Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 673 stars · 89 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: Apache-2.0 · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.

Main

  • Pick your provider strategy first: use free tiers (Gemini/Qwen), OAuth for subscriptions (Claude/Codex), or point to a local OpenAI-compatible base URL.

  • Use non-interactive mode for automation (CI scripts) and interactive REPL for exploratory coding and refactors.

  • When you need tools, connect external MCP integrations (README notes MCP support) and keep secrets in provider-specific configs.

Source-backed notes

  • README shows provider commands like /auth + /provider + /model for Gemini/Qwen/Anthropic/Codex.
  • README includes install options via Homebrew and npm (npm install -g @vybestack/llxprt-code) and a no-install npx example.
  • README describes both interactive REPL workflows and non-interactive single-command mode for automation.

FAQ

  • Do I have to use one provider?: No — README is built around switching providers and models per session.
  • Is it only interactive?: No — README shows non-interactive mode for scripted usage and CI-style automation.
  • Can I use it with local models?: Yes — README mentions local providers (LM Studio/llama.cpp/Ollama) and OpenAI-compatible base URLs.
