# CLI Tools

Anthropic's agentic coding CLI

Anthropic's agentic CLI coding tool that delegates complex tasks to Claude directly from the terminal. Understands entire codebases via automatic context gathering, edits multiple files, runs shell commands, and manages Git workflows autonomously. Supports CLAUDE.md for persistent project instructions, integrates with VS Code and JetBrains, and uses Claude Opus/Sonnet with extended thinking for complex architectural decisions. Built for terminal-first developers.

Community Grok terminal agent for xAI-powered coding and command-line workflows

Grok CLI is a community command-line interface for using xAI/Grok models from a terminal workflow. It fits developers who want a lightweight, scriptable Grok surface for coding help, command-line experiments, and local agent-style interactions without waiting for a heavier IDE integration. For aicoolies, it belongs in the fast-growing AI CLI agents lane beside Grok Build, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Qwen Code.

Self-hosted proxy API for routing AI CLI accounts into OpenAI-compatible endpoints

CLIProxyAPI is an open-source Go proxy server that wraps Gemini CLI, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Grok Build, and related CLI account flows behind OpenAI/Gemini/Claude-compatible API endpoints. Use it carefully: it can touch OAuth sessions, auth files, logs, and provider account policies, so production use needs credential and ToS review.

Open-source, plugin-based agent harness from DeepSeek

DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source, MIT-licensed agent harness from DeepSeek with a web UI, desktop app, CLI and SDK, in developer preview. It is built on a plugin architecture and works with a DeepSeek API key or other compatible model providers. Session-log upload to the DeepSeek API is on by default in the master branch as of 30 Sep 2026 and can be turned off.

Terminal AI coding agent powered by Meta Muse Spark models

Muse Code is Meta autonomous terminal coding agent powered by the Muse Spark model family. Designed for multi-agentic software engineering, it inspects repositories, plans architectural changes with approval gating, executes edits across multiple files, and maintains crash-resilient session event logs.

Cut Claude Code token costs by up to 50% with a local plugin that never uploads your code.

WOZCODE is a Claude Code plugin that reduces token consumption by 25–55% using smarter context reads, batched file edits, AST truncation, and Haiku subagents. It installs in seconds with two CLI commands, runs entirely locally with no code upload, and requires no account sign-up. Developers report finishing the same tasks in fewer tokens without changing their existing editor or workflow.

Turn any MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or GraphQL endpoint into a CLI — at runtime, with zero codegen.

mcp2cli turns MCP servers, OpenAPI specs, and GraphQL endpoints into standard CLIs at runtime — no codegen, no schema bloat. Tools and arguments load only when requested via --list and --help flags, cutting up to 96–99% of the tokens that native MCP integrations waste on schema preloading. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that can call shell commands, and ships with OAuth, stdio/HTTP/SSE transports, and a bake mode for reusable connections.
