CodeFire is the chat-first desktop workbench for AI coding agents. Wiki memory, a hybrid context engine, multi-agent pipelines, and a rail of dockable tools — one place for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi Code, and the CodeFire Agent to live, work, and hand off.
A chat-first shell for the agentic era. Your agent conversation stays front and center while a rail of dockable tools — Tasks, Workflows, Browser, Wiki, Notes, Git, Sessions, Files, Terminal, Activity, Images, Transcripts — opens beside it or tears off into floating windows. Five CLIs, one workbench, shared memory.
Compose multi-step, multi-agent pipelines and let the orchestrator run them: plan with one agent, implement with another, verify with a third. Each step routes to the CLI best suited for it — with hard enforcement, scoped auto-approval, and full run history.
Hand a running conversation from one CLI to another — context, model selection, and task state carry over. A live agent census shows every running agent across your projects, so nothing works in the dark.
Hybrid vector + keyword search across functions, classes, blocks, docs, and git commits — exposed to your agent as context_search. Stale results never block; the index re-verifies in the background after sessions and on a scheduler.
The cross-project Planner is your morning dashboard. See what's in flight everywhere, pull in tasks from email and mobile capture, and ask the built-in CodeFire Agent what changed today across all your repos.
Launch a real Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi Code, or CodeFire Agent session against the open project — supervised, streamed, and scoped to the folder you chose. Set permissions per session, share context across agents, and hand work off without leaving the app.
Architecture decisions, schema notes, runbooks, glossaries, agent guides — written once and read by every future session. CodeFire seeds the structure from your repo, agents author through MCP, and freshness metadata flags pages that drift.
CodeFire spawns the actual CLI binaries you'd run in your terminal — no wrappers, no scraping. Tool calls, shell commands, and assistant turns stream into the chat panel as they happen, ready for you to approve, pause, or pivot.
Every CodeFire surface — wiki, tasks, notes, sessions, context search, browser, terminal, images, workflows, git, agent handoffs — is exposed to your CLI through a single MCP server. Agents don't just read your codebase; they update the project's shared brain.
CodeFire Capture mirrors your agent chat to your phone. Watch runs stream live, capture tasks and ideas from anywhere, and steer an in-flight agent from the couch — the desktop stays the source of truth.
CodeFire isn't only a memory layer — it's a desktop dev environment for the agentic era. The things you'd normally tab between, in one window your agents can also reach.
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi Code, and the built-in CodeFire Agent run as first-class in-app agent chats with live handoffs between them. Any other MCP-aware CLI still gets full access to the 126-tool MCP server.
Any other MCP-aware agent connects through the same 126-tool MCP server — setup guide.
Free and MIT licensed. Signed, notarized builds straight from GitHub Releases — updates are checked there too, never silently installed.
Grab the latest release for your platform. macOS builds are signed and notarized — no Gatekeeper hoops. Apple Silicon only; Linux ships x86_64 and arm64.
Full install walkthrough in the getting started guide.
One-click MCP install for any supported CLI — these deep links open CodeFire and wire up your config automatically.
Yes. CodeFire is MIT licensed and free to download. There is no telemetry — your projects, tasks, and wiki live in a local SQLite database on your machine.
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi Code, and the built-in CodeFire Agent run as first-class in-app agent chats with live handoffs between them. Any other MCP-aware CLI can connect through the bundled 126-tool MCP server.
The macOS build is Apple Silicon (arm64) only. On Linux, both x86_64 and arm64 are supported via AppImage and .deb packages.
A Windows build is in the works. and we will email you the moment it ships.
No. CodeFire collects zero telemetry. Everything is local-first; team cloud sync is optional and off by default.
CodeFire bundles an MCP server that exposes 126 tools — context search, wiki, tasks, notes, sessions, browser automation, terminal, images, workflows, git, and agent handoffs — to any MCP-aware coding agent.
