## Works with

What goose runs, and what can run goose. "With your existing login" means the wrapped tool's subscription is reused, no second bill.

### Runs

- [Claude Code](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/claude-code) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): Anthropic's terminal agent. Reads the codebase, edits files and runs commands, with a VS Code and JetBrains extension and a web surface on the same engine. Runs the claude-agent-acp adapter against your installed Claude Code login. Session resume and fork are not supported through ACP yet.
- [Codex CLI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/codex-cli) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): OpenAI's open source terminal agent. Signs in with a ChatGPT account and shares the plan's usage window, or bills an API key at token prices. Runs the codex-acp adapter with a ChatGPT Plus or Pro login or an OpenAI key.
- [Pi](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/pi) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): Minimal terminal coding harness from Mario Zechner, now maintained by Earendil. Four built in tools, tree structured sessions, and TypeScript extensions for everything else. Runs the pi-acp adapter.

### Runs inside

- [JetBrains AI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/jetbrains-ai) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): AI Assistant and the Junie agent in JetBrains IDEs. Completions on JetBrains models are free, cloud agents draw from monthly AI Credits. Claude Agent and Codex plug in over ACP.
- [Warp](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/warp) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Terminal with a built in agent and an Agent CLI, open sourced under AGPL-3.0 in April 2026. Runs Claude Code, Codex and other CLI agents in tabs with worktrees, plus cloud agents.
- [Zed](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/zed) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): Open source editor written in Rust with GPU rendering. Hosts external agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI over ACP at no charge, with its own hosted models on Pro.

## Models

- **Providers**: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, OpenRouter
- **Bring your own key**: BYOK
- **Local models**: Yes
- **Signs in with**: ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot

Also Azure, Amazon Bedrock, Groq, Ollama and OpenAI compatible endpoints. DeepSeek, Moonshot, Qwen, GLM and MiniMax go through OpenRouter and similar gateways. Claude plans are reached by running Claude Code over ACP rather than a direct login.

## Features

- **Parallel agents**: Several agents running at once
- **Subagents**: The agent can delegate to child agents
- **MCP client**: Connects to MCP servers
- **ACP client**: Hosts external agents over the Agent Client Protocol
- **ACP agent**: Can be hosted by ACP clients such as Zed
- **Sandboxing**: Runs commands in an isolated sandbox
- **Scheduled tasks**: Automations that run on a schedule
