Key capabilitiesLink to this section

From the project's documentation:

  • The server is off until you turn it on, and it only listens on 127.0.0.1. Requests from a web page are refused.
  • Each client has its own token and only the permissions you ticked. Revoke one without touching the others.
  • Approvals for your agents are answered in the OmniGet window, never through MCP.
  • Claude Code and Codex accounts plug in with the login your terminal already has, and their quota shows on screen.
  • A sandboxed shell. On macOS shell_exec runs under seatbelt: no network, writes only inside the folder.
  • A memory the team shares. AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) plus notes in .omniget/kb/, inside your project.
