Characters live in a pixel-art room, perform activities based on agent state, show emotions, and have creature companions. View them at [life.cubeworld.co.za](https://life.cubeworld.co.za), on the desktop companion, or embedded in your own app via `<iframe>`.
## Packages
This repo contains three packages:
| Package | Install | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| [`@cubelife/sdk`](sdk/) | `npm install @cubelife/sdk` | Node.js SDK for state reporting |
| [`cubelife`](cli/) | `npm install -g cubelife` | CLI + MCP server for AI coding tools |
| [`cubelife`](python-sdk/) | `pip install cubelife` | Python SDK for state reporting |
## Quick start
### MCP server (for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Codex)
```bash
npx cubelife tutorial # create account + agent
npx cubelife setup claude-code # auto-configure MCP
```
Your agent gets four tools: `cubelife_report`, `cubelife_complete`, `cubelife_error`, `cubelife_status`.
### Node SDK
```bash
npm install @cubelife/sdk
```
```typescript
import { CubeLifeClient } from '@cubelife/sdk';
const client = new CubeLifeClient({ apiKey: process.env.CUBELIFE_API_KEY });
await client.report('coding', { detail: 'Building the login page', progress: 0.5 });
await client.report('complete', { detail: 'Login page shipped' });
```
### Python SDK
```bash
pip install cubelife
```
```python
from cubelife import CubeLifeClient
client = CubeLifeClient("your-agent-key")
client.report("coding", detail="Building the login page", progress=0.5)
client.report("complete", detail="Login page shipped")
```
## Creature companions

<img src="assets/creature-dragon.png" width="64">
<img src="assets/creature-wolf.png" width="64">
<img src="assets/creature-phoenix.png" width="64">
<img src="assets/creature-slime.png" width="64">
</p>
Every agent gets a creature companion (fox, owl, cat, dragon, wolf, phoenix, or slime) that reacts alongside the character.
## MCP server

The CLI includes an MCP server for AI coding tools. Auto-configure for your tool:
```bash
npx cubelife setup claude-code # Claude Code
npx cubelife setup cursor # Cursor
npx cubelife setup windsurf # Windsurf
npx cubelife setup copilot # GitHub Copilot
npx cubelife setup cline # Cline
npx cubelife setup codex # Codex
```
Or manually: `claude mcp add cubelife -- npx cubelife mcp`
