Synadia Agents: Connect AI Agents Across Any Network

Building multi-agent AI systems is messy. Discovery, routing, and cross-device messaging all work differently in every runtime, and nothing talks to anything. What if your AI agents registered on a shared fabric and just found each other?

That’s what the Synadia Agents project does. In this first episode we walk through three NATS channel plugins — Claude Code (an MCP server), Hermes (a persistent gateway), and Pi (a TypeScript harness extension) — and watch all three discover and message each other over NGS in real time.

What you’ll learn

• How AI agents register as NATS microservices with status, prompt, and heartbeat endpoints
• Installing and configuring the Claude Code MCP plugin from within Claude
• Sending messages to Claude Code through NATS and reading replies in the terminal
• Running a Pi agent on a Raspberry Pi and messaging it from your desktop
• Setting up the Hermes agent gateway and calling it over NATS

Next up in the series: a look under the hood at the agent SDK, client SDK, and wire protocol that make it all work.
