> Your options are kind of limited: - Amazon Q CLI - Claude Code CLI - OpenAI Codex CLI

Ampcode have a CLI, which is their agent using Claude 4.

Google also came out with Jules a few days ago.

There's aider, with which you can use whichever LLM you'd like.

I'm pretty sure that there are others...

Aider does not have MCP support yet. Neither does Jules I believe.

Ampcode I heard of, but I also heard it's very expensive, same for Devin. I also don't know if either of them support MCP.

I'm sure there are others, of varying quality, but realistically, the options you'd want to use are the ones I listed I think.

P.S.: I'd been looking for alternatives by the way, something that lets me use OpenAI models, I've yet to try it but heard good things about: https://block.github.io/goose/
