Show HN: Teemux – Zero-config log multiplexer with built-in MCP server (teemux.com)

Couldn't coding agents just run `tail -f *`?

That would require restarting your services to redirect their output. Fine for one-off scripts, but impractical when you have long-running processes and don't want to restart them every time an agent needs to read logs.

With teemux, a persistent MCP server gives multiple AI agents access to logs as needed—without interrupting your development flow.

OK, but it isn't like agents react to flowing logs, they just connect to whatever server and query the past 5 minutes or 2 hours on demand depending on the debugging task at hand without mixing contexts together.

love the utility. I've used hacky stuff in the past to combine logs from different processes.

Can I aggregate logs from processes running on different machines?

Funny you ask. This project started as a very different project almost five years ago. It was called roarr.io, and the primary purpose was exactly that: adhoc collecting logs from remote machines. However, I've not ported this functionality (yet).

Cool utility. Horrendous name.

lowkey thought it is a genius name

tee (Unix command that splits output) + mux (multiplexer) = teemux

Pronounced tmux. That's a thing. A very related thing. A very well-known thing. It's a bad name. I do like the concept though (haven't tried using it yet).

Fair point
