About Nanocoder
Nanocoder is a command-line coding agent built by a community collective rather than a company. You bring your own model, either one running locally or a hosted provider, and the agent works on code that stays on your machine.
The repository includes a Homebrew formula, a VS Code plugin, MCP configuration examples and benchmarks. It suits developers who want an open alternative to commercial terminal agents and prefer to control which model they use.
