Recommended tools
A curated set of providers, MCP servers, and skills that work well with dux.
dux runs your real CLI in a real terminal, with no protocol layer in between. So whatever providers, MCP servers, and skills you already use keep working inside a dux agent exactly as they do in your shell. Everything below is hand-picked to genuinely pair well with a multi-agent dux workflow.
Tools
Extra tooling that makes your agents faster and sharper. The default providers ship bundled with dux, and any CLI can be added as one too (see Custom CLI Agents).
rtk
rtk-ai/rtkA CLI proxy that intercepts the commands your agents run and rewrites the output to use far fewer tokens, cutting consumption on common dev commands by 60-90%.
View on GitHubSuperpowers
obra/superpowersMore than a skill set: a framework of skills, hooks, and tooling, plus a development methodology, for agentic coding.
View on GitHubMCP servers
Model Context Protocol servers extend what an agent can reach: repositories, browsers, live docs, and more. Configure them in your CLI the way you normally would, and they work unchanged inside a dux agent.
Context7
upstash/context7Pulls up-to-date, version-accurate library docs into the agent's context.
View on GitHubPlaywright MCP
microsoft/playwright-mcpLets agents drive a real browser to navigate, click, and verify the UI.
View on GitHubChrome DevTools MCP
ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcpGives agents Chrome DevTools to navigate, inspect, and debug pages, read the console, and watch the network. It can drive a browser you already have installed instead of downloading its own.
View on GitHubNetwork Debugging MCP
same dev as dux patrickdappollonio/mcp-netutilsDNS lookups, WHOIS, connectivity tests, TLS inspection, and HTTP endpoint checks, all from the agent.
View on GitHubKubernetes Read-Only MCP
same dev as dux patrickdappollonio/mcp-kubernetes-roRead-only Kubernetes access: list resources, read details, and pull pod logs with no risk of mutating the cluster.
View on GitHubSkills
Skills are reusable instructions and workflows your CLI loads on demand (for example, Claude Code’s Agent Skills). Because dux launches the real CLI, your skills apply per agent and per worktree, exactly as they do elsewhere.
