HarnessRouter Community Edition

Open-source infrastructure for connecting multiple agent harnesses to a unified Agent API

Last Updated 9/10/2026

About HarnessRouter Community Edition

HarnessRouter Community Edition is open-source infrastructure for agent-powered products. It connects agent harnesses such as Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Qwen Code, and Cline to a single Agent API and runs on your own infrastructure. Gateway, Runner, and Console can be started in a single Docker container; the API, Console, SQLite state, and workspace files stay on infrastructure you control. It also handles the backend lifecycle of each harness and is compatible with the OpenAI Responses API.
