# Ruflo

> Ruflo (renamed from Claude Flow) is an add-on layer around Claude Code and Codex: Claude Code plugins, an npx CLI and an MCP server that add many specialised agents, swarm coordination and memory. The Claude Code plugin route needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or later, so you need that agent and its plan or an API key. The npx route is documented for all platforms including native Windows. MIT licence. Claims in the README about agent counts and performance are the author's own. It is a free tool and does not replace a paid product we list.
