How do I install Roundtable?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Roundtable need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does Roundtable use?

Roundtable runs locally over stdio.

Roundtable AI MCP Server

Install Roundtable AI MCP Server in Cursor

Stop copy-pasting between AI models. Roundtable AI is a local MCP server that lets your primary AI assistant delegate tasks to specialized models like Gemini, Claude, Codex, and Cursor. Solve complex engineering problems in parallel, directly from your IDE.

Key Features:

Context Continuity: Shared project context across all sub-agents
Parallel Execution: All agents work simultaneously
Model Specialization: Right AI for each task (Gemini's 1M context, Claude's reasoning, Codex's implementation)
Zero Markup: Uses your existing CLI tools and API subscriptions
26+ IDE Support: Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, and more

Quick Start

# Install Roundtable AI
pip install roundtable-ai

# Check available AI tools
roundtable-ai --check

# Start with all available tools
roundtable-ai

# Use specific assistants only
roundtable-ai --agents codex,claude

One-liner for Claude Code:

claude mcp add roundtable-ai -- roundtable-ai --agents gemini,claude,codex,cursor

Try this multi-agent prompt in your IDE:

The user dashboard is randomly slow for enterprise customers.

Use Gemini SubAgent to analyze frontend performance issues in the React components, especially expensive re-renders and inefficient data fetching.

Use Codex SubAgent to examine the backend API endpoint for N+1 queries and database bottlenecks.

Use Claude SubAgent to review the infrastructure logs and identify memory/CPU pressure during peak hours.

What is Roundtable AI

Roundtable AI is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that coordinates specialized AI sub-agents to solve complex engineering problems. Instead of manually switching between different AI tools, you delegate tasks from a single prompt in your IDE, and Roundtable manages the coordination, context sharing, and response synthesis.

Key Benefits

Context Continuity: The primary agent provides shared, rich context to all sub-agents
Parallel Execution: All agents work simultaneously, drastically reducing wait time
Model Specialization: Use the right AI for each task - Gemini's 1M context for analysis, Claude's reasoning for logic, Codex for implementation
No Extra Cost: Uses your existing CLI tools and API subscriptions with zero markup
Single Interface: One prompt, multiple specialized responses, automatically synthesized

Technical Architecture

    +----------------------------------+

How It Works

Context Continuity: The initial prompt and relevant file/project context are packaged by the primary agent. The MCP server passes this "context bundle" to each sub-agent, ensuring all participants have the same ground truth without manual copy-pasting.
Model Specialization: Use the right model for the job. Leverage Gemini's 1M context for codebase analysis, Claude's reasoning for logic and implementation, and Codex's proficiency for code generation and reviews, all in one workflow.
No Extra Cost: Roundtable invokes the CLI tools you already have installed and configured. It uses your existing API keys and subscriptions. We add no markup. The cost is exactly what you would pay running the tools manually.

Why Multi-Agent vs Single AI

Because manual context-switching is slow, error-prone, and prevents deep analysis.

The Multi-Tab Workflow ❌

Manually copy-paste code and context between different AI chats
Each agent starts fresh, unaware of other conversations or files
You wait for one agent to finish before starting the next
You are responsible for merging disparate, often conflicting, advice
High risk of pasting outdated code or incorrect context

The Roundtable Workflow ✅

Delegate tasks from a single prompt in your IDE
The primary agent provides shared, rich context to all sub-agents
All agents work in parallel, drastically reducing wait time
The final output automatically synthesizes the best insights from each model
The entire workflow is a single, deterministic, and repeatable command

Real-World Examples

Each example includes real code, logs, and explicit delegation to specialized sub-agents. Copy the whole block and paste it into your IDE assistant.

Multi-Stack Debugging — Virtual War Room for Production Issues

I'm debugging a critical production issue. The user sees a "Failed to load data" message.

Here is the browser console output:
```json
{
  "timestamp": "2024-09-24T10:05:21.123Z",
  "level": "error",
  "message": "API request failed for /api/v1/user/profile",
  "error": {
    "status": 500,
    "statusText": "Internal Server Error"
  }
}

Here is the backend server log:

ERROR: Exception in ASGI application
File "/app/services/user_service.py", line 42, in get_user_profile
  user_data = await db.fetch_one(query)
ValueError: Database connection is not available

Use Gemini SubAgent to analyze the logs from both stacks, correlate the events, and form a hypothesis about the root cause. Use Codex SubAgent to analyze the Python backend traceback and suggest a specific code fix for the database connection error. Use Claude SubAgent to review the frontend error handling and recommend more resilient patterns. Use Cursor SubAgent to search the codebase for other files that might have similar database connection issues.

At the end, aggregate all findings into a single incident report with root cause analysis and prioritized fixes.


2) Performance Optimization — API Latency & Database Query Tuning

```markdown
Our checkout API p95 latency increased from 220ms to 780ms. Need optimization strategy.

PostgreSQL slow query log:
```sql
-- Duration: 2455.112 ms
SELECT c.name, COUNT(o.id) AS total_orders, SUM(p.amount) AS revenue
FROM companies c, orders o, payments p
WHERE c.id = o.company_id
  AND o.id = p.order_id
  AND c.region = 'North America'
GROUP BY c.name
ORDER BY revenue DESC;

EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows:

Seq Scan on orders (cost=0.00..52000.00 rows=100000)
  Filter: (status = 'completed')
  Rows Removed by Filter: 134,201

Node.js hotspot from profiling:

// 40% CPU time
orders.map(o => ({ ...o, json: JSON.stringify(o) }));

// N+1 query problem
for (const id of orderIds) {
  await fetchInventory(id);
}

Use Claude SubAgent to analyze the EXPLAIN plan and identify why the query is slow. Use Codex SubAgent to rewrite the SQL with proper JOINs and suggest indexes. Use Gemini SubAgent to fix the N+1 query problem with batch fetching. Use Cursor SubAgent to find all instances of JSON.stringify in hot code paths.

Aggregate findings into a performance optimization plan with measurable improvements.

🔧 Configuration Tips

Environment Variables Reference

# Specify which AI assistants to enable
CLI_MCP_SUBAGENTS="codex,claude,cursor,gemini"

# Enable debug logging
CLI_MCP_DEBUG=true

# Override availability checking
CLI_MCP_IGNORE_AVAILABILITY=true

Command Alternatives

All IDEs support these equivalent commands:

roundtable-ai (primary command)
roundtable-mcp-server (descriptive alias)
python -m roundtable_mcp_server (Python module)
npx @roundtable/mcp-server (NPM package - coming soon)

Verification

After installation, verify the integration works:

# Check server availability
roundtable-ai --check

# Test connection (varies by IDE)
# Most IDEs will show "Roundtable AI" in their AI assistant panel

Troubleshooting

Server not found: Ensure roundtable-ai is in your PATH
Permission denied: Run chmod +x $(which roundtable-ai)
Config not loaded: Check file paths and JSON syntax
No AI tools detected: Run roundtable-ai --check first
