Keep Augment Code.
Give it your machines.

AI Commander is not an alternative to Augment Code, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Sourcegraph Cody, Grok, Gemini, Windsurf, Continue, Cline, Roo Code, Zed, OpenCode, Qwen Code, goose, Amp, Kilo Code, OpenHands, Amazon Q Developer, or Devin. It is the remote-machine harness those tools plug into over MCP: outbound-only shell, detached jobs that outlive the chat, and file transfer on hardware you already own.

Connect Augment Code (MCP HTTP)

Augment Code (Auggie MCP docs · IDE MCP setup) supports remote MCP servers over HTTP in the Auggie CLI and in the IDE Settings Panel. Point it at AI Commander’s hosted MCP endpoint:

That writes ~/.augment/settings.json (or use --project / --local for repo-scoped settings). Equivalent JSON under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aicommander": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://aicommander.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

IDE: Augment Settings Panel → MCP → Add remote MCP (or Import from JSON) with the same type + url. Prefer a local stdio bridge?

Or wire npx -y @aicommander/mcp under mcpServers.aicommander with command/args (and optional env AICOMMANDER_SERVER=https://aicommander.dev) — same pattern as other stdio MCP clients.

Augment MCP docs: Integrations and MCP · Setup MCP servers.

First connect may open a one-time browser sign-in (OAuth Dynamic Client Registration). For a code-only first hour without that flow, append ?anonymous=1 to the MCP URL. For optional account features (saved aliases), pass a Bearer API key header where your Augment build supports it.

What you get that the chat alone cannot

• Remote shell on Linux, macOS, and Windows — by session code or saved alias.
• Detached jobs for builds, training, and headless agents on the box that has the repo.
• Fleet list + GPU facts so Augment picks the right machine before it burns an hour.
• File courier (Pro) for checkpoints and diffs up to 100 MiB.

Not a replacement — a multiplier
