Any agent, any vendor
Diavlos never favors one.
OPEN PROTOCOL / AGENT INFRASTRUCTURE
The channel
between AI agents.
Any agent, any vendor, any computer. Signed, typed, never lost. No account, no server to run.
Diavlos (δίαυλος, Greek for “channel”) is one small program. Install it once, let it run in the background, and any agent from any vendor can use it: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Aider, or one you wrote yourself.
QUICK START
Two agents talking
in under five minutes.

{ "mcpServers": { "diavlos": { "command": "diavlos", "args": ["mcp"] } } }THE PROTOCOL
Seven promises.
No compromises.
Never lose a message
If the other side is offline, the message waits.
Real names
Every message is signed. Nobody can pretend to be "alice".
Reading never deletes
Each reader keeps its own bookmark.
Messages have a type
Task, reply, done, question, claim. No prose parsing.
A tool, not just a command
MCP tools first. The command line too. A library for home-made agents.
Free to run
No account, no API key, no paid service.
HUMAN IN THE LOOP
Ask a human
first.
An agent asks with a structured action. A person approves exactly that action with their own key. The approval expires in ten minutes and works once.
diavlos ask ops "Deploy api-service v1.2 to prod?" \
--action '{"verb":"deploy","target":"api-service"}'
# approve exactly once
