What is it?

AnkaLoop is a Python coding agent that runs locally or on your own server. It ships with built-in tools for reading, searching, editing, and executing code, plus persistent sessions, project rules in AGENTS.md, and long-term memory, so work carries over beyond a single prompt.

The same core runtime is exposed through a CLI, a FastAPI HTTP/WebSocket server, and an optional Telegram bot. Built-in explorer, planner, coder, and focused_coder agents handle delegated subtasks, and MCP servers over stdio or HTTP/SSE extend the toolset. Skills, slash commands, and hooks let teams customize behavior per project.

It works with OpenAI, Anthropic, GMI, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, configured through a TOML file. OpenTelemetry tracing and cron-compatible automation jobs are also included.
