Overview

Claude Octopus

One brain, many arms.

An MCP server that wraps the Claude Agent SDK, letting you run multiple specialized Claude Code agents — each with its own model, tools, system prompt, and personality — from any MCP client.

Why

Claude Code is powerful. But one instance does everything the same way. Sometimes you want a strict code reviewer that only reads files. A test writer that defaults to TDD. A cheap quick helper on Haiku. A deep thinker on Opus.

Claude Octopus lets you spin up as many of these as you need. Same binary, different configurations.

Quick Start

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["claude-octopus"],
      "env": {
        "CLAUDE_PERMISSION_MODE": "bypassPermissions"
      }
    }
  }
}

Key Features

Multi-instance — run several agents with different configs simultaneously
18 env vars — model, tools, effort, permissions, plugins, prompts, and more
Per-invocation overrides — change model, tools, effort, permissions per call
Session continuity — follow up on previous conversations via _reply tool
Factory wizard — generate .mcp.json configs interactively
Hot-configurable — plugins, effort, permissions adjustable per invocation

Server Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "claude-octopus"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLAUDE_PERMISSION_MODE": "bypassPermissions"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zhipu Web Search MCP Server is a search engine specifically designed for large models. It integrates four search engines, allowing users to flexibly compare and switch between them. Building upon the web crawling and ranking capabilities of traditional search engines, it enhances intent recognition capabilities, returning results more suitable for large model processing (such as webpage titles, URLs, summaries, site names, site icons, etc.). This helps AI applications achieve "dynamic knowledge acquisition" and "precise scenario adaptation" capabilities.
