nab vs agent-bridge
nab: nab is a single Rust binary that fetches any URL as clean markdown using your real browser cookies, transcribes audio and video on-device, and watches URLs for changes. It runs as a CLI, an MCP server and a Claude Code plugin with no cloud backend.; agent-bridge: AgentBridge is a local bridge for bidirectional communication between Claude Code and Codex inside the same working session. A foreground MCP process talks to Claude Code, while a persistent background daemon owns the Codex app-server proxy.
