pi mcp list connects to every enabled server and reports its state, tools, and errors, exiting with 1 when anything fails, so agents can verify an mcp.json they wrote. pi mcp login runs the OAuth sign-in through the browser, and pi mcp logout deletes stored credentials. Running sessions reconnect servers waiting for a sign-in at the next turn when their credentials changed. The system prompt points MCP questions to docs/mcp.md, which now covers setting up servers: which file to edit, rules that are easy to get wrong, converting entries from other clients, and verifying with pi mcp list. |

Pi
Pi is a minimal, extensible AI agent for the terminal. Adapt Pi to your workflow, not the other way around.
Ask Pi to create the prompt templates, skills, extensions, and themes you need, or install a Pi package. Use Pi directly, automate it in print, JSON, or RPC mode, or build applications with the TypeScript SDK.
Getting started
Install the command-line interface with npm:
npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
This requires Node.js 22.19 or newer. Pi does not require dependency lifecycle scripts for a normal npm installation.
On macOS or Linux, you can instead use the installer:
curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh
Start Pi in the directory where you want it to work:
cd /path/to/project
pi
For a built-in AI provider, run /login inside Pi to connect a subscription or API key. Then give Pi a task.
See the documentation for full setup and usage instructions.
Development
Clone the repository, install its dependencies, and run Pi from source:
git clone https://github.com/earendil-works/pi
cd pi
npm install --ignore-scripts
./pi-test.sh
pi-test.sh can be called from any directory and preserves the caller's working directory.
Before submitting changes, run:
npm run check
./test.sh
