mycode-cli
Interactive coding agent CLI and web server, built on mycode-sdk.
Quick Start
Requires Python 3.12+. Install via uv:
uv tool install mycode-cli
Set a provider API key, then start:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
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"

Run /model in the TUI to see available models.
Configuration
A config file is optional — API keys from the environment are usually enough. Create ~/.mycode/config.json (global) or .mycode/config.json in a project to customize further.
Expose additional models on an existing provider, or register a custom endpoint such as a private or regional deployment:
{
"providers": {
"openrouter": {
"models": {"deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro": {}}
},
"my-endpoint": {
"type": "openai_chat",
"base_url": "https://example.com/v1",
"api_key": "${MY_API_KEY}",
"models": {"my-model": {}}
}
}
}
A providers key matching a built-in provider id overrides it; other names are custom providers and must declare a type (one of the ids in the table above). api_key accepts a literal value or a ${ENV_VAR} reference. {} is enough for models covered by the bundled models.dev metadata; add fields only for models it doesn't list.
Built-in Moonshot, MiniMax, and Z.AI providers default to international endpoints. Override
base_urlfor China endpoints.
See docs/config.md for the full schema — permission levels, web providers, and resolution rules.
Skills and instructions
The CLI assembles the system prompt from instructions files and discovered skills.
AGENTS.mdfiles are injected as project instructions:~/.mycode/AGENTS.md(fallback~/.agents/AGENTS.md), then everyAGENTS.mdfrom the project root down to the current directory. Later files take precedence.- Skills are directories containing a
SKILL.md. Scan roots, lowest to highest priority:~/.agents/skills/,~/.mycode/skills/, then.agents/skills/and.mycode/skills/from the project root down to the current directory. Later roots override earlier ones by skill name.SKILL.mdneeds YAML frontmatter withnameanddescription. - A standalone
/<skill-name>token in a message loads the matching skill, e.g.Use /fastapi to review this route. Names matching built-in slash commands are reserved.
Terminal UI
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send the message (steer while a reply runs); with a completion menu open, accept it |
| Ctrl+Q | Queue the message for after the reply; otherwise send it |
| Alt+Up | Take back pending steers and queued messages into the input |
| Esc then Enter, or Alt+Enter | Insert a newline |
| Esc | Take back pending messages and interrupt the reply; close a selection list |
| Ctrl+C | Take back pending messages and interrupt the reply; otherwise clear the input |
| Ctrl+D | Exit (empty input only) |
| Ctrl+L | Clear the screen |
| Up / Down | Move between lines; on the first or last line, browse input history |
While a reply runs, Enter steers it: the model sees the message at its next step, after the running tools finish. Ctrl+Q queues the message instead; queued messages are sent together as the next turn when the reply finishes. Pending messages show above the input. Commands are unavailable until the reply ends.
@path attaches a file to the message: text files as snapshots, images and PDFs as image or document input. Pasted file paths become @path references.
Slash commands: /new (alias /clear) /resume /rewind /model /effort /compact /quit (alias /exit). exit and quit also exit.
