Use the Qodo Agentic Toolbox CLI when you want to use Qodo-managed skills locally. For remote or custom agents, workflows, or applications, use MCP. With the CLI, your coding agent can use Qodo’s code understanding and review capabilities as part of your local development workflow. For example, you can:
  • Review changes before opening a pull request.
  • Retrieve and resolve review findings.
  • Understand your codebase, including dependencies, relationships, and recent changes.
  • Retrieve the rules and standards that apply to a task.
  • Access and manage Review Standards.
You install the Qodo Agentic Toolbox locally to make Qodo-managed skills available to your agent. You can install the Agentic Toolbox without a Qodo account, but you need to sign in to Qodo to use its managed skills. For more information about choosing between the CLI and MCP, see Agentic Toolbox overview.
The Agentic Toolbox is a separate product from the deprecated Qodo Command CLI (@qodo/command) and Qodo Gen CLI.If you have an existing Qodo Command installation, installing the Agentic Toolbox replaces it automatically. You don’t need to uninstall it separately.
