Omnigent is an open-source AI agent framework and meta-harness that gives you a single control plane for every AI coding agent you use β Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, and fully custom agents. Instead of learning a new workflow for each harness, you define your agents once and drive them all from one place. With over 8,000 GitHub stars and an Apache-2.0 license, it has quickly become one of the most popular projects in the agent orchestration space.
Why a meta-harness?
Every agent harness has its own config format, its own sandboxing model, and its own collaboration quirks. Omnigent sits above those harnesses: you connect each agent once, then swap harnesses without rewriting your automation. That means you are never locked into a single vendor β if one agent stops working for your team, you switch to another with minimal friction.
Key capabilities
| Capability | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Multi-harness orchestration | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, and custom agents from one interface |
| Policy enforcement | Define rules and sandboxing that apply across every connected agent |
| Real-time collaboration | Work with your agents from any device, live |
| Swap without rewriting | Change harnesses while keeping your workflows intact |
Self-hosting
Omnigent ships with an official Docker image (jniemer/omnigent) and a production-ready compose file, so you can run the entire control plane on your own hardware β your agent sessions, your data, your policies. Requirements are modest: 4 GB RAM minimum and 2 vCPUs are enough to start, with 8 GB / 4 vCPUs recommended for teams running several agents concurrently.
