What it does
Edits across your project A signature map plus read, search and write tools, so changes land in the right files instead of a guess. Tools →
Runs your commands Build, test and lint from the session, with every write and command shown and approved first. Agent mode →
Plan, then act Explore and plan read-only, then execute the plan after consent. Modes →
Scrollable terminal Browse the conversation with the mouse wheel or scrollbar while the input and status footer stay pinned. Terminal controls →
Compact action steps Click to open thinking status, command output, and file diffs; edit summaries show added and removed line counts. Transcript steps →
Any provider, including local OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, OpenRouter and Ollama. Providers →
Learns your conventions AGENTS.md, rules, skills, commands and memory documents steer every request. Rules and skills →
Long sessions stay affordable Conversations compact before they outgrow the window, and --continue resumes where you stopped. Compaction →
Extensible Plugins, MCP servers and lifecycle hooks under the same approval rules. MCP → · Plugins →
Also a library Host the session runtime in your own .NET app. Build on Codai →

Common tasks

codai --mode plan "Review authentication and plan improvements" # read-only
codai --mode plan "Plan pagination for orders"         # a numbered plan
codai code --continue                                  # resume the session
codai code --provider ollama --model llama3.1          # a local model
codai --json --mode plan "Plan fixes for TODO comments" # JSON Lines for scripts

Inside a session, :help lists the commands and @src/Foo.cs attaches a file to one request. Every flag is documented in the CLI reference.

Extend with plugins or MCP servers

Plugins add tools and lifecycle hooks, MCP servers connect databases, APIs and cloud infrastructure, and hooks run commands around agent steps — all through the same approval rules as the built-in tools. Manage servers with codai config mcp and plugins with codai config plugins, or read the plugins and MCP guides.
