Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CodeMeYo

What is CodeMeYo?

CodeMeYo is a free, open-source desktop application that acts as an autonomous coding agent. It writes, edits, runs, and debugs code on its own using multiple AI models including Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), and Grok (xAI). Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Is CodeMeYo free?

Yes, CodeMeYo is completely free and open source under the MIT License. There are no subscriptions, no paid tiers, and no usage limits on the application itself. You only need your own API keys for the AI providers you want to use.

What AI models does CodeMeYo support?

CodeMeYo supports Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), and Grok (xAI). You can switch between models, use them in round-robin mode, set up fallback chains, or use Deep Think mode for multi-LLM consensus on critical decisions.

What platforms does CodeMeYo run on?

CodeMeYo runs on Windows (10 or later, .msi and .exe installers), macOS (11 Big Sur or later, .dmg), and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 36+, available as .AppImage, .deb, and .rpm).

How is CodeMeYo different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Unlike chatbots that suggest code snippets, CodeMeYo is an autonomous agent that reads your entire project, writes real code in your files, runs commands, debugs errors, runs tests, and commits changes. It works locally on your machine with 27 built-in tools.

Is my code sent to the cloud?

CodeMeYo runs 100% locally on your machine. Your project files never leave your computer. The only network calls are to the AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI) when you send a prompt. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no data collection.

Do I need my own API keys?

Yes, you need API keys from the AI providers you want to use (Anthropic for Claude, OpenAI for GPT, xAI for Grok). Your keys are stored securely in your operating system's native keychain, never in plain text files.

What are the 4 Agent Modes?

CodeMeYo offers 4 agent modes: Single (use one model), Round-Robin (rotate between models), Fallback (try the next model if one fails), and Deep Think (multi-LLM consensus where multiple models collaborate on critical decisions).

What is MCP Server Integration?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you extend CodeMeYo with external tools and services. CodeMeYo comes with 12 pre-configured MCP servers including Jira, Docker, MongoDB, Redis, Discord, Notion, Trello, AWS S3, and Sentry.

Can CodeMeYo work with any programming language?

Yes, CodeMeYo works with any programming language or framework. The AI models can read and write code in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, and more. It understands project structures for React, Vue, Next.js, Django, Rails, and many others.

What is Browser Automation in CodeMeYo?

CodeMeYo can control browsers via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and browser extensions. This allows the agent to automate testing, interact with web applications, capture screenshots, monitor network requests, and read console logs.

Can I use CodeMeYo for commercial projects?

Absolutely. CodeMeYo is MIT licensed, which means you can use it for personal, commercial, or enterprise projects without any restrictions.

What is Project Indexing?

Project Indexing is CodeMeYo's smart codebase analysis feature. It scans your project structure, understands dependencies, detects frameworks, and injects relevant context into AI prompts so the agent gives accurate, project-aware suggestions from the start.

How do I install CodeMeYo?

Download the installer for your platform from codemeyo.com or GitHub Releases. On Windows, run the .msi or .exe installer. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag to Applications. On Linux, use the .AppImage directly or install the .deb/.rpm package.

Does CodeMeYo auto-update?

Yes, CodeMeYo includes a built-in auto-updater that checks GitHub Releases for new versions. When an update is available, you will be notified and can install it with one click.

Does CodeMeYo support Ollama or local models?

Local model support via Ollama is on the roadmap. Currently CodeMeYo supports Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), and Grok (xAI) through their cloud APIs.

What built-in tools does CodeMeYo have?

CodeMeYo includes 27 built-in tools: file read/write/edit, directory listing, git operations, shell command execution, browser automation (CDP), screenshot capture, project indexing, code search, and more. All tools run locally on your machine.

How do I report bugs or request features?

You can report bugs and request features through GitHub Issues at github.com/jagjourney/codemeyo/issues. Documentation is available at the GitHub Wiki.

Who made CodeMeYo?

CodeMeYo is built and maintained by Jag Journey, LLC.
