mycode
There are many coding agents, but this one is mine.
A minimal coding agent.
- Minimal：agent core code lines < 5k, total < 10k (backend).
- Multiple provider support and robust message replay.
- 4 built-in tools (
read,write,edit,bash), expanded via skills. - Mobile-friendly web UI.
- Native image and pdf input support.
Quick Start
Requires Python 3.12+. Install via uv:
uv tool install mycode-cli
Interactive terminal UI:
mycode
Web UI (default at http://localhost:8000):
mycode web [--port <port>] [--hostname <hostname>]
Single message, non-interactive:
mycode run "explain how the session store works"
API keys are discovered automatically from environment variables (see Providers).
Providers
| Provider | id | Env var |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | anthropic |
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
| OpenAI | openai |
OPENAI_API_KEY |
| Google Gemini | google |
GEMINI_API_KEY |
| Moonshot | moonshotai |
MOONSHOT_API_KEY |
| MiniMax | minimax |
MINIMAX_API_KEY |
| DeepSeek | deepseek |
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY |
| Z.AI | zai |
ZAI_API_KEY |
| OpenRouter | openrouter |
OPENROUTER_API_KEY |
| xAI | xai |
XAI_API_KEY |
| OpenAI-compatible | openai_chat |

Run /model in tui to see the available models.
Configuration
A config file is optional — API keys from the environment are usually sufficient.
Create ~/.mycode/config.json (global) or .mycode/config.json under the current project to:
- set a default provider, model, and reasoning effort
- expose additional models on an existing provider (e.g. OpenRouter's catalog)
- register a custom endpoint, such as a private or regional deployment
{
"default": {
"provider": "anthropic",
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
"reasoning_effort": "medium"
},
"providers": {
"openrouter": {
"models": {
"deepseek/deepseek-v3.2": {},
"xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro": {}
}
},
"zhipu-coding-plan": {
"type": "zai",
"base_url": "https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding/paas/v4",
"api_key": "${ZHIPU_API_KEY}"
},
"custom-provider": {
"type": "openai_chat",
"base_url": "https://custom-endpoint.com/v1",
"api_key": "${CUSTOM_API_KEY}",
"models": {
"custom-model": {
"context_window": 128000,
"max_output_tokens": 16384,
"supports_reasoning": true,
"supports_image_input": false
}
}
}
}
}
- To override a built-in provider, reuse its id as the key — no
typeneeded. Custom providers must declare atype— one of the built-in protocols. reasoning_effortcontrols extended thinking for supported models:auto(default) ·none·low·medium·high·xhigh.- API keys in config accept
${ENV_VAR}references. - Model metadata is bundled from models.dev —
{}is enough for most models. Provide explicit fields only for models not listed there.
Built-in Moonshot, MiniMax, and Z.AI providers default to international endpoints. Override
base_urlfor China endpoints.
CLI Reference
mycode start interactive session (new)
mycode --continue resume the most recent session
mycode --session <id> resume a specific session
mycode run "..." send one message, non-interactive
mycode web start web server (default port 8000)
mycode web --dev API only, no static files
mycode session list list saved sessions
Interactive slash commands: /new /resume /rewind /provider /model /effort /clear /q
Development
The web/ UI is a git submodule from legibet/mycode-web; --recurse-submodules fetches it.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/legibet/mycode.git && cd mycode
uv sync --dev
uv run mycode
Web development (backend + Vite dev server):
uv run mycode web --dev
pnpm --dir web install && pnpm --dir web dev
Or start both together:
just dev
Other useful shortcuts: just check · just test · just fmt
Build distributable artifacts:
uv build --package mycode-sdk
uv build --package mycode-cli
mycode-sdk
Agent core of mycode as a lightweight Python SDK for building custom agents. Install via: uv add mycode-sdk
from mycode import Agent, read_tool
agent = Agent(
model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
api_key="...",
tools=[read_tool],
)
result = agent.run("Read pyproject.toml and tell me the project name.")
print(result.text)
See mycode/README.md for details.
