Does Mercury Agent run locally?

Yes. Mercury Agent runs entirely on your machine. Mercury Cloud is the control plane — it lets you chat, approve tool calls, sync memory, and monitor your agent from any browser.

How do I connect my agent to Mercury Cloud?

Run `mercury cloud connect` in your terminal. A browser window opens with a pairing code — sign in or register, and your agent is linked.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes 1 connected agent, live chat, approvals, and shared memory at $0/month. Upgrade to Pro ($19/mo) for 5 agents or Extended ($49/mo) for 20 agents.

Can I use my own LLM provider?

Yes. Mercury Cloud routes LLM calls through a curated model gateway with per-chat provider and model selection. You can switch providers on the fly.

Control surface

Built for the moment after the demo.

Most AI tools stop at a chat box. Mercury Cloud is for the operational layer around Mercury Agent: permissions, model switches, memory, usage, pairing, and live status.

A real chat surface for Mercury Agent

Talk to Mercury Agent through the dashboard with streaming output, permission cards, slash-command choices, and a composer built for daily use.

Live chat streams from the local runtimeCommand cards for choices and approvalsPer-thread model overrides

Model routing without leaving the thread

Pick a provider and model per conversation. Keep local defaults untouched while experimenting with cloud-managed and configured providers.

Memory that stays useful

Inspect recent memory, shared learning, and recall behavior from the same place you manage Mercury sessions.

Mercury workspace visibility

See connected Mercury sessions, live state, background work, and collaborative knowledge signals without watching multiple terminals.

Usage you can reason about

Cloud usage syncs from the local CLI into daily, monthly, and per-model quota views so costs do not become invisible.

Human approval remains central

Risky actions still ask for consent. Mercury Cloud turns terminal prompts into clear web cards with durable choices.

How it works

Your terminal stays local. The cockpit goes everywhere.

Mercury Cloud does not replace the local runtime. It gives it a secure cloud surface for pairing, chat, controls, usage, and memory workflows.

$ mercury agent local

Install the local runtime

Mercury Agent stays on your machine with access to your workspace, tools, memories, and configured providers.

Pair Mercury to Cloud

Run one pairing command, sign in, and Mercury Agent appears in the dashboard with a live websocket connection.

Operate from the cockpit

Chat, approve actions, switch models, inspect usage, and open command flows like memory management from the web UI.

Let context compound

Use memory and collaborative knowledge workflows to keep useful project context available across sessions.

Why teams keep it open

Less friction between intent and execution.

The dashboard is designed for people who want to stay close to the work: see what Mercury is doing, intervene when needed, and keep context flowing.

No theater

Live state over fake dashboards

The UI is anchored to the running Mercury Agent: online status, stream events, command choices, provider changes, and permission resolution.

Low friction

Controls where your hands already are

Chat, commands, approvals, and model selection sit in the same workspace, not scattered through settings pages.

Developer-owned

Cloud without surrendering runtime control

Mercury Agent remains yours. Mercury Cloud adds visibility and managed access without taking over the runtime.
