Roundtable MCP, Orchestrate Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini and Codex

Hey HN, Last week, I spent 40 minutes debugging a production issue that should have taken 5. Not because the bug was complex, but because I kept switching between Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini - copying context, losing thread, starting over. The workflow was painful: 1. Claude Code couldn't reproduce a React rendering bug 2. Copy-pasted 200 lines to Cursor - different answer, still wrong 3. Tried Codex - needed to re-explain the database schema 4. Finally Gemini spotted it, but I'd lost the original error logs This context-switching tax happens weekly. So I built Roundtable AI MCP Server. What makes it different: Unlike existing multi-agent tools that require custom APIs or complex setup, Roundtable works with your existing AI CLI tools through the Model Context Protocol. Zero configuration - it auto-discovers what's installed and just works. Architecture: Your IDE → MCP Server → Multiple AI CLIs (parallel execution) It runs CLI Coding Agents in headless mode and shares the results with the LLM of choice. Real examples I use daily: Example 1 - Parallel Code Review: Claude Code > Run Gemini, Codex, Cursor and Claude Code Subagent in parallel and task them to review my landing page at '@frontend/src/app/roundtable/page.tsx' → Gemini: React performance, component architecture, UX patterns → Codex: Code quality, TypeScript usage, best practices → Cursor: Accessibility, SEO optimization, modern web standards → Claude: Business logic, user flow, conversion optimization Save their review in {subagent_name}_review.md then aggregate their feedback Example 2 - Sequential Task Delegation: First: Assign Gemini Subagent to summarize the logic of '@server.py' Then: Send summary to Codex Subagent to implement Feature X from 'feature_x_spec.md' Finally: I run the code and provide feedback to Codex until all tests in 'test_cases.py' pass (Tests hidden from Codex to avoid overfitting) Example 3 - Specialized Debugging: Assign Cursor with GPT-5 and Cursor with Claude-4-thinking to debug issues in 'server.py' Here's the production log: [memory leak stacktrace] Create comprehensive fix plan with root cause analysis All run in parallel with shared project context. Takes 2-5 minutes vs 20+ minutes of manual copy-paste coordination. Try it: pip install roundtable-ai roundtable-ai --check # Shows which AI tools you have I'd love feedback on: 1. Which AI combinations work best for your debugging workflows? 2. Any IDE integration pain points? 3. Team adoption blockers I should address?
