Setup guide

Set up managed-agents in Cline

communitystdiounknown

Open-source CMA-compatible agent runtime. Run multi-agent systems locally with any model (Ollama/vLLM/Claude/GPT), MCP tools, scenario templates, and a beautiful dashboard. One command start. Built for enterprise teams.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "managed-agents": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "managed-agents"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to cline_mcp_settings.json. Generated from the captured install method (npx); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

02Steps

Make sure Cline is installed and up to date.
Open cline_mcp_settings.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
Restart Cline and confirm managed-agents’s tools appear.
