One agent. Every model. Zero limits.
The AI coding agent that runs anywhere — free locally with Ollama, or supercharged by 7 cloud APIs
Not a toy. Not a wrapper. A full-featured coding agent with everything you need.
Connected MCP servers are discovered on demand instead of injecting every tool schema into every request — up to 94% fewer tool-schema tokens. Usage-ranked, automatic, zero config. The per-turn cost stays flat no matter how many MCP tools you connect.
Ollama, Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Qwen — switch with one command. Multi-model consensus mode for critical decisions.
When a provider is down, rate-limited, or erroring, your turn doesn't fail — Kodiqa automatically retries on the next provider and continues right where it was. Configure the order with /failover. No competitor has this.
Turn any MCP server (local, remote, or OAuth), OpenAPI spec, or GraphQL endpoint into tools at runtime — no codegen. Large tool sets are loaded lazily (~94% fewer tokens). Plus an editor/IDE bridge (kodiqa --serve) for VS Code / Zed / Neovim.
Two-phase workflow: AI explores and plans (read-only), you approve or revise, then it implements. Full control over every change.
File ops, search, git, web, memory, clipboard, image/PDF reading, diff patching — with 3 permission modes and batch edit review.
Connect any MCP server for custom tools. Sub-agents for background tasks. Custom plugin system for your own extensions.
Embed your codebase with /embed, then search semantically with /rag. SQLite-backed vector store. Works with Ollama or OpenAI embeddings.
Dark, Light, Dracula, Monokai, Nord. Five AI personas: security expert, code reviewer, teacher, architect, debugger.
Real terminal session — no magic, no editing.
⚡ Lazy MCP tools — connect an MCP server, and its tools are discovered on demand instead of taxing every turn.
🔌 Editor / IDE bridge — kodiqa --serve exposes a local HTTP API your editor extension can call.
Run free locally or use any cloud API. Switch models in one command.
$ pip install kodiqa
$ kodiqa
Python 3.9+ · Works on macOS & Linux · No API key required for local models
The only agent that's truly free, truly open, and truly portable.
