Show HN: Teemux – Zero-config log multiplexer with built-in MCP server

I started to use AI agents for coding and quickly ran into a frustrating limitation – there is no easy way to share my development environment logs with AI agents. So that's what is Teemux. A simple CLI program that aggregates logs, makes them available to you as a developer (in a pretty UI), and makes them available to your AI coding agents using MCP. There is one implementation detail that I geek out about: It is zero config and has built-in leader nomination for running the web server and MCP server. When you start one `teemux` instance, it starts web server, .. when you start second and third instances, they join the first server and start merging logs. If you were to kill the first instance, a new leader is nominated. This design allows to seamless add/remove nodes that share logs (a process that historically would have taken a central log aggregator). A super quick demo: npx teemux -- curl -N https://ift.tt/TWFcdtZ
