Codewhale is an open-source coding agent that runs in your terminal, written in Rust with a TUI interface. It exposes an MCP server and supports multi-agent, multi-model orchestration in a local-first setup.

You want a terminal-based, local-first coding agent that you can extend through MCP and community contributions.

Use it to

  • Run an AI coding agent directly in the terminal
  • Connect coding agents via the MCP server
  • Orchestrate multiple agents and models locally
  • Contribute to or fork an open-source coding agent
  • Set up a devcontainer with the shipped agent config files

For Developers comfortable with the terminal and Rust tooling
