🤖 mco - Manage AI Coding Agents Easily

---

mco helps you control AI coding helpers. You can use any prompt, work with any AI agent, and connect to many coding tools. It works with popular tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Qwen Code. You can run it from different places like Cursor, Trae, Copilot, Windsurf, or a simple command line.

📋 What is mco?

mco is a tool that allows you to organize and run multiple AI coding agents on your computer. Instead of managing each AI tool separately, you can use mco as a single layer to control them all at once. Whether you want to get code suggestions, review code, or automate coding tasks, mco puts everything together in one place.

It supports different agents and coding environments. This means you can mix and match the tools you already use without changing the way you work. You don't need to learn many different interfaces or commands. mco makes it easier to get AI help with your programming.

🖥️ System Requirements

• Windows 10 or higher (64-bit recommended)
• At least 4 GB of RAM
• 500 MB of free hard drive space
• Internet connection for downloading and running AI agents
• Administrator rights to install software
• PowerShell or Command Prompt
• A text editor (such as Notepad) or IDE is optional but helpful

6. Follow the installer steps. Usually, you just need to click Next a few times and agree to the terms.
7. When installation completes, open the Start Menu and look for mco.
8. Click mco to run the program. A window or command prompt will appear.

🌐 Download and Installation Details

You can visit this page to download the program and its updates:

On this page, you may see folders and files. Look for the latest version release, usually marked with a version number like "v1.0" or "Release 2". Download the file that ends with .exe for Windows.

If you have trouble finding the right file, look for these clues:

• The file name includes "windows" or "win"
• The file size is at least 10 MB (this helps avoid downloading small documentation files)
• It should not be a compressed file like .zip or .tar (unless instructions say so)

Once you finish downloading, run the file as described above.

⚙️ How to Use mco

mco runs from the command line. This means you type simple commands inside a terminal window to tell it what to do.

Opening the Command Prompt

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
2. Type cmd and press Enter.
3. A black window will open. This is the Command Prompt.

Starting mco

• In the Command Prompt window, type:

  mco --help
  

• Press Enter.

• This command shows a list of available commands and options.

Running a Basic Command

To make mco start an AI agent with your instructions:

1. Type the command:

   mco run --agent <agent_name> --prompt "Your question or request"
   

2. Replace <agent_name> with one of the supported agents: claude, codex, gemini, opencode, or qwen.

3. Replace "Your question or request" with the exact text you want to send the AI agent.

For example:

mco run --agent codex --prompt "Write a function to calculate the factorial of a number in Python"

Press Enter to run the command. mco will connect to the AI and show the answer in the terminal.

Reviewing Code

You can ask mco to help review your code:

mco review --agent <agent_name> --file <path_to_code_file>

Replace <path_to_code_file> with the path of your code file. Example:

mco review --agent claude --file C:\Users\YourName\Documents\script.py

The agent will analyze and give feedback directly in the window.

🔧 Troubleshooting Common Issues

• mco command not recognized
  Make sure the installer added mco to your system's PATH. Restart your computer if needed.
• Agent connection errors
  Check your internet connection. Some agents require online access.
• Program crashes or closes immediately
  Run the Command Prompt as Administrator. Right-click the cmd icon and select "Run as administrator".
• No response from agent
  Wait a few seconds. If no response, try a different agent or check the command syntax.

🗂️ File Structure Overview (after installation)

• mco.exe – The main executable to run mco
• config folder – Stores your settings and preferences
• logs folder – Keeps records of your activity for troubleshooting
• agents folder – Contains definitions and setups for each AI agent

🔒 Privacy and Security

mco acts as a middleman between your computer and AI services. It does not store your prompts permanently. Your data is sent only to the AI providers needed for code generation or review.

Always keep your software and agents updated to reduce security risks.
