Apra Fleet: Open‑Source MCP Server for Claude Agentic Coding
Install Apra Fleet via the one‑liner and register doer and reviewer members to enable doer‑reviewer loops on a single machine.
Install Apra Fleet on your development machine and register doer and reviewer members to streamline Claude sessions.
Summary
Apra Fleet is an open‑source MCP server that lets a single Claude Code session orchestrate agents across machines. The v0.1 release introduces doer‑reviewer loops that pair a code writer and a reviewer on the same machine, eliminating the need for a homelab. Credentials are never sent to the LLM; passwords are entered in a side‑channel terminal and stored encrypted in a Unix domain socket. A new credential store (v0.1.8) allows secure substitution of secrets via {{secure.NAME}} without exposing them in prompts. Short‑lived (1‑hour) GitHub App tokens give members read or admin access to scoped repos, limiting exposure if a member is compromised. Installation is a one‑liner for macOS, Linux, or Windows, and the Fleet skill is enabled in Claude with the /mcp command. The tool removes the illusion of progress that comes from constantly opening terminals and switching contexts, replacing it with a single conversation that can dispatch work to any registered machine.
The core value proposition is a workflow‑centric agent platform that keeps Claude in a single context while still enabling distributed execution, secure credential handling, and automated code review.
Future updates will add multi‑machine mode, more granular permission scopes, and tighter integration with CI/CD pipelines.
