Editor's note
Gptme is an open-source, provider-agnostic AI agent CLI written in Python that runs in any terminal environment, including SSH sessions, tmux, headless servers, and CI pipelines. It connects to Claude (via the Anthropic API, including Claude 3.7 Sonnet) as one of several supported backends alongside OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and local models via llama.cpp. The agent ships with a broad set of built-in tools: shell execution, Python REPL, file read/write, a morph tool for fast targeted edits, web browsing, vision, tmux control, a form tool, background jobs, and auto-commit for Git workflows. It also supports MCP integration for dynamic tool discovery and loading. A plugin system added in v0.30 allows community extensions such as Twitter, Discord, and email tools via the gptme-contrib repository. A companion agent-template project enables persistent autonomous agents, demonstrated by an experimental agent called Bob that monitors GitHub and runs unsupervised loops. Developers, sysadmins, and researchers who want a self-hosted, locally controlled coding and knowledge-work agent without being locked into a single provider or interface are the primary audience.
