    Couldn't coding agents just run `tail -f *`?

      That would require restarting your services to redirect their output. Fine for one-off scripts, but impractical when you have long-running processes and don't want to restart them every time an agent needs to read logs.

      With teemux, a persistent MCP server gives multiple AI agents access to logs as needed—without interrupting your development flow.

        OK, but it isn't like agents react to flowing logs, they just connect to whatever server and query the past 5 minutes or 2 hours on demand depending on the debugging task at hand without mixing contexts together.

    Cool utility. Horrendous name.

      lowkey thought it is a genius name

      tee (Unix command that splits output) + mux (multiplexer) = teemux

        Pronounced tmux. That's a thing. A very related thing. A very well-known thing. It's a bad name. I do like the concept though (haven't tried using it yet).

          Fair point
