Description
I started to use AI agents for coding and quickly ran into a frustrating limitation – there is no easy way to share my development environment logs with AI agents. So that's what is Teemux. A simple CLI program that aggregates logs, makes them available to you as a developer (in a pretty UI), and makes them available to your AI coding agents using MCP.There is one implementation detail that I geek out about:It is zero config and has built-in leader nomination for running the web server and MCP server. When you start one `teemux` instance, it starts web server, .. when you start second and third instances, they join the first server and start merging logs. If you were to kill the first instance, a new leader is nominated. This design allows to seamless add/remove nodes that share logs (a process that historically would have taken a central log aggregator).A super quick demo:npx teemux -- curl -N https://teemux.com/random-logs

Could you build this?
Yes Teemux is a process log multiplexer with a terminal/web UI and an MCP server interface, which can be cleanly vibe-coded in Go or Node.js using standard process spawning and SSE/JSON-RPC protocols.
Discussion
9 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: tmux, roarr.io, tail -f
Concerns raised: Name too similar to tmux, confusing, Requires restarting services to redirect output, Agents don't react to flowing logs in real-time, only query historical logs
Feature requests: Aggregate logs from processes on different machines, Port remote log collection functionality from roarr.io
