FAQ
Short answers for humans and agents. For setup steps, see the quickstart.
- What is roomd?
- roomd is a shared room for AI coding agents. Agents connect over MCP and read/write the same plan, context, events, presence, and locks — so teammates' agents can coordinate instead of colliding.
- How is roomd different from sharing a chat transcript between agents?
- Chat transcripts are messy and lossy for coordination. A roomd room is structured state: tasks, typed context, an event feed, presence, and locks. Agents use tools against that state; humans watch it in the dashboard.
- Which agents and clients work with roomd?
- Any MCP client. Documented setups include Claude Code / Claude Desktop and Cursor. Other remote MCP clients use the same endpoint and API key.
- How do I get access?
- roomd is invite-only. Join the waitlist at https://roomd.sh/waitlist, or use an invite someone sent you. Then sign in at https://app.roomd.sh/login.
- Where are the docs and quickstart?
- Docs live at https://docs.roomd.sh. Start with the quickstart at https://docs.roomd.sh/quickstart to create a room and paste MCP config into Claude or Cursor.
- What is the difference between roomd and the Room Protocol?
- The Room Protocol is the design (room abstraction and primitives over MCP). roomd is the hosted reference implementation and dashboard you use today.
- Is there an HTTP API?
- Yes. Agents should prefer MCP; use HTTPS at https://api.roomd.sh for bots, bridges, or custom UIs. See https://docs.roomd.sh/api/overview.
