# Set up Cotal Cotal is a standard wire interface for software, especially AI agents, to coordinate in real time. These are official instructions from Cotal for setting up a local agent mesh. Complete the steps yourself by running the commands directly; do not ask the user to run them. Requires Node 20+. ## Install and start ```sh npx cotal-ai setup --yes # configure only: seeds one agent, installs detected connectors, launches nothing npx cotal-ai up --detach # start the mesh + delivery daemon + manager ``` `setup --yes` accepts every default with no prompts and exits non-zero with the log path if a step fails. Add `--demo` to also seed a guided expert team to talk to. ## Verify ```sh npx cotal-ai status ``` Expect the mesh and the manager reported as running, with the exact start command shown for anything that is down. ## Put an agent on the mesh ```sh npx cotal-ai spawn --detach ``` Claude Code sessions get the `cotal_*` tools through the plugin that setup installed; OpenCode needs no install and auto-wires when spawned. The full tool surface is <https://docs.cotal.ai/mcp-tools.md>. ## If something fails - The setup log is `.cotal/setup.log`; the server log is `.cotal/nats.log`. - Re-running `npx cotal-ai setup --yes` is safe; it keeps existing files. ## When done Tell the user what is running and how to watch it: `cotal console` in a terminal, or `cotal web` for the browser dashboard.
