What is Mita Code?

Mita Code (mita) is a CLI coding assistant that runs large language models entirely on your hardware via Ollama. It gives you an agentic tool loop — reading files, writing code, running shell commands, searching your codebase — all from the terminal, all locally.

Key Features

- :material-server-network: **100% Local** — All inference runs on your hardware via Ollama. - :material-tools: **Agentic Tool Loop** — Read/write files, run shell commands, git operations with confirmation for destructive actions. - :material-memory: **Layered Memory** — `MITA.md` files at global, project, and directory scope are automatically injected into context. - :material-magnify: **Codebase Indexing** — Local vector search (LanceDB + Tree-sitter) for RAG over your codebase. - :material-lightning-bolt: **Skills** — Reusable prompt templates stored as Markdown (e.g., `/commit`, `/review`). - :material-chip: **Hardware-Aware** — Detects your RAM, VRAM, and GPU to recommend models that run well on your machine. - :material-puzzle: **MCP Plugins** — Compatible with the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) ecosystem. - :material-cog: **Layered Config** — TOML configuration cascades from global to project level.
