AIChat

Coyote originally started as a fork of the fantastic AIChat CLI. The initial goal was simply to fix a bug in how MCP servers worked with AIChat, allowing different MCP servers to be specified per agent. Since then, Coyote has evolved far beyond its original scope and grown into a passion project with a life of its own.

Today, Coyote includes first-class MCP server support (for both local and remote servers), a built-in vault for interpolating secrets in configuration files, built-in agents and macros, dynamic tab completions, integrated custom functions (no external argc dependency), improved documentation, and much more with many more ideas planned for the future.

Coyote is now developed and maintained as an independent project. Full credit for the original foundation goes to the developers of the wonderful AIChat project.

This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AIChat maintainers.

AIChat

Coyote originally began as a fork of AIChat CLI, created and maintained by the AIChat contributors.

While Coyote has since diverged significantly and is now developed as an independent project, its early foundation and inspiration came from the AIChat project.
