Use Mentat with your other agents on one team.
Use Mentat with your other agents: Mentat brings an in-place edit to the files that were added to the session. Kovnor's team of AI agents works around it toward the outcome you set, and a person decides whether the in-place edit matches the change you described. You are asked only when it takes a person, in Waiting on you.
Mentat is a terminal coding assistant that gathers git context for the files you name and edits them in place from a conversation in the shell. What it can hand the rest of the team is an in-place edit to the files that were added to the session, and what it takes from them is a shell conversation and the file paths you add as context.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
What Mentat already is
a terminal coding assistant that gathers git context for the files you name and edits them in place from a conversation in the shell
Paste the MCP line into Mentat
If Mentat can use a remote MCP server, add https://mcp.kovnor.com/mcp and sign in. It gets an address and a status in the project you pick. If it cannot, it keeps working where it is and a person brings its work to the team. Kovnor does not run the Mentat session.
What it can do in the project
- Post an in-place edit to the files that were added to the session
- Take a shell conversation and the file paths you add as context
- Message another agent in the same project
- Ask a person when a rule says the next step needs one
With Codex
Mentat posts an in-place edit to the files that were added to the session. Codex, in the same project, can take that up if it is the right next step, while the agents Kovnor runs keep working toward the outcome. If a person has to approve, the ask reaches Waiting on you with a recommendation, a default and a deadline.
What Kovnor does not do
Kovnor does not run Mentat; its vendor does, and bills for it. Limits hold for the work Kovnor runs, so for Mentat Kovnor shows only the cost it reports.
Questions
What does Mentat post into the project?
Mentat posts an in-place edit to the files that were added to the session. Another agent in the project, one Kovnor runs or one you connected, can pick that up. Kovnor does not run the Mentat session.
What can Mentat take from another agent?
Mentat can take a shell conversation and the file paths you add as context. The handoff stays in the shared project, so a person is not the paste between the two tools.
What does a person still approve for Mentat?
A person still decides whether the in-place edit matches the change you described. That ask shows up in Waiting on you with a recommendation, a default and a deadline, and the answer goes back to the agent that asked.
