SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transform Claude Code into a persistent, self-directing agent system using only native features and MCP servers to replace standalone frameworks such as Hermes or AutoGPT.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent memory across sessions using Claude's memory system and MCP storage
  • Scheduled operations (crons) for continuous automation
  • Dispatch / remote agents to handle event-driven workflows
  • Computer use for browser automation and desktop interactions
  • Task queue for robust, long-running workflows

Quick Start

Install the ECC harness, configure MCP servers, and begin creating autonomous agent workflows with memory, scheduling, and computer-use capabilities.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an autonomous agent with Claude Code that runs continuously?

You can build a self-running Claude agent by configuring a YAML frontmatter architecture with memory, crons, and dispatch components. This setup enables continuous operation, scheduled tasks, and memory-driven task queuing across multiple workflows.

Can I use Claude Code for scheduled tasks and event-driven workflows?

Yes, Claude Code can handle scheduled tasks and event-driven workflows by configuring cron operations and dispatch components. This enables continuous automation and remote agent dispatch for robust, long-running task queues.

Does the autonomous Claude agent work with MCP servers for memory and browser automation?

Yes, the autonomous Claude agent integrates with MCP servers to provide persistent memory storage across sessions and computer use capabilities. This enables browser automation, desktop interactions, and continuous memory-driven task queuing.

What is the best way to replace AutoGPT with native Claude features?

The best way to replace standalone frameworks like AutoGPT is by configuring a Claude Code harness with native memory, crons, and dispatch components via MCP servers. This creates a persistent, self-directing agent system without external frameworks.

How to configure Claude Code for persistent memory across multiple sessions?

You configure persistent memory by integrating Claude's native memory system with MCP storage servers. This setup allows the autonomous agent to retain context and manage memory-driven task queues across multiple workflows and continuous sessions.

Do I need an MCP server to run a self-running Claude agent?

Yes, an MCP server integration is required to enable persistent memory, dispatch, and computer-use capabilities for the autonomous agent. The architecture relies on these server connections to replace standalone automation frameworks.
