AVP

AVP is an open-source version-control server from Murmell built for coding agents: agents open tasks instead of branches, each landing is tested against the exact head of main before it counts, and every landing is still mirrored to Git as a normal commit.

Why it matters

For teams running many coding agents on one repo, where pull requests, CI queues and merge conflicts become the bottleneck. AVP keeps main green and replays overlapping changes instead of handing conflicts to a person.

Highlights

• Agents use MCP tools (avp_open, avp_land): each task gets its own folder at the head of the line, and a proof (typecheck plus related tests) must pass before it lands.
• If main moved, the task is replayed on the new head and proven again; real overlaps go back to the agent as conflict markers.
• The full test suite runs once per batch of landings; staging can follow a green suite and production is an explicit 'avp promote production'.
• Every landing is mirrored to main as a Git commit with its goal, author, agent and proof, and 'avp why file:line' shows which task wrote a line.
• Murmell reports CI runs for pull requests fell from 104 a day to 4 and median time to main from 19 to 2.9 minutes on its own repo, and 0 red main states in its 8-agent benchmark versus 14 of 104 for Git.unverified

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Worth knowing: Very new (repo created Oct 24, 2026); the README says it is new and lists known defects in docs/RUNS.md. A proof isn't the whole suite, so a break the related tests miss is caught later by the batch run. With one agent on a small repo it saves nothing. AGPL-3.0 has obligations if you offer a modified version as a network service.
