Current Limitation
In Antigravity IDE I can connect to a remote server and use it for coding (remote development / SSH workflow). However, this capability is not available in the pure agentic surface (Antigravity 2.0 / Agent Manager). As a result, I can only use remote machines when working inside the full IDE, not when using the agent-first / multi-agent workflow that Antigravity 2.0 is designed for.
Requested Feature
Please add native support for connecting to remote servers (SSH / remote development environments) directly inside Antigravity 2.0 and the agentic agent surfaces. Agents should be able to:
- Open and operate on remote workspaces the same way they do on local folders
- Run terminal commands, edit files, and use tools on the remote machine
- Maintain the same Project / worktree / multi-agent orchestration experience that currently exists for local development
This would allow the full agentic workflow (parallel agents, scheduled tasks, artifacts, browser subagent, etc.) to work against remote servers instead of being limited to local machines or only the traditional IDE view.
Why This Matters
Many developers (including myself) rely on remote servers for real development work — higher compute, specific environments, team shared machines, cloud instances, etc. Right now the most powerful part of Antigravity (the agent-first 2.0 surface) cannot be used with those remote environments. Enabling remote connections in the agentic surface would bring Antigravity in line with tools like Cursor and make the agent-first experience fully usable for professional remote development workflows.
Suggested Implementation Direction
- Reuse or extend the existing remote development support already present in Antigravity IDE
- Allow users to add remote servers as Projects or workspaces inside Antigravity 2.0
- Ensure agents can authenticate, keep persistent connections, and operate with the same permission/security model used for local agents
Thank you for considering this. Remote server support in the agentic surface would significantly expand what we can do with Antigravity.
