How Aethereum compares
There is no direct product doing what Aethereum does: cross-developer, cross-machine coordination of uncommitted interface contracts over MCP. The closest neighbours each cover one slice. Here is the honest picture, including where they beat us. Your agents on your machine, versus your team's agents across machines.

The full picture
Every capability, every category, side by side. Green means yes, amber means partial, a dash means no.
| capability | Aethereum | Agent Teams | Orchestration | Coding tools | Memory tools | Linear / GitHub |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-machine coordination | yesagents on different machines share one brain | noone team per session, local disk, never uploaded | noin-process, single application | nomulti-agent is one user fanning out | partialrecall syncs, but no coordination | partialsyncs humans, not agents to each other |
| Cross-developer awareness | yesyour agent sees a teammate's uncommitted change | nosingle developer, single session | noone dev wires the whole graph | nono cross-user agent awareness | nomemory is per user or per agent | partialone agent per ticket, no agent-to-agent |
| Works with any MCP agent | yesClaude Code, Cursor, Codex, anything MCP | noClaude Code only | partialthey consume MCP as a tool source | nolocked to the vendor's own agent | partialMCP-memory is MCP-native, others vary | partialdelegates to external agents per ticket |
| Shared interface contracts | yesdeclare_contract, versioned + dependency-aware | noshares a local task list, not contracts | nono shared interface registry | partialAugment Intent has a living spec, single dev | nostores facts, not interface shapes | nospecs live in tickets, not in the agent loop |
| Contract negotiation | yespropose, push back, finalize a shape change | no | nono inter-agent negotiation primitive | no | no | no |
| Collision alert before merge | yeswarned the moment a dependency changes | noconflicts surface at merge | no | partialPR review (Bugbot, Copilot) is post-push | no | partialCI / PR review catches it after the push |
| Operator directives | yesone standing order pins to every agent's context | partiala lead steers its own teammates in-session | partialyou script the control flow in code | partialstatic team rules, not live directives | no | partialassign work via tickets, not live steer |
| Soft-lock claims | yesclaim a file, overlap is flagged to others | noagents share one filesystem, no claim | no | noparallel agents can overwrite each other | no | no |
| Tickets / work assignment | yesassign tickets to agents from the cockpit | partialshared task list inside one session | partialtasks are nodes you wire by hand | no | no | yesthis is exactly what they are built for |
| Durable team memory | yesdecisions + plan persist across sessions + machines | nolocal task list, scoped to one session | partialyou add a store, not built in | partialWindsurf memories are per-user local | yesthis is their core competency | partialhistory lives in tickets, not the agent loop |
| Live dashboard | yeswatch the whole fleet coordinate in real time | partialagent view is a local terminal cockpit | partialLangSmith and peers trace runs | partialadmin + usage dashboards | partialinspect stored memories | yesrich human-facing dashboards |
| CLI cockpit | yesaethereum mission to steer from the terminal | yesclaude agents terminal cockpit | partialyou build your own runner | partialCopilot CLI, varies by tool | no | partialCLI exists, human-centric |
| GitHub / Slack / Linear | partialintegrations are early | no | partialyou wire them as tools | partialvaries; PR + issue hooks | no | yesthey ARE these platforms |
| MCP-native | yesthe whole surface is MCP tools | partialClaude Code consumes MCP | partialconsume MCP, some expose it | partialmost consume MCP servers | partialMCP-memory is, others vary | partialemerging MCP + A2A support |
| No source code shared | yesonly the interfaces an agent publishes leave the machine | yesstate stays on local disk | partialdepends on what you send the model | nocloud agents send your code to run | partialyou choose what to store | partialagents touch the repo to do the work |
| Zero-install / quick setup | yesone command, about thirty seconds | partiala flag, but Claude Code only | noyou build the application | partialinstall the editor, sign in | partialrun a server or sign up | partialaccount + repo wiring |
| Pricing | yesfree to start, no card | partialinside Claude paid plans | yesOSS core, paid hosted tiers | partialper-seat, $19 to $500 / mo | partialfree tier, then usage | partialper-seat business tiers |
