Agents

Coding agents reach Hoista through MCP. Each one asks to connect, you allow it with an access level, and Hoista asks you before anything it can’t undo.

`hoist agents`

Coding agents connected to Hoista, and what they may do.

hoist agents

`hoist agents requests`

Coding tools asking to connect.

hoist agents requests

`hoist agents allow [REQUEST]`

Let a coding tool that asked connect.

hoist agents allow                        # pick the request, check its code
hoist agents allow 0b4d... --access ask --projects my-app,my-web

Argument or flag	What it does
`[REQUEST]`	Request id. In a terminal, pick it from a list instead.
`--access <ACCESS>`	What it may do. One of: view, ask, full.
`--projects <PROJECTS>`	Only these projects (names or ids, comma-separated). Default: every project.

`hoist agents deny <REQUEST>`

Turn down a coding tool that asked to connect.

hoist agents deny 0b4d...

Argument or flag	What it does
`<REQUEST>`	Request id.

`hoist agents access [AGENT]`

Change what a connected agent may do and touch.

hoist agents access claude-code --access view
hoist agents access claude-code --access full
hoist agents access claude-code --projects my-app --expires 2026-12-31T00:00:00Z

Argument or flag	What it does
`[AGENT]`	Agent name or id.
`--access <ACCESS>`	What it may do. One of: view, ask, full.
`--projects <PROJECTS>`	Only these projects (names or ids, comma-separated).
`--all-projects`	Every project.
`--expires <WHEN>`	Its access ends at this time (RFC 3339), or “never”.

`hoist agents pause`

Pause every agent’s access. Undo with hoist agents resume.

hoist agents pause

`hoist agents resume`

Let agents in again after a pause.

hoist agents resume

Cut every agent off now and pause access. Projects keep running.

Projects keep running. If a provider token may have leaked, rotate it too: hoist accounts rotate ACCOUNT.

`hoist agents revoke [AGENT]`

Disconnect one agent. Its token stops working now.

hoist agents revoke codex

Argument or flag	What it does
`[AGENT]`	Agent name or id.

`hoist agents rotate [AGENT]`

Give a local agent a new token; the old one stops working. Also reconnects a disconnected one.

hoist agents rotate claude-code

Argument or flag	What it does
`[AGENT]`	Agent name or id.

`hoist mcp`

Connect coding tools and web agents over MCP.

hoist mcp --name "Claude Code"     # what a coding tool runs

Argument or flag	What it does
`--name <NAME>`	The name the agent shows up as in Hoista.

`hoist mcp config`

Print what to add to a coding tool’s MCP settings.

hoist mcp config

Argument or flag	What it does
`--name <NAME>`	The name the agent shows up as in Hoista.

`hoist mcp http [STATE]`

MCP over HTTP, for ChatGPT and other web agents: on or off, and its address.

hoist mcp http                                   # on or off, and the address to give ChatGPT
cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:8788   # any tunnel or proxy to port 8788
hoist mcp http off                               # stop serving web agents

Argument or flag	What it does
`[STATE]`	Turn it on or off. Without it, shows whether it’s on and its address. One of: on, off.
`--forget`	Forget its public address, to use a different tunnel or proxy. Agents connected at the old one sign in again.
`--url <URL>`	Set its public address yourself, for a tunnel or proxy that doesn’t pass it on, such as `https://hoista.example.com`.

`hoist skills install`

Install Hoista’s skills into Claude Code and Codex, or only one.
