AI workspace — shared knowledge, skills, and tools for AI agents
Overview
Alloy is a hosted MCP endpoint that gives an AI agent a shared team workspace for reading knowledge, writing artifacts, and running workflows.
- What you can do
- Read shared organizational knowledge, docs, decisions and context before answering
- Write durable artifacts back to Alloy such as proposals, research, summaries, specs and notes
- Reach approved business systems through Alloy-governed upstream MCPs, APIs, files and secrets
- Delegate work to Alloy cloud agents and continue from their outputs
- Create AI teammates, instruction skills and executable workflows, and coordinate multi-agent handoffs
- When to use it
- Useful when a team wants several AI agents and people to share one source of truth for knowledge, artifacts and governed tool access, instead of configuring each integration per agent. Also suited to delegating work to cloud agents or turning repeatable work into governed workflows.
- Requirements
- A remote endpoint at api.alloy.cx over streamable HTTP, with a required bearer token sent in the Authorization header. The token comes from the Alloy PATs tab; the bundled plugin config reads it from the ALLOY_TOKEN environment variable, and the host must be restarted after install. An Alloy account is needed.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Alloy in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/cx.alloy%2Falloy/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Work with Alloy
About Alloy
Alloy is an AI-native workspace where your team and AI agents collaborate — sharing artifacts, knowledge, skills, and access to external systems, all on one foundation. Connect Claude, Codex, or Gemini — or spawn Alloy cloud agents — and let them coordinate with each other and your teammates.

This plugin teaches any AI agent to use Alloy as its source of truth and gives it reusable Alloy-specific operating skills — reading shared knowledge before answering, writing durable notes and artifacts, creating workflows, running operational reviews, and spawning autonomous agents.
The shared source of truth is the work-with-alloy skill. Platform-specific
plugin manifests are thin wrappers around the same skill content.
Use Cases
Use Alloy as an AI agent's shared operating layer for work with humans and other agents, including Claude, Codex, Alloy cloud agents, and other AI agents.
- Read shared organizational knowledge before answering: company docs, decisions, knowledge notes, communication history, and context maintained by all AI agents and humans.
- Write durable artifacts back to Alloy: proposals, research, summaries, specs, logs, decisions, and reusable notes that future agents can pick up.
- Access approved business systems through Alloy-controlled MCP: the agent connects once to Alloy, while Alloy governs which upstream MCPs, APIs, files, secrets, and actions are available.
- Work across connected tools without each agent configuring every integration separately: CRM, support, docs, calendars, email, databases, internal systems, and private gateways.
- Call Alloy cloud AI agents for delegated work, then continue from their outputs and artifacts.
- Create or configure Alloy AI teammates, instruction skills, and executable workflows so repeatable work becomes a governed organizational process.
- Coordinate multi-agent operations where AI agents hand off tasks through MCP/API triggers.
- Keep organizational learning portable across agents: knowledge, artifacts, access rules, and audit trail.

Shared Skill
The skills under skills/ are intended to stay host-neutral. Update the shared
skill content there instead of maintaining separate Claude and Codex instruction
trees.
Prerequisites
These apply to anyone installing the plugin into Claude Code or Codex.
1. ALLOY_TOKEN environment variable
The bundled .mcp.json reads the Alloy MCP bearer from ALLOY_TOKEN. Export
it in the host shell before starting Claude Code or Codex:
Get a token at https://alloy.cx/docs/reference/tech-docs/hosted-mcp.
2. Host restart after install
The plugin's MCP server is loaded by the host at startup. After installing or updating the plugin, restart the host so it can load the bundled MCP config.
Codex
The Codex plugin manifest references ./skills/ and ./.mcp.json.
Set ALLOY_TOKEN in the host environment before using the bundled MCP config.
Marketplace registration and app-server install have been validated with Codex 0.125.0:
Codex installs work-with-alloy from the marketplace entry pointing at a tagged
release. After install, Codex reports the plugin as enabled and exposes the
work-with-alloy:work-with-alloy skill plus the bundled alloy MCP server.
Claude Code
The Claude plugin manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json references the same
./skills/ and ./.mcp.json as the Codex side. Install flow once the Alloy
marketplace is published:
Claude Code's plugin installer clones plugin source from GitHub over SSH by
default. Before /plugin install, make sure one of these is true:
-
A working GitHub SSH key on this machine (test:
ssh -T [email protected]). -
A global git URL rewrite that pushes plugin clones through HTTPS:
Set ALLOY_TOKEN in the host environment before using the bundled MCP config.
After install, restart Claude Code and confirm registration:
Versioning policy
This project follows semantic versioning with synchronized releases across
Claude Code and Codex wrappers. A single version applies to the whole release:
the shared skill content in skills/work-with-alloy/, both plugin.json
manifests, the .mcp.json config, and this README. Both
.codex-plugin/plugin.json and .claude-plugin/plugin.json always carry the
same version field.
Semver semantics for this plugin
Pre-1.0 (0.x) signals "still stabilizing - minor bumps may include breaking
changes". The 1.0.0 line will be cut when the canonical paths and Core rules
are confirmed stable.
Release flow
- Work happens on feature branches, merged into
mainvia PR. - When
mainis in a state worth releasing, bump both.codex-plugin/plugin.jsonand.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonversionfields in the same commit. - Cut a git tag on the merge commit:
git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z. - Bump the corresponding
reffield in theAlloy-Systems/alloy-marketplacerepo'smarketplace.jsonentry forwork-with-alloy. Users receive the new version through/plugin updateonly after this marketplace bump. - Untagged commits on
mainare visible to anyone reading the repo but are not delivered through/plugin installor/plugin updateuntil the marketplace points at a new tag.
Cadence
Tags are cut per logical release, not on every commit. A typical trigger is a
new Core rule landing, a new reference playbook being added, or a breaking
restructure being completed and ready to ship. Cosmetic-only changes can
accumulate in main and be released as a patch bump when convenient.
