Run AI Coding Agents in Coder
Note
This functionality is in early access and is evolving rapidly.
For now, we recommend testing it in a demo or staging environment, rather than deploying to production.

AI Coding Agents such as Claude Code, Goose, and Aider are becoming increasingly popular for:
- Protyping web applications or landing pages
- Researching / onboarding to a codebase
- Assisting with lightweight refactors
- Writing tests and draft documentation
- Small, well-defined chores
With Coder, you can self-host AI agents in isolated development environments with proper context and tooling around your existing developer workflows. Whether you are a regulated enterprise or an individual developer, running AI agents at scale with Coder is much more productive and secure than running them locally.
Prerequisites
Coder is free and open source for developers, with a premium plan for enterprises. You can self-host a Coder deployment in your own cloud provider.
- A Coder deployment with v2.21.0 or later
- A Coder template for your project(s).
- Access to at least one ML model (e.g. Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI)
- Cloud Model Providers (AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI) are supported with some agents
- Self-hosted models (e.g. llama3) and AI proxies (OpenRouter) are supported with some agents
