dsh-baton

dsh-baton is an MCP connector that hands coding tasks from Claude Code or Codex to a local DeepSeek coding agent for developers and vibe coders.

What it is good for

  • Handing large coding jobs to a cheaper model to save usage
  • Getting a second agent to write code and run tests
  • Keeping track of a long coding run without checking on it
  • Reducing the cost of big software builds in Claude Code
