About voyager-agent

voyager-agent is a general-purpose agent that composes Voyager sensing modules, gathering observations from repositories, hosts, or web pages and linking them into an evidence graph. Its reasoning model is replaceable, with a rule-based default that needs no LLM; sensing is read-only and remediation is never applied.

Key features

  1. 01Activate senses according to a goal
  2. 02Collect observations in parallel and link evidence
  3. 03Choose follow-up probes by information gain
  4. 04Use a rule-based or replaceable model
  5. 05Keep sensing read-only and remediation consent-gated

Use cases

  1. 01Inspect a repository and flag risks
  2. 02Audit exposure on an authorized host
  3. 03Observe a web page and summarize findings
  4. 04Combine observations into a mission conclusion

MCP support

It provides an MCP server with one tool, run_mission. A client supplies a goal and receives the full cognitive claim graph.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"dir-ai-voyager-agent": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@dir-ai/voyager-agent"

}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y @dir-ai/voyager-agent

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details

From the project README

@dir-ai/voyager-agent

The one universal Voyager. A thin, model-independent orchestrator that turns the modular Voyager senses — voyager-repo (code), voyager-net (hosts), and the cognitive contract that binds them — into a single agent. You name a goal; Voyager activates the senses it needs, runs a live mission, links the evidence into one graph, and concludes.

It is composition, not a monolith. The agent never absorbs the senses — it calls the published organs and adapts what they see into the shared CognitiveClaim substrate. The reasoning model is a swappable seam (Brain); a rule-based brain ships so it runs with no LLM at all.

Sensing is autonomous. Acting is not. Every sense here is read-only. Any remediation a mission surfaces is carried as a consent-gated, withheld action and is never applied by this orchestrator.

Install

npm i -g @dir-ai/voyager-agent

Use

# Orient in a repo and flag risk (voyager-repo)
voyager-agent mission "audit this project" --repo .

# Audit ONE host you own (voyager-net — fail-closed, needs --authorized)
voyager-agent mission "check my server's exposure" --host example.com --authorized

# Observe a live page (voyager-browser — read-only, static HTML)
voyager-agent mission "check my landing page" --url https://example.com

# All three senses in one mission; vet 10 dependencies; machine-readable
voyager-agent mission "full audit" --repo . --host example.com --authorized --url https://example.com --check-deps 10 --json

Senses fan out in parallel and are resilient: a sense that errors (or even throws) becomes a low-confidence, flagged observation — it never crashes the mission or discards a sibling sense's good result.

The mission then re-plans: it picks the single most informative next probe (by information gain) and executes it, bounded by maxRounds. How a probe is executed is an injectable dispatch seam (the model decides); the safe default only ever re-reads (deepens repo dependency-vetting) and never acts. A verify claim closes the mission so state().satisfied is meaningful.

Voyager — one agent, one entry.

As an MCP server

One tool, run_mission — describe a goal, get back the full claim graph.

voyager-agent mcp            # stdio
{
  "command": "voyager-agent",
  "args": ["mcp"]
}

As a library

import { runMission, DeterministicBrain, type Brain } from '@dir-ai/voyager-agent'

const { mission } = await runMission(
  'audit this repo and my host',
  { repoPath: '.', host: 'example.com', authorized: true /* your own host */ },
  Date.now(),
)

for (const claim of mission.allClaims()) console.log(claim.operation, claim.sense, claim.verdict)
console.log(mission.state().bestNextProbe)   // the most informative next step
console.log(mission.state().contradictions)  // where two senses disagree
Bring your own model

The Brain interface is the whole point — it's where an LLM plugs in without touching the senses, the memory, or the mission machinery. A ready-made LlmBrain ships: give it one model-agnostic complete() function and it plans and synthesizes through the model. Wire Claude, a local server, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — Voyager never depends on a specific SDK.

import { runMission, LlmBrain } from '@dir-ai/voyager-agent'

const brain = new LlmBrain({
  // Return the model's text for these messages — that's the whole dependency.
  async complete(messages) {
    const res = await myModel.chat(messages)   // Claude, local, OpenAI-compatible…
    return res.text
  },
})

await runMission('audit this repo and my host', { repoPath: '.', brain }, Date.now())

LlmBrain is fail-safe: if the model errors or returns unparseable output, it degrades to the built-in rule-based brain for that step — a bad completion can never take a mission down, only make it less clever once. You can also implement the Brain interface directly for full control.

                        ▼
              Brain.synthesize ─▶ conclusion

Each sense produces a CognitiveClaim; the MissionGraph links them — auto-detecting cross-sense contradictions, assembling the causal chain, and surfacing the single most informative next probe by information gain. A sense error becomes a low-confidence observe claim flagged with the unknown — never a false "all clear".

Safety

  • Read-only senses. Nothing is installed, executed, or mutated on your systems.
  • Fail-closed host audit. A host is only scanned with --authorized / authorized: true; single host only (no ranges/URLs), cloud-metadata blocked.
  • Consent-gated action. Remediation is described and withheld, surfaced as an unknown on the claim — this orchestrator never applies it.
  • Honest uncertainty. Confidence and strength are explicit; a sense error is a flagged unknown, not a clean verdict.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
