Coding Agents

AI agents that read, edit and run code for you in the terminal, a desktop app or the browser. Each page explains what the tool does, who it's for and how to set it up, checked against the official docs.

• Aider

  Aider

  Open-source AI pair programming in your terminal. It edits code in your local git repo and works with many LLMs (Claude, DeepSeek, OpenAI models and more).

• Anthropic

  Claude Code

  Anthropic's agentic coding tool. It reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, works with git and connects to MCP servers. It runs in the terminal, with VS Code/JetBrains extensions, a desktop app and a web version too.

• OpenAI

  Codex CLI

  OpenAI's open-source coding agent that runs locally in your terminal. It reads and edits your code, runs commands and connects to MCP servers. Codex also comes as an IDE extension (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), a desktop app and a cloud version. Apache-2.0.

• Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation)

  goose

  An open-source, general-purpose AI agent that runs on your machine as a desktop app (macOS, Linux, Windows), a CLI and an API. It isn't only for code: it also handles research, writing and automation. It supports 15+ model providers and connects to tools through MCP extensions. Originally from Block, now part of the Agentic AI Foundation. Apache-2.0.

• Anomaly

  OpenCode

  An open-source AI coding agent with a terminal UI, plus a desktop app and IDE support. It works with API keys from many LLM providers. It has a full-access build agent and a read-only plan agent you switch between with Tab. MIT licensed.

• OpenHands

  OpenHands

  An open-source platform for running coding agents. Its Agent Canvas app (labeled beta) is a self-hosted control center where you start agent conversations and set up automations (for example with Slack, GitHub or Linear). It runs the OpenHands agent by default and can also run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other ACP-compatible agents, locally, in Docker, on VMs or in OpenHands Cloud. MIT licensed.
