AI product Open source
OpenClaude is an open-source, terminal-first coding-agent CLI for cloud and local model providers. It connects to OpenAI-compatible APIs, Gemini, GitHub Models, Codex, Ollama, Atomic Chat, and other supported backends, providing prompts, streaming output, Bash and file tools, grep, glob, agents, tasks, MCP, slash commands, web search and fetch, and image inputs for compatible providers.
The CLI supports guided provider setup with saved profiles, conversation continuation and forking, detached local background sessions, model-specific agent routing, repository maps based on PageRank-ranked code structure, and a headless bidirectional-streaming gRPC server for integrations, CI/CD pipelines, and custom interfaces. A bundled VS Code extension provides launch integration, in-editor chat, provider-aware controls, and theme support.
OpenClaude runs on Node.js 22 or newer, is distributed through npm and an Arch Linux AUR package, and can use local inference or remote APIs. Its repository is licensed MIT for the project's modifications and states that it is an independent community project derived from and substantially modified from the Claude Code codebase, without Anthropic affiliation.
