TachiBot MCP Documentation

Orchestrate multiple AI models like Tachikomas sharing knowledge. Make them debate, verify each other's work, and synthesize better solutions than any single model can produce.

What is TachiBot?

TachiBot is a Universal AI Orchestrator that coordinates multiple AI models (GPT-5.2, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Qwen, MiniMax, and more) into collaborative workflows. Instead of relying on a single model, you orchestrate collective intelligence—models brainstorm together, challenge assumptions, cross-verify facts, and combine insights.

Customizability by Design

Core Principle

TachiBot is built on a simple principle: you own the orchestration logic.

Instead of fixed tools, TachiBot provides composable building blocks so you can architect exactly the AI behavior you need. You're not locked into predefined workflows—you define your own.

Build AI Flows, No Boilerplate

Zero Boilerplate

Define multi-step AI pipelines without writing glue code.

Custom YAML/JSON workflows let you:

  • Chain multiple AI models into complex reasoning pipelines
  • Pass outputs between steps with variable interpolation (${step_name.output})
  • Control costs with per-workflow budgets and smart model routing
  • Optimize automatically with built-in caching and token compression
  • Mix and match models - use the best AI for each specific task

Where to Define Workflows

TachiBot auto-discovers workflows from:

  • workflows/ - Recommended default (plain folder)
  • .tachi/workflows/ - Alternative hidden config location

Create your workflow files in either location and TachiBot instantly recognizes them. No boilerplate, no complex setup.

Core Concept: Collective Intelligence

Like Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell sharing knowledge through synchronized thinking, TachiBot enables AI models to work as a swarm:

  • Diverse Perspectives - Each model brings different strengths (creative, logical, research-backed, technical)
  • Cross-Verification - Models verify each other's outputs to eliminate hallucinations
  • Debate & Refinement - Make models debate for 5, 10, or even 200 rounds to refine solutions
  • Synchronized Synthesis - Combine all insights into actionable, high-confidence recommendations

Key Features

35+ Composable Tools

Enable only the tools you need via tools.config.json. Each tool adds ~400-500 tokens, so you control your context usage:

  • Just think tool? ~400 tokens
  • All 35+ tools available — Claude Code loads them dynamically
  • Pick exactly what you need and adjust anytime

Multi-Model Workflows

Chain unlimited steps in YAML/JSON. Example: Brainstorm with GPT-5.2 → Research with Perplexity → Verify with Grok → Challenge with Challenger → Synthesize final answer.

Multi-Model Planner

Create verified implementation plans using a council of AI models. Grok searches for ground truth, Qwen analyzes code, Kimi K2.5 reasons step-by-step, GPT-5.2 critiques gaps, and Gemini scores quality. Plans come with confidence scores and checkpoint verification.

Proven Performance Benefits

Based on Anthropic research, the think tool alone delivers:

  • 54% improvement in complex reasoning tasks
  • Better adherence to detailed policies and guidelines
  • Enhanced consistency across multiple trials

TachiBot extends this with multi-model orchestration for even better results.

How It Works

TachiBot provides 35+ MCP tools you can mix and match:

  • Core Tools - think, focus, nextThought (no API keys needed)
  • AI Providers - Perplexity (3), Grok (6), OpenAI/GPT-5.2 (5), Gemini (4), OpenRouter/Qwen (4), MiniMax (2)
  • Workflow Tools - workflow, list_workflows, create_workflow, visualize_workflow, workflow_start, continue_workflow, workflow_status (7 tools)
  • Workflow Validators - validate_workflow, validate_workflow_file (2 tools)
  • YAML Workflows - verifier, scout, challenger, pingpong (not MCP tools, but workflow files)

You define workflows that chain these tools together. Each step can pass outputs to the next, run in parallel, or branch conditionally.

Latest Updates

Multi-Model Planner + 31 Prompt Techniques
  • Planner - Multi-model council creates verified implementation plans with confidence scores
  • Prompt Techniques - 31 research-backed patterns: first_principles, tree_of_thoughts, council_of_experts
  • New Models - Kimi K2.5 (agent swarm), MiniMax M2.5 (SWE-Bench 80.2%), Qwen3-235B
nextThought Enhanced
  • Context Aliases - Use "none", "recent", "all" instead of magic numbers
  • finalJudge - Auto-call a judge model when session completes
  • Context Distillation - Compress 8000+ tokens to ~500 (5x savings)
usage_stats Tool

Track tool usage across sessions with ASCII bar charts. See which models you use most, monitor costs, and optimize your workflow.

  • What - View/reset statistics per repo or globally
  • Why - Understand usage patterns, track costs, identify optimization opportunities
  • How - usage_stats({ action: "view" })

Why "TachiBot"?

Named in tribute to the Tachikomas from Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell — AI units that synchronize their individual experiences to the collective at the end of every mission. TachiBot does the same for LLM sessions: multiple models reason independently, then share context and build on each other's insights.

TachiBot is open-source (AGPL-3.0) and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Production I.G., Kodansha, or the Ghost in the Shell franchise.

Example: Multi-Model Council

The general-council workflow demonstrates TachiBot's orchestration power:

  1. Multi-Model Analysis - Grok, Perplexity, Qwen, and Kimi each analyze from their unique perspectives
  2. Pattern Extraction - Gemini extracts common patterns and unique insights
  3. Final Synthesis - GPT Pro synthesizes all perspectives into a comprehensive answer
