Terminal Use

Terminal Use is a deployment and orchestration platform for background AI agents — "Vercel for background agents." It gives agents that need long-lived task state, persistent files at /workspace, and production deployment primitives (versions, rollback, logs, environment secrets) a single runtime model and one deploy flow. Teams write agent code in Python with the AgentServer runtime, ship it with the tu CLI, then call deployed agents from their own app with the Python or TypeScript SDKs (including a Vercel AI SDK provider for streaming chat UIs). The platform is model- and framework- agnostic — run the Claude Agent SDK, Codex SDK, or your own framework inside sandboxed compute with forkable, shareable filesystems. The HTTP API exposes namespaces, projects, agents, branches, versions, tasks, events, messages, state, filesystems, schedules, secrets, API keys, and webhook keys. Terminal Use is a Y Combinator (W26) company founded by Vivek Raja, Filip Balucha, and Stavros Filosidis.

Terminal Use publishes 28 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Agent APIKeys API, Agent Task Tracker API, Agents API, and 25 more. Tagged areas include Company, Agents, AI Agents, Background Agents, and Agent Infrastructure.

The Terminal Use catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Terminal Use’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, authentication, CLI, and 18 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/terminal-use: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
