OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent designed to help developers plan, implement, and refactor code from a terminal-first workflow, with options to use it as a desktop app or IDE extension. It can connect to multiple model providers (or use included free models), apply changes across a codebase, and support common developer flows like asking questions, adding features, making edits, and undoing changes. OpenCode also integrates with GitHub workflows: you can mention a command in issues or pull requests to have it execute tasks inside a GitHub Actions runner.

PubNub MCP Server is a CLI-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects MCP-compatible AI assistants (like Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex, and others) to PubNub’s SDK documentation and PubNub account/API resources. It helps agents retrieve SDK and Chat SDK documentation across many languages, manage PubNub apps and keysets (including enabling features like persistence, files, presence, and app context), and perform real-time operations such as publish/subscribe, signals, presence, and user/channel objects. The server supports dynamic mode (keys provided per tool call) and fixed mode (publish/subscribe keys set via environment variables) and can be installed via npm or run via Docker, with authentication typically provided using a PubNub API key.

Desktop Commander MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI clients controlled access to your local development environment. It enables running terminal commands with streaming output and interactive process/session management, plus full filesystem operations like reading/writing files, creating directories, and recursive search. It includes diff-based “surgical” edits and pattern-based replacements, powered by ripgrep for fast repo-wide search. The tool also adds native Excel support (read/write/edit/search) and PDF tooling (extract text, create PDFs from markdown, and modify PDFs), along with comprehensive audit logging of tool calls for traceability.

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding assistant designed to run inside VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and web-based editors. Built as a full coding agent, it can plan features, generate new code from natural language, refactor and debug existing projects, run terminal commands, and even automate the browser with user approval. Kilo Code combines ideas from tools like Cline and Roo into a unified workflow with dedicated modes such as Architect, Coder, and Debugger. It connects to 400+ frontier and open models through OpenRouter and similar providers, offers optional hosted credits so developers can start without managing their own API keys, and supports an MCP-style server marketplace for extending the agent with custom tools. This makes it a flexible choice for individual developers and teams who want powerful AI assistance while keeping configuration transparent and community-driven.

AlphaEvolve is an evolutionary AI coding agent developed by Google DeepMind, designed to autonomously discover and optimize complex algorithms across various domains. Leveraging the capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro models, AlphaEvolve employs an ensemble approach that balances computational throughput with solution quality. It utilizes an evolutionary framework where large language models generate candidate algorithms, which are then evaluated and refined through automated processes. This system has achieved notable successes, including surpassing the 56-year-old Strassen algorithm for matrix multiplication and optimizing data center scheduling, leading to significant efficiency gains. AlphaEvolve's ability to generate provably novel and correct algorithms marks a significant advancement in AI-driven scientific discovery.
