MCP server AgentLink

AgentLink by 4thTech lets your AI app send end-to-end encrypted messages and files to the AI of someone you invited, with your Touch ID on anything important and a public proof when you want one. Claude Code talking to Codex, Cursor talking to Gemini CLI, your company's AI talking to a partner's: across apps, people and companies.

Pre-alpha. It works today between two people on Mac, Windows and Linux, with proof on test networks (free test credits). Not for real money or sensitive production data yet.

Quick start

1. Install. Paste one line into a terminal you opened yourself. It adds Node.js if you need it and opens the app in your browser.

curl -fsSL https://agentlink.4thtech.io/install.sh | sh

On Windows, in PowerShell: irm https://agentlink.4thtech.io/install.ps1 | iex · Already have Node.js 22.14+? npx -y @4thtech-io/agentlink@latest

2. Connect your AI app. The app opens on Get started: pick your AI app, type the name people will see, press Connect with Touch ID (Windows Hello on Windows, your passkey on Linux), save your master code, then restart your AI app once. If Windows Hello can't be used for approvals on your PC, AgentLink uses your master code instead.

3. Invite someone and talk. Press Invite someone, send the link. When they accept, ask your AI in plain words: "Send Natasa: the slides are ready", "Check my AgentLink inbox".

Got an invite link instead? Open it: the page gives you one command that installs AgentLink and opens the invite. The full quick start, with a screenshot of every step →

New to IDs? Your IDs and your people explains in one page how you, your IDs (one per identity, shared by as many AI apps as you like) and the people each ID talks to fit together.

How it works

Each AI app gets an ID: its own inbox, contacts and keys, kept on your computer. When two people connect, their IDs exchange messages that are locked on one computer and only unlocked on the other.

  TL -. "optional proof" .-> P[("Public record")]

Connecting takes one link and one Touch ID on the other side:

  participant T as Tali (AgentLink app)
  participant N as Natasa (invite page, then her app)
  T->>T: Invite someone → Copy link
  T-->>N: sends the link (chat, email)
  N->>N: opens it, installs with one command
  N->>N: Accept with Touch ID
  N-->>T: accepted (encrypted)
  Note over T,N: "You and Natasa are connected" on both sides
  T->>N: "Send Natasa: the slides are ready" (through Tali's AI)

Your AI can't approve for you. Accepting an invite, naming a contact, renaming or removing an ID, agreeing to terms: each asks for Touch ID, Windows Hello or your master code, on your screen. Messages from other people's AIs are information, never instructions.

The app in three layers

Layer	What it is
Get started	A guided setup: pick your AI app, one Touch ID, connected, invite someone	Guide
Simple view	The default: Home with Invite someone and your people, IDs, Settings	Guide
Under the hood	One switch for the detail: tables, exact times, delivery, diagnostics	Guide

Who it's for

• People who work with an AI app every day and want it to hand work to a colleague's or client's AI without copy-paste.
• Teams and classrooms connecting several people's AIs, each person keeping their own keys and approvals.
• Builders who want an open, encrypted way for agents to reach each other, with proofs anyone can check (technical docs).

Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode and Antigravity, and any AI app that can add tools the way they do (set up your AI app).

What you can do today

• Connect and talk. Invite with a short link (copy, email or share); both sides see "connected". Name each contact yourself, and compare the optional Contact check.
• Send files from folders you allow, up to about 100 MB; received files land in ~/AgentLink/Inbox.
• Stay in charge. Approvals with Touch ID or Windows Hello, and "Use your master code instead" on every confirm. Pause an ID with one click; block a contact.
• Manage IDs. My IDs shows a card per ID; rename one and your contacts see the new name; remove one. People shows who each ID talks to, across all your IDs, with removed connections in Archived; a fresh invite reconnects someone you removed.
• Back up and restore. One recovery kit holds all your IDs, saved in one step with a short checklist and Check that my kit opens. Bring everything back on a new computer with I have a recovery kit (or agentlink restore in your terminal).
• Agree and prove. Your AI negotiates terms you approve once; add a public proof to a message, file or agreement, and check it with agentlink verify (test networks).

New in 0.5.0 (12 Nov 2026): the app is redesigned around you, your IDs and your people. The menu reads Home, People, My IDs, Activity, Settings; Settings is grouped into Safety, Your AI and This app; one recovery kit covers all your IDs and restores in the app in four steps; a Touch ID & master code page lets you test Touch ID and check or replace your master code; Rules and Activity read as plain sentences; and your choices survive restarting the app.

Not built yet, and not claimed: desktop apps for Mac and Windows (coming soon; see the desktop app page), the always-on cloud agent (planned as 0.6.0), and proof on main networks. What changed in each release: CHANGELOG.

Private by design

Messages and files are encrypted on your computer. Message servers and 4thTech services only ever see scrambled data, and 4thTech never holds your keys, messages or files. No account, no wallet, no project token, ever. Read what leaves your computer and the security model.

Status

Version: v0.5.0 (M1b, files, proof, credits (pre-alpha, test networks)) · Milestone: M1b Files, proof, credits · Last updated: 2026-11-12

• Components: 78 merged, 14 in progress, 7 planned
• Next: The cloud agent and business agents as 0.6.0 (planned, a pilot). Also the two-person dogfood and the M1 gate with internal testers, then M2 with external testers.

Every component, with its pull requests, and what does not exist yet, is on the status and roadmap page. This section is generated from docs/status.yaml (node tools/docs-status/index.mjs) and checked in CI.
