Is agentic-mcp-tools/owlex safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 62 out of 100 (good). It passes 4 of the 6 static security checks run so far; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.

Is agentic-mcp-tools/owlex still maintained?

About agentic-mcp-tools/owlex

agentic-mcp-tools/owlex is an MCP server published by agentic-box in the Developer Tools category: aI council server: query CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode) in parallel with deliberation rounds.

The repository has 140 stars and 16 forks, with the last commit 7 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.

Install

README

Owlex

Get a second opinion without leaving Claude Code.

Different AI models have different strengths and blind spots. Owlex lets you query Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, ClaudeOR, and AiChat directly from Claude Code - and optionally run a structured deliberation where they review each other's answers before Claude synthesizes a final response.

Council demo

How the Council Works

Round 1 - Your question goes to each agent independently. They answer without seeing each other.
Round 2 - Each agent sees all Round 1 answers and can revise their position.
Synthesis - Claude reviews everything and outputs a structured answer.

Use it for architecture decisions, debugging tricky issues, or when you want more confidence than a single model provides. Not for every question - for the ones that matter.

Data Flow

Council data flow

Installation

uv tool install git+https://github.com/agentic-mcp-tools/owlex.git

Add to .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "owlex": {
      "command": "owlex-server"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Council Deliberation

council_ask prompt="Should I use a monorepo or multiple repos for 5 microservices?"

Options:

claude_opinion - Share your initial thinking with agents
deliberate - Enable Round 2 revision (default: true)
critique - Agents critique each other instead of revise
roles - Assign specialist roles (dict or list)
team - Use a predefined team preset
timeout - Timeout per agent in seconds (default: 300)

Specialist Roles

Agents can operate with specialist perspectives that shape their analysis:

Role	Description
`security`	Security analyst - vulnerabilities, auth, data protection
`perf`	Performance optimizer - efficiency, caching, scalability
`skeptic`	Devil's advocate - challenge assumptions, find edge cases
`architect`	System architect - design patterns, modularity, APIs
`maintainer`	Code maintainer - readability, testing, tech debt
`dx`	Developer experience - ergonomics, documentation, errors
`testing`	Testing specialist - coverage, strategies, edge cases
`neutral`	No role injection (default)

Assign roles explicitly:

council_ask prompt="Review this auth flow" roles={"codex": "security", "gemini": "perf"}

Auto-assign from list (in agent order: codex, gemini, opencode, claudeor, aichat):

council_ask prompt="Review this code" roles=["security", "skeptic", "maintainer"]

Team Presets

Predefined role combinations for common scenarios:

Team	Codex	Gemini	OpenCode	ClaudeOR	AiChat
`security_audit`	security	skeptic	architect	dx	testing
`code_review`	maintainer	perf	testing	dx	security
`architecture_review`	architect	perf	maintainer	dx	skeptic
`devil_advocate`	skeptic	skeptic	skeptic	skeptic	skeptic
`balanced`	security	perf	maintainer	dx	testing
`optimal`	maintainer	architect	dx	skeptic	perf

council_ask prompt="Is this design secure?" team="security_audit"

Individual Agent Sessions

Tool	Description
`start_codex_session`	New Codex session
`resume_codex_session`	Resume with session ID or `--last`
`start_gemini_session`	New Gemini session
`resume_gemini_session`	Resume with index or `latest`
`start_opencode_session`	New OpenCode session
`resume_opencode_session`	Resume with session ID or `--continue`
`start_claudeor_session`	New Claude via OpenRouter session
`resume_claudeor_session`	Resume with session ID or `--continue`
`start_aichat_session`	New AiChat session
`resume_aichat_session`	Resume with session name

Claude Code Skills

Non-blocking slash commands for quick agent invocation:

Skill	Description
`/codex`	Ask Codex a question
`/gemini`	Ask Gemini a question
`/council`	Run council deliberation
`/critique`	Run council in critique mode

Async Task Management

Council runs in the background. Start a query, keep working, check results later.

Tool	Description
`wait_for_task`	Block until task completes
`get_task_result`	Check result without blocking
`list_tasks`	List tasks with status filter
`cancel_task`	Kill running task

Configuration

Variable	Default	Description
`COUNCIL_EXCLUDE_AGENTS`	``	Skip agents (e.g., `opencode,gemini,claudeor`)
`COUNCIL_DEFAULT_TEAM`	``	Default team when none specified (empty = neutral)
`COUNCIL_CLAUDE_OPINION`	`false`	Claude shares its opinion with agents by default
`OWLEX_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT`	`300`	Timeout in seconds
`CODEX_BYPASS_APPROVALS`	`false`	Bypass sandbox (use with caution)
`GEMINI_YOLO_MODE`	`false`	Auto-approve Gemini actions
`OPENCODE_AGENT`	`plan`	`plan` (read-only) or `build`
`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`	``	OpenRouter API key (enables ClaudeOR agent)
`CLAUDEOR_MODEL`	``	OpenRouter model for ClaudeOR (e.g., `deepseek/deepseek-v3.2`)
`AICHAT_MODEL`	``	Model for AiChat (e.g., `openrouter:minimax/minimax-m2.5`)

Cost Notes

Codex and Gemini use your existing subscriptions (Claude Max, Google AI Pro, etc.)
OpenCode and AiChat use API tokens (provider-dependent)
Exclude agents with COUNCIL_EXCLUDE_AGENTS to control costs
Use council for important decisions, not every question

When to Use Each Agent

Agent	Strengths
Codex (gpt5.2-codex)	Deep reasoning, code review, bug finding
Gemini	1M context window, multimodal, large codebases
OpenCode	Alternative perspective, configurable models
ClaudeOR	Claude Code + OpenRouter (DeepSeek, GPT-4o, etc.)
AiChat	Multi-provider (20+ backends), bring-your-own-model flexibility
Claude	Complex multi-step implementation, synthesis
