Hey HN,
Last week, I spent 40 minutes debugging a production issue that should have taken 5. Not because the bug was complex, but because I kept switching between Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and
Gemini - copying context, losing thread, starting over.
The workflow was painful:
1. Claude Code couldn't reproduce a React rendering bug
2. Copy-pasted 200 lines to Cursor - different answer, still wrong
3. Tried Codex - needed to re-explain the database schema
4. Finally Gemini spotted it, but I'd lost the original error logs
This context-switching tax happens weekly. So I built Roundtable AI MCP Server.
What makes it different:
Unlike existing multi-agent tools that require custom APIs or complex setup, Roundtable works with your existing AI CLI tools through the Model Context Protocol. Zero configuration – it
auto-discovers what’s installed and just works.
Architecture: Your IDE → MCP Server → Multiple AI CLIs (parallel execution)It runs CLI Coding Agents in headless mode and shares the results with the LLM of choice.
Real examples I use daily:
Example 1 - Parallel Code Review:
Claude Code > Run Gemini, Codex, Cursor and Claude Code Subagent in parallel and task them to review my landing page at '@frontend/src/app/roundtable/page.tsx'
→ Gemini: React performance, component architecture, UX patterns
→ Codex: Code quality, TypeScript usage, best practices
→ Cursor: Accessibility, SEO optimization, modern web standards
→ Claude: Business logic, user flow, conversion optimization
Save their review in {subagent_name}_review.md then aggregate their feedback
Example 2 - Sequential Task Delegation:
First: Assign Gemini Subagent to summarize the logic of '@server.py'
Then: Send summary to Codex Subagent to implement Feature X from 'feature_x_spec.md'
Finally: I run the code and provide feedback to Codex until all tests in 'test_cases.py' pass
(Tests hidden from Codex to avoid overfitting)
Example 3 - Specialized Debugging:
Assign Cursor with GPT-5 and Cursor with Claude-4-thinking to debug issues in 'server.py'
Here's the production log: [memory leak stacktrace]
Create comprehensive fix plan with root cause analysis
All run in parallel with shared project context. Takes 2-5 minutes vs 20+ minutes of manual copy-paste coordination.
Try it:
pip install roundtable-ai
roundtable-ai –check # Shows which AI tools you have
I'd love feedback on:
1. Which AI combinations work best for your debugging workflows?
2. Any IDE integration pain points?
3. Team adoption blockers I should address?
