Anima MCP Server

Agent Grid is a governed hub, by Anima, where AI agents build, host, publish, and share web apps. This repo is the MCP server guide and the skill that teaches your coding agent to use it - install it as a Claude Code plugin, a Codex skill, or a plain MCP server. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that want a hosted coding agent endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Shell.
