View guide →gptme is a terminal AI agent with shell, files, browser, vision, and subagents — provider-agnostic
gptme is an open-source dev tools project by gptme (gptme/gptme on GitHub). It has 4,443 GitHub stars and 449 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Pick a cloud provider key, a subscription login, or a local Ollama/OpenAI-compatible server.
Install with pipx (adding extras like [tui] if you want the richer terminal UI).
Set your provider credentials as documented, or point gptme at your local model server.
Launch gptme in a project directory and give it a real task — it will plan, run tools, and verify results.
Shell, IPython, file editing/patching, browser, vision, screenshots, GitHub, tmux, and subagents without extra setup.
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, subscription logins, or fully local models.
A lessons system encodes corrections so mistakes are not repeated; Markdown memory is shared across harnesses (Claude Code, Codex).
Use any MCP server from gptme, and expose gptme itself as an MCP server (gptme-mcp-server).
ACP integration for Zed/JetBrains, plus a web UI and REST server, beyond the terminal.
Works over ssh, inside tmux, in CI, and as a persistent autonomous agent using the agent template.
Clone the project and enter its directory (most users install with pipx, next step).
git clone https://github.com/gptme/gptme.git
cd gptmeInstall gptme (add extras such as [tui] for the terminal UI if desired).
pipx install gptmeSet your provider key (or start a local Ollama server) and launch gptme in a project folder.
gptmeAn independent open-source community around the gptme project (gptme.org), with Erik Bjäreholt as its creator.
Yes, MIT-licensed. Model costs depend on your provider — local models via Ollama are free to run.
Only for cloud providers; gptme also works with subscription logins (ChatGPT, SuperGrok) or fully local models.
gptme is provider-agnostic and terminal-general — not just coding: it adds browsing, vision, computer use, lessons, and cross-harness memory, and can itself run as an MCP/ACP server.
Run `pipx install gptme`, configure a provider (or local model), and start `gptme` in your project directory.
