Wolo

Wolo is a minimal Python AI agent CLI tool, similar to Claude Code or opencode. It supports multiple OpenAI-compatible LLM backends and provides a complete toolset for coding tasks.

Features

  • Multi-Model Support: Works with any OpenAI-compatible API (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, etc.)
  • Rich Tool System: Built-in tools for shell commands, file operations, search, and more
  • Session Management: Persistent sessions with resume capability
  • MCP Integration: Extend capabilities via Model Context Protocol
  • Token Compaction: Automatic context management for long sessions
  • Path Safety: Configurable write protection for sensitive directories

Installation

One-Click Installation (Recommended)

Linux / macOS:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lzjever/wolo/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lzjever/wolo/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Universal (Python):

python3 -c "$(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lzjever/wolo/main/scripts/install.py)"

Installation Methods

The installer supports multiple methods:

  • auto (default): Automatically selects the best method (uv if available, otherwise pip)
  • uv: Uses the uv package manager for faster installation
  • pip: Standard pip installation
  • source: Installs from git source
# Specify installation method
WOLO_INSTALL_METHOD=uv bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lzjever/wolo/main/scripts/install.sh)

# Or using the Python installer
python3 <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lzjever/wolo/main/scripts/install.py) --method uv

Manual Installation

From PyPI:

# Using uv (recommended)
uv pip install mbos-wolo

# Or using pip
pip install mbos-wolo

From Source:

git clone https://github.com/lzjever/wolo.git
cd wolo

# Using uv
uv sync

# Or using pip
pip install -e .

Quick Start

# Execute a single task
wolo "fix the bug in main.py"

# Pipe context with prompt
git diff | wolo "write commit message"

# Start interactive session
wolo chat

# Resume a session
wolo -r <session-id>

# Wild mode (bypass safety checks/restrictions)
wolo --wild "run unrestricted task"

Configuration

Wolo can be configured via environment variables or config file.

Environment Variables (Recommended for Production):

export WOLO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
# or

Config File (Development):

wolo config init

The config file is stored at ~/.wolo/config.yaml:

endpoints:
  - name: default
    model: gpt-4
    api_base: https://api.openai.com/v1
    api_key: your-api-key

# Optional: Enable lexilux client for better compatibility
use_lexilux_client: true

# Optional: MCP server configuration
mcp:
  enabled: true
  servers:
    my-server:
      command: npx
      args: ["-y", "@my/mcp-server"]

Priority: Environment variables take precedence over config file (WOLO_API_KEY > config file).
