mlx-code
Local coding agent for Mac with git-backed subagents
mlx-code is an open-source coding agent for Mac built on Apple's MLX. It supports local models and external APIs, plus subagenting for delegation when context starts to decay. You can customize behavior with system prompts, skills, custom tools, and alternate harnesses, while keeping every step captured in git commits for full traceability and easy rollback. It’s designed as a flexible building block for agent workflows, from conversational coding to sandboxed multi-agent systems.
mlx-code is built for people who want agents they can shape, inspect, and trust. Every agent action happens in an isolated git worktree and is captured as a commit, giving you a complete audit trail, instant rewind to any point, and no risk to your working branch. You can spin up separate agents for separate concerns, review their commits, and merge only what you want.
It also works the way you work: chain it through terminal pipelines, import it in Python to build custom workflows, connect it to local models or APIs, or swap in your own harness and custom tools. Whether you want a simple local coding assistant or to script a complex, multi-agent CI pipeline, mlx-code gives you the exact pieces you need.
