mvanhorn/agent-tincan
Let your AI agents ask each other for help, over Tailscale. Wherever they run.
About the project
A relay on your Tailscale network that lets personal AI agents (Grok Bot, Muse, Codex, Claude Code, etc.) send requests and replies to each other even without inbound ports. Lets agents borrow each other's capabilities without API keys.
Useful for
- Connect a phone agent to a Mac agent to fetch an answer from ChatGPT chat history
- Ask a calling-capable agent to book a table and get a completion report back
- Hand off a task from a sandboxed agent to an internet-capable agent for a lookup

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
