This actually reminds me of a tool I was noodling around with a while back. Before subagents became a built-in feature in Claude, I was similarly inspired by the Meeseeks archetype and built an MCP server that spun up a parallel mesh network of specialized Claude instances that terminated as soon as their subtask was finished.

Unfortunately, much like the episode where they're introduced, if they didn't accomplish their task or got stuck things would also get chaotic (in terms of token burn and memory usage).

Funny to see the same idea pop up again.
