Conductor MCP

Introducing the Conductor MCP! Agents can use the Conductor MCP to create and manage cloud workspaces, read sessions, and more. Add the MCP anywhere you run your agents.

Try asking your agent to:

• “Review my workspace diff and leave inline comments.”
• “Address the comments in the Changes panel.”
• “Check why the dev server failed.”
• “Inspect this file on my Mac.”
• “Create another workspace and ask an agent to investigate X.”

We’ve also added support for cloud MCPs. Add your favorites in Settings → MCP servers.

Your Cloud Computer got more oomph - they now have double the disk space (64GB).

We now have PDF support!

And finally, we’ve added support for Claude concise responses. Adjust in Settings → Default models.

Introducing Conductor Cloud

Conductor Cloud is here!

Cloud workspaces run in isolated sandboxes, so agents keep working when you close the app or step away from your computer.

To get started, sign up for Pro and create an organization.

Work from anywhere, together

Conductor Cloud runs on isolated microVMs with your repos and dependencies pre-installed.

Workspaces keep going when you close your laptop and can be opened from the desktop app, the mobile app (coming soon), or the Conductor API. Share a workspace link (⌘⇧C) with teammates, see who is active, follow work you care about, and prompt agents together in real time.

API

curl https://api.conductor.build/v0/projects \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Today we’re also launching the Conductor API, which lets you manage cloud workspaces programmatically. Use it to do things like:

• Create workspaces, send prompts to the coding agent, and read its replies.
• Build bots that kick off agent work.
• Run and manage Conductor workspaces from your OpenClaw.

We’ve already seen users build awesome stuff like their own mobile apps 👀, UI clients, and internal tools, like Slackbots.

Get started with the API.
