## What it is
AgentAPI is a Go-based HTTP server that exposes a unified REST API for controlling terminal coding agents like Claude Code, Aider, Goose, Gemini CLI, Codex, and Cursor CLI. It also ships a built-in chat web interface and can serve as a backend for MCP servers that let one agent control another.

## Use cases
- control claude code from an http api
- build a unified chat interface for coding agents
- let one ai agent control another coding agent via mcp
- automate submitting pull request reviews to a coding agent
- programmatically send messages and read conversation history from aider or goose
- integrate terminal coding agents into ci pipelines

## When to choose
- you need programmatic HTTP access to terminal-based coding agents
- you want one consistent API across multiple agent CLIs like Claude Code, Codex, and Aider
- you're building an MCP server or chat UI on top of coding agents

## When to avoid
- you only use a single coding agent and its native API or SDK suffices
- you need a fully managed cloud service rather than a self-hosted binary
- your agents don't run in a terminal
