Grove Launches Shared Terminal For AI Agents
Grove is an AI-native macOS script runner that lets developers and coding agents control the same processes through a menu bar app, CLI, and MCP server. It discovers project scripts, shares logs and port status, and can explain crashes locally with Apple Intelligence.
Grove targets an overlooked failure mode in agentic development: humans and agents unknowingly launching duplicate or conflicting background processes.
- –Shared process visibility gives agents awareness of existing dev servers and running scripts
- –MCP access makes terminal operations controllable from coding-agent workflows
- –Real pseudo-terminals preserve colors, prompts, signals, progress bars, and shell behavior
- –Automatic discovery across Node, Deno, Python, Rust, Go, Make, and monorepos lowers setup friction
- –On-device crash explanations are useful for privacy-sensitive projects, though macOS 26 compatibility limits the feature’s reach
