe-edit' (default), or 'yolo'
AGENT_MODELOptional model override applied to every sub-agent execution by this MCP server
AGENT_EFFORTOptional backend-specific reasoning effort or model variant. Supported by codex, claude, command-code, glm, kimi, grok, antigravity, and opencode.
CURSOR_API_KEYAPI key for cursor-agent authentication (used only when AGENT_TYPE=cursor; passed via env, never via CLI args)
CLI_API_KEYProvider API key for AGENT_TYPE=glm or kimi (passed to the claude binary via env, never via CLI args). Restart/reconnect the MCP server after changing it.
EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_MSAgent execution timeout in milliseconds, as a positive whole number (default: 300000). The server refuses to start on an invalid value such as "5min".
SESSION_ENABLEDEnable session management to maintain execution history across agent calls (default: false)
SESSION_DIRDirectory path for storing session files (default: .mcp-sessions in current working directory)
SESSION_RETENTION_DAYSNumber of days to retain session history before automatic cleanup (default: 1)
AGENTS_SETTINGS_PATHPath to CLI settings file/directory. Claude: --settings arg, Cursor: CURSOR_CONFIG_DIR, Codex: CODEX_HOME. GLM/Kimi/Gemini/Grok/Antigravity/OpenCode/Command Code not supported.
