AgentCanvas by Developers Digest
Spin up ideas with any coding agent.
AgentCanvas is a universal visual adapter for Claude Code, Codex, MCP tools, and cheap subagents. Open a board, point an agent at it, and keep the ideas, files, screenshots, and decisions visible.
Boards live in your dashboard and agents drive them over MCP and the REST API.

Artifacts
Stop losing ideas in agent transcripts.
Put the actual output on the board: prompts, documents, previews, screenshots, browser evidence, workflow runs, and decision notes.
Claude Code
HTML preview
A generated product page, component state, or prototype rendered on the board.
Browser agent
Browser evidence
Screenshots, console notes, and route checks attached to the exact canvas item.
Subagents
Workflow run
Multi-step job output, status, logs, and follow-up tasks in the same visual lane.
A universal adapter for agent teams.
Claude Code, Codex, MCP tools, and sidecar subagents can all work against the same board. Every pass stays visible to the next agent and to you.
01
Plan
Codex writes the decision surface.
02
Build
Claude Code turns the plan into artifacts.
03
Verify
Browser and workflow agents attach evidence.
Field notes
Playbooks for agent-native work.
Short, practical notes on Claude Code, Codex, MCP tools, cheap subagents, and why visible artifacts beat transcript archaeology.

Cheap subagents are better when their work is visible
DeepSeek, Kimi, and other cheap model lanes are useful for drafts and exploration when their outputs become inspectable artifacts instead of hidden chat logs.

MCP tools need a shared board, not another transcript
MCP makes tools callable by agents. AgentCanvas makes the result of those tool calls visible to the next human or agent.
Universal adapter
Connect agents. Keep the artifacts.
Use the same canvas for Claude Code, Codex, MCP tools, browser checks, and remote agent runs. Boards persist in your Developers Digest account, and the MCP endpoint plugs into any agent that speaks the protocol.
