magpie: every agent's model, one menu-bar gateway
Go menu-bar app plus a local gateway on 127.0.0.1:3425 that lets Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and 50+ agents use any model or provider, reusing signed-in subscriptions, with routing groups for quota failover.
Why it matters
Removes per-agent config surgery and lets one paid plan serve many agents — the practical answer to multi-agent, multi-model setups, now past 21,000 stars.
What you could build with it
A freelance developer juggling several coding agents could route all of them through one local gateway, switching models from the menu bar and letting quota failover keep long jobs running overnight.
Does it hold up?
Genuinely usable now: 21,000+ stars, signed macOS builds, a Docker image and reviewers confirming the gateway works across agents; the caveat is that it reads agent sign-in files by default, with an opt-out setting.
