[![CI](https://github.com/MendCode/MendCode/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/MendCode/MendCode/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![Release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/MendCode/MendCode?include_prereleases&sort=semver)](https://github.com/MendCode/MendCode/releases) [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](LICENSE)

A coding agent for the terminal. One daemon keeps your sessions; any number of terminals attach to them. It runs its own native engine with the models you connect, or drives Claude Code, Codex, ACP agents and pi behind the same screen. It indexes your code into a graph so the model reads less, packs long conversations instead of forgetting them, and reviews your pull requests.

Install

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/MendCode/MendCode/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell 5.1 or newer):

irm https://github.com/MendCode/MendCode/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Then run `mendcode`. The first launch walks you through [/setup](docs/setup.md) (models, permissions) and [/connect](docs/connect.md) (credentials). Claude Code, Codex and the other external engines need their own install and login.

The binary goes to `~/.local/bin/mendcode` (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\mendcode` on Windows). The installer checks the binary's SHA256 and, when [cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/cosign/system_config/installation/) is installed, the signature of the release workflow; `MENDCODE_REQUIRE_SIGNATURE=1` refuses to install without that signature. Download and read the script first if you prefer: it is attached to every [release](https://github.com/MendCode/MendCode/releases).
