An agentic AI coding assistant for the terminal. Multi-provider by design — bring your own key, or run entirely locally against Ollama.
go install github.com/tolle-ai/tollecode/cmd/tollecode@latest
TolleCode is not tied to one vendor. Every provider implements the same
ai.Provider interface (internal/ai/types.go):
| Provider | Notes |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | Claude models |
| OpenAI | GPT models, plus any OpenAI-compatible endpoint |
| Ollama | Local models — no API key, nothing leaves your machine |

tollecode launch ollama --model qwen2.5-coder # fully localtollecode # interactive REPL in the current directory
tollecode --task "add tests" # one-shot, non-interactive
tollecode sessions list # browse past sessions
tollecode web # serve the browser UI
tollecode serve # run as an HTTP/WebSocket APItollecode web serves a browser UI. It binds locally by default, but if you put it
behind nginx on a public host, turn on the access key first — otherwise anyone
who can reach the port can drive an agent on your machine.
tollecode web # prints the access key when one is requiredGenerate or rotate the key from Settings → Security. Rotating immediately
invalidates every browser still holding the old key. The key is stored on your
machine, is compared in constant time, and grants expire after 30 days
(internal/liteaccess). This is your gate, not ours — there is no phone-home.
git clone https://github.com/tolle-ai/tollecode
cd tollecode
go build ./cmd/tollecode
go test ./...Requires the Go version in go.mod.
Note on tollecode web in source builds: the browser UI is compiled in via
go:embed from internal/webmode/dist/browser, which ships a placeholder here.
Source builds serve no UI until a build is staged there; the released binaries
include it. The CLI, serve, and every provider work normally either way.
The agent loop, tool execution, provider adapters, session storage, MCP and LSP integration, the local web server, and the CLI itself.
Not included: the hosted cloud service and the self-hosted team server are separate products and are not open source. The CLI does not depend on either — it is fully functional standalone with your own provider keys.
