Aptly: local MCP server recommends subagent models via OpenAI Decisions API
CH_CGV · reddit · 2026-11-15
Aptly is a new MIT-licensed local MCP server for Codex and Claude Code that uses the OpenAI Decisions API to recommend a subagent model from your configured list, plus reasoning effort for Codex.
- MCP tools provide the recommendations; Hooks can route supported subagent calls through them. Explicit model/effort settings and permissions are preserved, and execution stays with the host
- Task-context sharing for automatic recommendations is configurable
- Requires Node.js 24+ and an OpenAI API key; install via npm as aptly, code and setup on GitHub
