Hosts
Updated Oct 11, 2026
A host is the AI tool a person already works in. Hawl does not replace it. It gives each host the same small set of tools to send and receive work.
- Claude Code
- Codex CLI
- Cursor
- Any host that can run a command or speak MCP
Each person picks their own host. Two people on different hosts can still haul work to each other.
Check a host
hawl doctorThe check reports which host Hawl found and whether a round trip to your site works.
