# Agents & subscriptions

The 25 coding-agent CLIs Mandeck can launch, how it reads each one's sign-in without asking you for anything, and how a second plan works.

## The catalog

An agent, to Mandeck, is a launch command it runs in a new pane. There is no
Mandeck account and no key collection: whatever you already installed and
logged into is what runs.

There is also **Shell** — a pane with no launch command, just your shell. Over
the [Deck API](/docs/deck-api) its slug is `shell`, and a shell pane is the one
kind that does *not* run a spawn's prompt; the prompt is recorded on the job
only.

`GET /v1/agents` returns the slugs this particular Mac can actually run, so a
bot never offers an agent that is not installed.

## How sign-in is detected

**Settings › Agents** reads straight from each CLI's own login — there is
no separate Mandeck sign-in. Whoever you logged that tool into shows there, with
its version.

The probe is pure file reads against each CLI's own credential store: instant,
no subprocesses, and best effort by design.

| Agent | Read from | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | `~/.claude.json` | `oauthAccount.emailAddress` and the subscription type |
| Codex | `~/.codex/auth.json` | the email and ChatGPT plan out of the id token |
| Gemini CLI | `~/.gemini/google_accounts.json` | the `active` account |
| opencode | `~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json` | how many upstream providers are connected |
| Cursor CLI | `~/.cursor/cli-config.json` | whether the file is there |

For every other agent the answer is *unknown*, and the row says **Installed**
rather than guessing.

When a row reads **Not signed in** it offers a Sign in button, which opens a
pane running that CLI's own login command:

| Agent | Login command |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | `claude /login` |
| Codex | `codex login` |
| Gemini CLI | `gemini` — the OAuth flow runs on first launch |
| opencode | `opencode auth login` |
| Cursor CLI | `cursor-agent login` |

## A second subscription

**Settings › Agents › Extra subscriptions** is manual, and only
if you hold more than one plan: name a second account and paste a
`claude setup-token`. Mandeck records only that a token is connected, never an
email — the identity above already comes from the CLI. *Default* is just the
`~/.claude` every CLI already uses.

Each named account gets **Get token**, **Paste token** (**Replace token** once
one is connected), **Sign in**, and **Forget**. An account with a token
connected carries a live meter in Stats and can be switched mid-pane.

Over the API, `GET /v1/accounts` lists the accounts this deck can spend,
`POST /v1/accounts` ensures one exists, and `POST /v1/spawn` takes an `account`
so a handed-off task runs on the plan you chose.
