Every Code is an open-source terminal coding agent maintained by JustEvery, originally forked from the OpenAI Codex repository. It brings LLM-driven coding agent workflows directly to the command line, enabling developers to prompt, inspect, and manipulate local codebases inside a fast terminal interface. Operating as a native CLI tool, Every Code executes local commands, edits files, and manages context in interaction loops. It incorporates protocol parity with upstream Responses APIs and implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow agent interaction with external tools, APIs, and workspace contexts. Built on a Rust toolchain with cross-platform build configurations, Every Code differentiates itself by maintaining direct upstream compatibility with core agent protocols while supporting structured tool invocation and containerized development setups. The project is open-source under a public repository on GitHub and distributed as standalone source builds managed through Cargo and Just runners.
