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.
